    It's absolutely crucial that everyone gets their jab to protect all of us from the virus. So if you're 36 and over then please book your vaccination now.

    Great news: From today, people aged 36 and over can book their vaccination. Remember—COVID-19 is still with us. Having the vaccine will protect you, your loved ones and our city as it reopens. Book your slot today ⬇️

    I wrote to to urge Govt support for the Biden global tax reforms. These proposals would give us more than £10 billion of extra tax revenue & help put a stop to corporate tax dodging. It's a no brainer - reform must be high on the agenda when we host the G7 in June

    Today I asked the Govt what more they will do to educate communities about Jew-hate & Islamophobia. Discussion and disagreement about an international conflict cannot morph into a national expression of hate

    The UK is the only G7 country not to endorse President Biden's plans for a minimum rate of corporation tax. Instead of joining forces to take on the tech giants, the Conservatives are throwing obstacles in the way. They’ve got all the wrong priorities.

    Sickening racism. This abuse does nothing but fuel fear, mistrust & division. Pointless and dangerous!

    Big developers in Barking & Dagenham are failing to fix the disastrous cladding scandal. Totally unacceptable. Here I name and shame them.

    Has anyone in this Tory government not been fishing for contracts and plundering the public purse?!

    Brilliant questions from on Greensill scandal this afternoon. Here we have a former Prime Minister who, like the current PM, is completely at ease with the huge revolving door at Whitehall

    Extraordinary moment. quotes David Cameron's famous lobbying speech - "the lunches, the hospitality, the quiet word in your ear" - and asks if he understands the irony. He declines to answer, instead details the work he did on lobbying.

    I'm appalled that yesterday on Radio 4, the Universities Minister Michelle Donelan explicitly stated that Holocaust denial would be protected under new campus free speech proposals. Today, I raised a Point of Order in the house: Holocaust denial should never be protected speech.

    You can't trust Boris Johnson as far as you can throw him...

    Confirmed. Boris Johnson has a county court judgement against him for an unpaid debt of £535, from October last year. He still hasn't paid it.

    In the 2019 election, there was just one conviction for voter fraud. 3.5 million British citizens do not have a photo ID. This is a cynical and ugly attempt to rig the system to disempower the poorest and most marginalised groups.
