    Agree. Devastating to see the loss of life on both sides of the Israel-Palestine conflict, but this has nothing to do with British Jews. Antisemitism has no place in our society.

    Very difficult to watch the anti-Jewish hatred being aggressively shouted/broadcast/on placards in London over the past 2 days. Some of it happening v near to where I live. Antisemitism in the UK sadly always spikes when there is conflict in the ME but this feels worse than ever.

    Eid Mubarak to all Muslims celebrating. Wishing you a blessed and peaceful end to the holy month of Ramadan. I hope you've been enjoying the feast and that next year you'll be able to gather with more family and friends to spend this special time together.

    Boris Johnson must confirm the bereaved families will be fully involved with the Covid inquiry - including in finalising its remit. If he fails, he could create a generational injustice as we saw with Hillsborough, forcing bereaved families to campaign for decades for justice.

    BREAKING: the PM has just told me, he will start an independent inquiry into the Government’s handling of Covid, in this parliamentary session - ie in the next 12 months. We’ll hold him to account on behalf of our country’s bereaved families - so they can get answers & justice.

    On the 10th anniversary of the Istanbul Convention, the first binding international treaty to end violence against women and girls, the Government could use today to say they'll finally ratify it. Instead they're more interested in suppressing democracy.

    Leaseholders have been betrayed by the Conservatives. Lib Dems tried 5 times in the Fire Safety Bill to prevent leaseholders from having to pay the costs of making their homes safe. But the Tories refused.

    Thanks for all the lovely messages. Had a brilliant day doing perfectly normal things - pizza, beer and cycling in the sun round Hackney Wick and Victoria Park. Of course, in an alternate timeline that bike ride could have been free 😉
