A huge thank you to award winning photographer @misanharriman for helping me mark 20 years since I was first elected to Parliament. And the first Black woman to speak from the despatch box.

@hopenothate @AntiRacismDay The Mother of the House, @HackneyAbbott, powerfully intervened during my speech. Diane said someone working for her had never seen the N-word so often. Diane endures more abuse than any other MP. Sadly, I can relate. Here's a recent example of the vile racism I receive. 3/3

It was an honour to speak at the #BlackHistoryMonth Debate. We need these conversations now more than ever. In the face of a rising far-Right, we must stand united against hate. โœŠ๐Ÿพ 1/3

Backbench or frontbench, elected office is not about us, but our chance to change the lives of others for the better. From wherever I sit on these benches, I will fight with everything I have to do exactly that. https://t.co/AJyFY1LTuU

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

Poverty is a political choice. I was a minister in the last Labour govt when we lifted 400,000 children out of poverty. The Conservatives reversed that progress and millions have paid the price. With free breakfast clubs & school meals, weโ€™re rebuilding. Britain can do better.
