Twitter Web App : Tomorrow, the Conservatives can do the right thing and vote with Labour to #CancelTheCut to Universal Credit.
Their cut will cost six million families £1,000 a year and push 200,000 children into poverty.
It's the worst possible time to strip support from families who need it.
iPhone : I urge Conservative MPs to put party politics aside and vote with Labour tomorrow to stop this hit to millions of people already struggling to get by #Ridge #Cancelthecut
Twitter Web App : After the worst recession of any major economy, now we’re in danger of a devastating double dip.
The Chancellor’s response? A triple hammer blow of council tax rises, benefit cuts and pay freezes.
Labour would act to secure our economy, protect our NHS and rebuild our country.
Twitter Web App : 36 hours since the revelations that the Home Office has ‘lost’ 400,000 police records and still no word from the Home Secretary.
Unacceptable.
iPhone : It’s fantastic to see so many people receiving the vaccine.
Thank you to our amazing NHS staff and all those making it happen. #LetsVaccinateBritain
Twitter Web App : 2020 was an awful year. But this isnt just bad luck, as the prime minister would like us to believe. What were seeing now are the consequences of Boris Johnsons decisions. The slowness. The indecision. The incompetence – Keir Starmer #FEPSFAB21
Twitter Web App : Great to hear from Keir Starmer, Leader The Labour Party as he addresses The Fabian Society FEPS New Year Conference #FEPSFAB21.
Twitter Web App : Really impressed by Keir Starmer discussing the importance of mental health, especially in education. We need to start with education, making sure that young people understand mental health and dont see mental health issues as something to be ashamed of #FEPSFAB21
iPhone : This scandal gets worse.
400,000 records have been deleted.
It seems inevitable that criminals will escape punishment, victims will lose out on justice & communities will be less safe
The Home Secretary has urgent and deeply serious questions to answer

Twitter Web App : This is fantastic news. I met with @UCLH staff this morning to thank them for their tremendous hard work. twitter.com/uclh/status/13…
Twitter Media Studio : The vaccine is the light at the end of tunnel.
The Government needs to match the nation’s ambition with a 24/7 roll-out as quickly as possible.
iPhone : My statement in response to today’s report in The Times that 150,000 arrest records have been deleted by the Home Office. This is an extraordinarily serious security breach and the public deserves immediate answers:
iPhone : This leak exposes the truth about the Government's priorities, which are way out of step with the needs of workers and their families. In the midst of the worst economic crisis in three centuries, ministers are preparing to take a sledgehammer to workers’ rights. (1/3) twitter.com/hendopolis/sta…
Twitter Media Studio : On behalf of The Labour Party, I wish Tamils in the UK and across the world a happy, healthy and bountiful #Pongal. Thai Pongal Valthukkal!
Twitter Web App : Working in Northern Ireland, I saw first-hand the transformation peace helped bring.
The Good Friday Agreement is personal to me - and to Labour.
Proud to launch this programme to tell the story of peace, and why the work to deliver its promise goes on.
Twitter Web App : Commonwealth troops risk their lives to keep us safe yet face huge fees when applying for their hard-won right to citizenship.
It’s unjust and must end.
John Healey MP and I have written today calling for the profit-making fees to be scrapped.

Twitter Web App : Children from the poorest households are 4 times more likely to have serious mental health difficulties than children from the richest households.
We must urgently address the vast chasm of health inequalities across the country.
Twitter Web App : The Vaccine rollout is the only way to end this pandemic, yet the Government have shunned the skills and expertise of community pharmacies.
Keir Starmer is right the Government needs to “match the nation’s ambition” with a 24/7 rollout of jabs.
