    The Conservatives say all the right things but takes none of the action necessary to end the scourge of plastics. Really fantastic campaign from

    What’s the UK government’s plastic policy? Dump it on other countries! Less than 10% of our plastic recycling is actually recycled in the UK. The rest is sent overseas where it’s often burned or dumped, fuelling health and wildlife emergencies. RT to expose. 1/5

    We must not be lulled into any false sense of security by the furlough scheme, which has protected millions of jobs but is due to end in September. We need to see the furlough scheme maintained at least until the end of the year.

    The Government's planning reforms will rip powers away from local people and give them to wealthy property developers. They must scrap them now.

    As restrictions are lifted, we can't afford to repeat the mistakes of last summer. All Covid cases and their contacts must be isolated to stop the spread, yet the Health Secretary still won't commit to proper financial & practical support to encourage people to self-isolate

    The theme of this year’s is resisting, supporting and healing together. As we start to emerge from the pandemic, it perfectly encapsulates many of the needs of LGBT+ people in 2021. -

    Today I urged the Govt to release Kickstart Scheme data at a local level, after concerns were raised at a business roundtable. The Minister revealed only 19% of Kickstart places created so far in SE have been filled. Local data will help us get more young people into these jobs.

    Too many people’s lives are blighted by discrimination and hate. We will always stand up against homophobia, transphobia and biphobia in the UK and around the world. Together let’s build a fair society where everyone’s rights and dignity are protected.

    It does appear that Boris Johnson put the pursuit of a post-Brexit trade deal with India ahead of public health. The Covid public inquiry must look into this decision and whether it was influenced by politics and not the science.

    The rising tension and violence is deeply concerning. The Government must do their part to help de-escalate the violence. International pressure must be applied to ensure both sides abide by their commitments under international law. - speaks to ⬇️

    The Conservatives' new anti-democratic planning laws would ride roughshod over the views of local people. There is a much better way, using local neighbourhood planning to provide the homes, facilities and infrastructure communities need.

    Just chaired a parliamentary event with , hearing from parents of disabled children about their experiences during Covid. Many families are isolated, anxious and unable to access support. They urgently need a dedicated recovery plan.

    Massive thanks to for hosting our Parliamentary event on Covid recovery for disabled children & their families; to all the Parliamentarians who attended; & most of all to Dan & Vanessa for sharing their powerful & moving stories

    This enormous backlog and the growing number of refusals show that the Settled Status scheme is anything but automatic. The government must act now to prevent a new Windrush-style scandal in just a few weeks.
