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.

The @gbsumudflotilla is a civilian-led humanitarian mission aiming to deliver aid to Gaza.
A brave constituent of mine joined the latest mission.
The Government should be doing everything in its power to ensure participants safety in the event of any unlawful interceptions.

Too many families in my constituency are struggling financially, while poverty costs the UK around £75bn a year.
Proud to be a founding member of the cross-party Parliamentary Poverty Prevention Caucus, working to prevent poverty - not just manage it.

We have been campaigning for public ownership of rail for years.
It’s wonderful to see that work, alongside those of the rail unions, recognised in parliament today.
Thank you @switherdenMP for working with us.
Our public services should work for us. Not private shareholders.

Every year, thousands of protected animals, including whales, dolphins and seabirds, are killed incidentally by fishing gear.
The Government must work with fishers and environmental NGOs to end the bycatch of marine species.

Quick to build, cheap to run, homegrown, and renewable: clean energy just makes sense.
But we need to learn the lessons of the eighties, where rapid deindustrialisation hollowed communities across the country, and make sure the benefits of the energy transition are felt by all.

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 Trump-style politics entering Downing Street is real.

The privatisation of life’s essentials has been an unmitigated disaster. We must put forward a plan to reverse it.

Watch @switherdenMP set out how vital EU trade is for UK farmers and businesses and the potential benefits a food and drink deal can bring to them and the UK economy.

Today's the day. If you want a local, community-first, socialist candidate representing you in the Senedd, get out and vote for Ian, vote Welsh Labour in Gwynedd Maldwyn.

Why are Reform running advertisements asking Welsh readers to vote in London?
Are they incompetent, or do they just not care about Wales?

Petty, ridiculous, clickbait policymaking - and profoundly authoritarian. To be expected from these chancers. Reform are simply not interested in leading, only dividing. Vote Labour

Great to see you too Andrew and thanks for all your hard work.
A pleasure to catch up with @switherdenMP this afternoon as he was in @Tesco, Cefn Mawr supporting @WrexhamFoodbank. So it was only right to donate 12 cans of Baked Beans to help those in need. Wrexham Foodbank do so much amazing work. Good to see you Steve as always sir :)

She’s absolutely right. This was a vile attack on the Jewish community and an attack on Britain too. Violence against British Jews - and political violence of any kind - has no place here.
“An attack on British Jews in my constituency is an attack on Britain itself.”

Ian, my senior caseworker, would be an excellent Senedd Member. His heart is completely in the right place and he's an incredibly hard worker - I've never had so many late night messages. Gwynedd Maldwyn would be lucky to have him.

I welcome the Government’s announcement to carry the Hillsborough Law into the next Parliamentary session, which means we can keep fighting to implement the Hillsborough Law in full.
Ministers must now end the delays and deliver the law in full - and end the damaging media briefings during this process.
