Teresa May’s Brexit deal fails: my reaction

Contrary to popular belief the Govt hasn’t suffered a defeat tonight. Far from it. Instead it’s been completely and utterly, routed.

Children’s centres: the campaign continues – my video

Today I’m launching this video (LINK) as we approach the last chance to save our children’s centres. I am very grateful to the parents and staff who spoke so honestly and openly to Jeremy Corbyn and me about their experiences. We were moved by things you told us and angered…

I speak at #Stanstead15 protest

While the focus of news is elsewhere at the moment, we must not forget what the #Stansted15 have done by standing up for fundamental human rights. I spoke to a rally outside the Home Office last night in solidarity with these incredibly brave 15, and I believe that it is more important…
