ICYMI: Trying to limit debate & sanitise our online lives through regulation just masks societal divisions & prejudices rather than tackling the underlying causes says @RuthSmeeth . We need a balance between protecting ourselves & defending #FreedomOfExpression .

As families gather around the Seder table this evening, I know that for many this year it will feel different. Sending my warmest wishes to the Jewish community for Passover. I hope you draw strength from this very special festival. Chag sameach.

There's an increasing need for police protection for individual politicians. Some are even withdrawing from political life due to threats on their lives. @RuthAnderson pens this week's blog on why politicians must be protected.

These figures shame the Ministry of Defence. Regrettably, this is more evidence of utterly unacceptable behaviour towards women in defence. The Defence Secretary must take the lead and root this out. 1/2

#Ukraine : We cannot forget Putin's illegal annexation of #Crimea . Nariman Dzhelyal stood up for the rights of #Tatars & because of that he's in prison for his dissent. @RuthAnderson spoke in the @UKHouseofLords about his bravery. Read his essay here:

100 years ago today, the first Labour Government was formed. In the century since then only three more Labour leaders have won power at a general election. This is the year we must break the pattern of defeat and write a new chapter of renewal. 🌹

This decision on mothballing our two UK landing ships is the loudest alarm yet about the depth of the Conservative recruitment crisis in our Armed Forces. Laying up both would further hollow out our forces and raise serious concern over future operations for the Royal Marines.
