Great to attend the unveiling of the commemorative wall at the Red Shed, marking the 40th anniversary of the 84-85 Miner’s Strike. It’s important that we remember the extraordinary struggle and hardship people went through and the lasting impact it has had on our communities.

Thank you to @CanalRiverTrust & @EnvAgency for their swift clean up work. I'm really concerned about the continued deterioration of the condition of our rivers and waterways.

How many more times do the public need to reject Rishi Sunak and his Conservative Party before he gets the hint? The public keep telling him it’s just not good enough, but he just doesn’t get it. Call a General Election now! #PMQS

With more than a million Palestinian civilians sheltering in Rafah, an Israeli offensive must not go ahead. There must be an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages, and unimpeded aid into Gaza that can be delivered regularly, quickly and safely.

Very proud of the amazing set of results in #Wakefield . It’s clear that people have chosen change over chaos and decline under the Tories. Your vote for our fantastic @UKLabour councillors is a step towards a Labour government, and a step to get Britain’s future back!
