Pleased to join Unison General Secretary Andrea Egan & Andy McDonald MP at rally to urge the government to halt its plans to undermine our work visa system which would put so many of our caring services at risk as we lose workers who play such a vital role in our society.

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.

Together with almost 140 fellow Labour MPs, I have written to the Foreign Secretary to call for a ban on trade with illegal Israeli settlements. Our group includes every Labour select committee chair. It’s time to be clear that settlements have no viable economic future (1/2)
