Energising meeting with @arise_festival on tackling poverty.
We've had a challenging first year.
So what’s the way back?
Face outwards, listen to people, and build an alternative to raise living standards rooted in Labour values.
We need a fairer economy that works for everyone.
Fail to tackle the gap between haves and have-nots, public services break, inequality grows, living standards stagnate, and the far right exploits fear, blaming migrants.
The risks of ignoring poverty are unthinkable.

Labour’s long awaited poverty strategy needs to deliver for families.
Lifting the two-child cap could get 470,000 children out of poverty.
It’s the right thing and the smart thing to do.
Poverty’s impact lasts a lifetime - we all lose from lost potential.
Scrap the cap.
I’ve written for @tribunemagazine on the Global Sumud Flotilla.
Volunteers are being smeared as terrorists for bringing aid to Palestinians facing a man-made famine.
Other governments support them, ours must do the same.
Solidarity isn't a crime.

Our Government must act to defend the Global Sumud Flotilla.
My constituent Louie Findlater and other British citizens are at risk.
Delivering aid to a people facing famine and genocide is not a crime.
I’ve written to the Foreign Secretary urgently requesting support.

The two-child cap drives families into poverty, robbing children of their life chances. It has to go.
We can’t stop there.
We need a benefits floor which guarantee life’s essentials.
Too often we’re stuck fighting cruelty or cuts instead of building a fair welfare system.
The Israeli Government is using increasingly concerning language towards the Freedom Flotilla.
A constituent of mine, Louie Findlater, is on board.
The UK Government must set out it will defend the human rights of these humanitarian volunteers.
Reform’s plan to deport people with a right to remain is the politics of posh bigots with no understanding of working-class communities.
It means tearing away our neighbours who have built lives here - ripping families apart, not for any crime, but for being born elsewhere.
Over 14 million people in poverty. Inequality is out of control.
Wealth is hoarded at the top by the billionaire class - they take a bigger share every year.
We need to rebalance the economy: fair taxation to fight poverty and fund public services.

The recognition of Palestine is a historic step forward and one I have been calling for in Parliament.
But the genocide in Gaza rages on.
The UK must go further: wider sanctions, a full arms embargo and increased humanitarian aid.
We must act now to stop the killing.
My Positive About Poole Conference brought out the best of our town – local businesses, trade unions and charities all discussing how to make Poole an even better place to live.
I’ll now collate the proposals and give local people a vote on local priorities going forward.
The SEND strategy must be shaped by the needs of children and families, and retain personal legal protections.
If it’s treated as a cost-cutting exercise, it’s doomed to fail.
The voices of those with lived experience must be at the heart of policy-making.
The two-child benefit cap affects 1.7 million children, forcing too many into deep poverty.
It's a Tory policy designed to punish, not support families.
We must reject this Dickensian approach and build a welfare system that guarantees everyone can afford life's essentials.
I back @BellRibeiroAddy for Deputy Leader.
A strong voice to speak up on poverty, inequality, genocide in Gaza & beating the far right.
Bell's right, we can't out-Reform, Reform. But we can be more Labour.
Members deserve a choice that reflects our party’s broad church.
My amendment to the Bus Services Bill would include school buses in the £3 fare cap.
It isn't right that families can be left paying over the odds to get their children to school.
This is a practical proposal to make life a little easier for hardworking families.
It's time for an ironclad New Hunting Ban to finally stop the killing of foxes for sport.
Our wildlife has paid the price for loopholes in the Hunting Act.
Great to welcome @RSPCA_official & @LeagueACS to Parliament to discuss how to end this barbaric practice for good.
It's rewarding to see that my work in Westminster has been acknowledged - proud to be listed as 11th of 335 new MPS.
Since being elected I've tried to make a difference and speak up for the people of Poole.
For as long as I'm your MP, I'll be working hard, day in day out.
We must go further to stop the genocide in Gaza.
Tens of thousands murdered, children killed queuing for aid, a man-made famine. War crime after war crime.
I joined @PSCupdates to demand: an immediate recognition of Palestine, harsh sanctions, and a full arms embargo.
