2 million children. 14% of all UK children. Growing up in food poverty in one of the richest countries on earth. This is not an accident. It’s a political choice. I look forward to the day a Government Minister resigns over this national disgrace. #RightToFoodCommission

Thank you to @RachaelMaskell MP for tabling amendments to the Railways Bill which would make sure that GBR has a duty to protect staff from assaults at work #ActionAgainstAssaults

Thank you to @AndyMcDonaldMP for tabling important amendments to the Railways Bill which would ensure, in line with Labour’s Plan for Rail, that GBR is a single employer, creating a far simpler and efficient structure and treating staff as an asset, not as a cost to be cut.

Palantir's co-founder claimed "the NHS makes people sick". Yet this US tech giant now runs the NHS data platform. There are serious concerns about its access to patient data and human rights record. The Government should use the break clause to kick Palantir out of our NHS.

You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts. You voted against banning fire and rehire. You voted against day one sick pay for workers. You said the minimum wage was too high for young people. Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions. You will always

Reform is now the party of workers. Today I am inviting trade unions to apply for affiliation with Reform UK. We also welcome union leaders to attend our national conference in September and engage in discussions about the policies of a future Reform government.

Reform have been crystal clear where they stand, and it's not for working people. They'd rip up and repeal the Employment Rights Act and the Equality Act, and cut good pensions. They're no party of workers. There's only one party of workers, and the clue is in the name.

Labour cannot defeat Reform by chasing Reform. We have to return to the values we were founded on: standing up for working people, tackling inequality and injustice, investing in public services, and improving living standards. If we get this wrong, the danger of Farage and his
