As someone with a PTSD diagnosis, I know how debilitating mental health conditions can be.
The DWP Secretary says the benefits system shouldn't be paying people to deal with the “ordinary difficulties of life”.
If he thinks that's not trivialising mental illness, what is it?
Spoke at London commemoration International Workers Day highlighting high number of deaths & injuries at work over last year. 135 dead & over half a million injuries. We need an end to cuts in Health & Safety Executive & restoration of trade union rights. @unitetheunion
Today on International Workers’ Memorial Day, we remember workers whose lives were lost in the workplace and those who suffer life-changing injuries & ill health.
In their memory, let’s commit to fighting for safe working conditions, organised workplaces & trade unions for all!
Around the world, the growing solidarity movement is making it clear:
Continuing to arm Israel is immoral & unjustifiable.
Complicity is unforgiveable.
A ceasefire is vital.
Where is the outrage now that mass graves have been found in Gaza?
Why don’t we know more about the bodies found with hands tied & clothing stripped?
Where is the wall-to-wall coverage of this?
Where is the international condemnation?
Today I met with constituents in Parliament as part of the @PSCupdates lobby.
If you’re a constituent who hasn’t been in touch about Gaza but would like to, do drop me an email!
Over 1,000 hospital workers at Barts NHS Trust will striking again next month.
Their dispute is about pay, safe staffing levels and a lump-sum payment owed to them as part of a previous pay deal — they deserve our full support!
Movements against past injustices (e.g. the Vietnam war or apartheid South Africa) were demonised at the time but were vindicated by history.
The same will be true of protests against genocide in Gaza.
Solidarity with those standing-up for what's right, here & around the world.
Great to stand with other @UKLabour MPs and members in support of @SadiqKhan yesterday - great manifesto that shows the ambition of Labour in power. Don't forget to vote on May 2nd!
Instead of providing safe & legal routes, the UK Government has decided to deport desperate people to Rwanda.
Instead of presenting solutions to the crises we face, it scapegoats refugees.
Just today, 5 people including a child have died trying to cross the Channel.
Shameful.
