           Join me and @cbmsilence to end the oppressive use of NDAs that silence victims of abuse and discrimination.  https://t.co/kPcnk9GkKX

              From hospitality to retail, from finance to the Post Office, contracts that silence workers from speaking out about discrimination, harassment, and abuse in the workplace are everywhere.  These...

             Nearly a year on from the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, Israeli forces continue to breach it - including attacks on UN peacekeepers at the weekend. Today in Parliament, I asked what the UK is doing to support #Lebanon and its Armed Forces at this critical time

             These reforms are a victory for survivors and for everyone who’s campaigned tirelessly to make their voices count. Proud to have fought for both ✊🌹

             For too long, children of convicted sex offenders were left unprotected - through no fault of their own. That ends now. Families will finally be shielded from these dangerous individuals, thanks to the courage of survivors who spoke out.

             Yesterday, the Labour Government corrected a historic injustice - protecting children from convicted sex offenders and ending the misuse of NDAs that silence victims. Two vital steps to put survivors first

             Proud to see the @UKLabour Government deliver on its promise to end the misuse of NDAs. This reform restores victims’ voices and drives the culture change we’ve long called for.

             No parent convicted of such crimes should retain rights over a child – this is a vital step forward in safeguarding. Congrats to @nataliefleetmp, @HarrietHarman, and @Jess4Lowestoft for their work on this 👏🌹

             Unearned income and wealth are taxed far less than everyday earnings - that’s completely unfair & holds back our economy. I welcome the Chancellor’s commitment to addressing this.

             £3bn of “headroom” appeared overnight. If that can change in weeks what faith can anyone have in the next set of fiscal numbers for 5 yrs' time? These aren’t solid forecasts –they’re moving targets. We should show a range of headroom figures not pretend there’s one precise answer

             Plans for a major reform of the housebuying system, which aim to cut costs, reduce delays and halve failed sales, have been unveiled by the government. Housing minister Miatta Fahnbulleh told #BBCBreakfast the changes would "fix the broken system" in England

             There is no place in our society for acts of violence such as this. And it is sickening to target any place of faith. My thoughts are with all victims, their families & solidarity with the Jewish community.
