Diana Johnson DBE MP 🇬🇧🇺🇦🌈

We inherited an immigration system in chaos. In the past year we've made progress removing foreign criminals, cutting the asylum backlog and clamping down on illegal working. Further Government action to strengthen UK border security is being opposed by the Tories and Reform.

On 18 June 1984, the violent clashes at Orgreave and the discredited evidence that followed left lasting scars on the community. This autumn, a public inquiry will begin to uncover the truth, holding those responsible to account and helping to restore confidence in policing.

Anyone using Hull Paragon Station today should be aware of this. However, I suspect that they would prefer not to have cause to complain in the first place.

This would be inconceivable and simply not tolerated at the London end of the rail route to Hull.

What the Shadow Home Secretary fails to mention here is that of the 1,316 decline in officer numbers since 31 March 2024, 94% of them were cut by June of last year. This was under the previous Government - when he was the Policing Minister.

Questions about the events in 1984 at Orgreave have gone unanswered for too long, undermining trust in our police service - especially in former coalfield communities. To help restore this trust, the @UKLabour Government is launching a Statutory Inquiry to finally get answers.

NEW: Clampdown on delivery riders sharing accounts with migrants living in asylum accommodation. Enhanced data sharing means delivery companies will be provided asylum accommodation locations to crack down on riders sharing accounts with migrants working illegally in the UK.

Congratulations @Lionesses 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 What a result! On to the final. We’re all behind you. #WEURO2025

The impact of knife crime is a heavy burden to carry. A future never had, a dream never fulfilled, a life never lived. If you carry a knife, you will carry the sentence. Surrender your weapons now before it is too late 👇

Was in the Commons Chamber this evening to hear @NickTorfaen update MPs on further changes to the compensation scheme for those infected and affected in the contaminated blood scandal of the 1970s and 1980s. This follows the most recent recommendations of the @bloodinquiry.

We cannot allow tomorrow’s retirees to be poorer than today’s - which is what we are on track for. So we are reviving the Pensions Commission to set Britain on a different course gov.uk/government/new…

Promise made. Promise delivered. This Labour government is establishing an inquiry into the violent confrontation between police and picketers at Orgreave.

These sanctions send a clear message to Russia. Attempts to conduct malicious cyber activity against the UK will not be tolerated. Along with our international partners, we work constantly to counter these cyber-attacks and bolster our resilience.

It was a pleasure to visit the @TheMatchgirls exhibition in Parliament this week. Just like Hull's @headscarfpride revolutionaries, these women changed the course of history.
