❌ Disabilities don’t start at 9:30am, so neither should disabled bus passes. 🚍 Tomorrow Parliament will debate my amendment, backed by 50+ cross-party MPs, to scrap the 9:30am restriction on disabled bus passes. ✉️ Contact your MP and ask them to support NC2 to the Bus Bill.

The Renters’ Rights Bill returns from the House of Lords today. It will level decisively the playing field between landlord and tenant and transform the experience of private renting. England’s 11 million private renters need it to receive Royal Assent as quickly as possible.

Does Lucy Connolly's appearance at Reform conference mean that's another defection from @Conservatives?

We were delighted to welcome @mike_reader MP for Northampton South to Danes Camp last month, where he held a surgery for his constituents. It was a pleasure to host this important community event and support open conversations between local residents and their MP.

I defy anyone to listen to this interview with @AngelaRayner and reach any other conclusion than that the Deputy Prime Minister has tried to do the right thing at every turn in a complex, technical area of tax policy. We all rely on advice. Anyone could have made this mistake.
"Did you think about, should I pack it in for the sake of the family?" Speaking exclusively to #ElectoralDysfunction, Angela Rayner tells @BethRigby why she isn't resigning as Deputy PM. 🎧 Listen: https://t.co/rZKxGb8jiW 📺 Watch: https://t.co/VI9bp047tw

I took Ed Davey kayaking to ask him just how well his Mr Nice Guy routine works. He said his his stunt-laden strategy was inspired by right-wing leaders such as Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson. We also spoke care, restless MPs, and how to fight reform
politico.eu
It could take more than eye-catching stunts to steal attention from populists like Nigel Farage at the next election.

Devolution mustn’t be blocked by party politics. Communities across the UK deserve the same chance to shape their future & drive growth. My argument in @PoliticsHome 👇 https://t.co/3FYust5d3J

Fracking was stopped in Lancashire after earthquakes from test drilling. It contaminates groundwater & pollutes the air. There's no evidence it would cut bills as fracked gas would be bought by highest bidder. Reform talk about net stupid zero. Fracking Stupid Reform more like.
