Norwich Holocaust Memorial Day Service

Today is #HolocaustMemorialDay. No day should pass where we don’t reflect and learn both individually and collectively from the mistakes and wrongs of the past. Today, we specifically remember those who were murdered by the Nazis, including 6 million Jews, and victims of more recent genocides. Today – and every…

Keeping in touch with residents in Norwich

It was great to speak to Norwich South residents by phone on Saturday as part of Norwich Labour Party’s phone bank! Lockdown makes it more difficult to reach out to local people: usually we’d be out on the #labourdoorstep every week, knocking on doors and asking about local issues. Norwich…

I join EDP’s ‘Fightback East’ campaign

The Eastern Daily Press has started a campaign called Fightback East calling on the government to not overlook the needs of the eastern region in the recovery from Covid. The paper asked me for comment and this what I said: “There is absolutely no justification for returning to sink or…

ITV Anglia appearence: lockdown question

Last week I was appalled to find out that the Government’s daily use of 30-minute lateral flow tests in schools had not been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agenda. The tests were not approved because of concerns that false reassurance could be given about a negative test…

Labour Opposition Day Debate: digital inclusion

Yesterday, The Labour Party put forward a motion on free school meals and digitial inclusion. This called upon the Government to guarantee the value of free school meals support and provide children with the support they need to learn effectively from home. Disappointingly, but not suprisingly, Tory MPs failed to…

Vulnerable must get Covid-19 vaccine: letter to ministers

I’ve added my name to letters calling on the Home Secretary and Health Secretary to ensure that the most vulnerable get their Covid-19 vaccinations. More than 30 MPs from different parties have joined the campaign and are urging the government to make sure there is a route for the homeless…

Labour Opposition Day Debate: Universal Credit

Today in Parliament, The Labour Party forced a vote on the Tories’ plans to cut £20 a week from Universal Credit. But shamefully, the Conservatives have chosen not to row back on plans to cut support for families in the middle of this pandemic. This £20 a week uplift was…
