Delighted and proud to be joining the Government as a whip in @UKHouseofLords. Can't wait to help drive forward Labour’s plan for change, including important Bills coming up in the Lords on improving our schools, making work fairer and building more homes and infrastructure.

An insulting and demeaning world view. Black and Brown immigrants aren’t here to do the jobs that people like Zack Polanski think are beneath them. There is dignity and value in care work - that’s why Labour has introduced a historic Fair Pay Agreement for social care workers.

"There are some on the right – Jewish and non-Jewish alike – whose antisemitism detection systems, on high alert when Corbyn hove into view, seem to have mysteriously failed". @Daniel_Sugarman in @JewishNewsUK on selective outrage at Farage’s antisemitism

Rachel is - and has always been - a real friend to the Jewish community. She drew an important red line in her LFI speech. Rejecting the idea there is something inherently wrong about the right of the Jewish people to self-determination is vital to tackling antisemitism.

An excellent speech by @RachelReevesMP at the @_LFI lunch today. She nailed the "distortion" that Zionism has to be "apologised for or worse yet, a label to be surrendered to conspiracy theorists and antisemites." Reeves: I’m an unapologetic Zionist

Look at this angry little man. I’ve been to war three times for this country and spent my life in service- all he does is stoke division and fear for his political project.

Too many young people are not in education, employment or training. We’re changing that. Investing in more apprenticeships. Cutting costs for employers to hire young people. Launching new training in industries of the future like AI and defence. A Britain, built for all.

4.5 million children in the UK grow up in poverty. Three quarters of them from working families. How can they achieve their potential when they are skipping meals, or going to sleep in a cold bedroom? I will not stand by and watch that happen. We are acting now to lift those

Proud to unveil the Child Poverty Strategy. Child poverty is a scourge I grew up with, it is a scourge I want to end. This government will drive the biggest reduction of child poverty in a single Parliament. This is how we get there. https://t.co/JP2ertibAS

Perhaps now Farage will do the right thing and apologise. Tice too, for calling his boss's victims liars...
