2 Apr 2026Housing & Planningangry“Good. Disgusting thing to have said.”↗
2 Apr 2026Economy & Jobs (General)defensive“Rubbish. The economy was in a mess. As soon as we could afford it we did it.”↗
2 Apr 2026Cost of Livingdefensive“It wasn’t in the manifesto. What’s your point? Labour governments always cut child poverty, and this one will bring in the biggest cut in one term ever. It’s who we are and what we are for.”↗
2 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentdefensive“No. They were suspended for voting against the first King’s Speech of the Labour government, a self-indulgent act that did nothing to help the children. Don’t mistake posturing for action. All best.”↗
2 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentdefensive“Nonsense. And by the way: people can disagree without being dishonest. I am not trying to “con” anyone.”↗
1 Apr 2026Cost of Livingcelebratory“This week this Labour government lifts half a million children out of poverty Genuinely: is that not worth voting for on its own? Just think about what that money will mean to those families. And we made it happen by choosing a Labour government two years ago”↗
1 Apr 2026Housing & Planningangry“I can’t get over how disgusted I am by this Have a policy critique of the building safety regulator, fine But comments like this Who even are these people And they may soon be running the housing service for 40% of my constituents”↗
1 Apr 2026Housing & Planningangry“Link inews.co.uk/news/grenfel...”↗
1 Apr 2026Housing & Planningangry““You know…sadly…everyone dies in the end. It’s just how you go, right? Fires do happen.” Reform’s housing lead - on Grenfell. Appalling. Shows what Reform think of council tenants & flat dwellers Don’t risk Reform in charge of council housing on 7 May”↗
1 Apr 2026Jobs & Employmentcelebratory“Happy National Minimum Wage day! Today the NMW is going up to £12.71ph, helping millions across the country”↗
31 Mar 2026Jobs & Employmentangry“Well, no. Their behaviour is astonishing.”↗
31 Mar 2026Educationmeasured“I am not criticising teachers - not at all. But regulators are supposed to make those they regulate a bit uncomfortable - i think following the recent changes Ofsted is getting th balance right”↗
31 Mar 2026Educationmeasured“I know no parent (and few teachers) who think we should abolish Ofsted We need to know independent information about how schools are doing - or working class children will pay the price with their education”↗
30 Mar 2026Local Governmentmeasured“You can see even more of us here”↗
30 Mar 2026Local Governmentcelebratory“Nobody’s saying it’s not tough. It is. So much needs fixing. But we’re proud, we work bloody hard and stand up for our ends. 72 brilliant candidates will carry the Labour banner into these Sandwell elections - representing a Labour group that has turned our council around. 🌹”↗
30 Mar 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“Just brilliant to have the Cabinet and the PM in the Black Country, which is benefitting so much from Labour in government - from the NMW to the end of the 2CL, Pride in Place, local government funding, industrial strategy, school rebuilds, our new hospital, waiting lists of 1year+ down 78% & more”↗
30 Mar 2026Local Governmentcelebratory“Incredibly proud of local young Tipton and Wednesbury activist Kashvi (grey dress), pictured here with the PM at the local elections launch just up the road in Wolverhampton”↗
28 Mar 2026Social Careangry“I find the dismissal of coercion and lack of understanding of VAWG on the part of proponents equally repugnant”↗
28 Mar 2026Othermeasured“Probably not. I’m pretty clear where I stand and this bill has clarified it for me. I don’t think it is possible for assisted dying to be systematically safe from people dying who didn’t want that”↗
28 Mar 2026Social Careangry“Good. A dreadful bill full of holes that would have endangered disabled people and those vulnerable to coercion. Am so proud of every MP and peer who stood firm and continued to raise their concerns in the face of smears and intimidation.”↗
27 Mar 2026Educationsarcastic“So: nothing can ever get better cos any changes might not work perfectly immediately everywhere so let’s not even try?”↗
