137 years ago this week, 1400 young women and girls walked out of the Bryant & May factory in Bow, in a fight for their rights at work - pushing back against poverty, disease and exploitation. Their strike sparked the modern trade union movement in Britain Tonight in…

Farage says Epping far-right hotel rioters were "genuinely concerned families". Here are the "families" he was referring to.

💈Whether you want a trim, flowers or to escape the sun (& rain) with delicious food – Roman Road has got it all! I loved talking to Bow's brilliant traders about what this @UKLabour Govt is doing for them 🌹We’re helping our high streets to thrive, deliver jobs and investment

Parliament is now in summer recess - but the work continues. My office remains open, and my team will continue hard for Stratford and Bow throughout the summer. It’s been a busy first year in Westminster, with so much already delivered and so much more to do. 👉 Keep getting…

The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood. There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.

I’ve joined 90+ MPs in calling on major social media companies to take urgent action on the vile racism and misogyny directed at Jess Carter.   Online racist abuse isn’t free speech - it’s a failure of platform responsibility.   It runs rampant on here and other platforms. It’s…

Each time we stand up in this House to question the Foreign Secretary there is a new horror in Gaza unfolding. I welcome increased humanitarian funding from the UK Government. But the situation on the ground is barbaric. Yesterday I asked, where is this Government’s red line?…

This is the biggest overhaul of the water sector in a generation.    My government will abolish Ofwat and establish a single powerful regulator to prevent water pollution and protect families from bill hikes.      Ending the chaos of the past.     Delivering for working people.

Tragic news. My thoughts are with all those affected. Residents have long been raising the issue of speeding cars along this road and I’ve raised it with the council and Borough’s police team. We will be asking what changes are going to be in place as a result of this sad…

The Tories did nothing as water companies dumped filth into our rivers, lakes, and seas.     My Labour government launched the largest criminal action against polluting water companies in history and banned unfair bosses' bonuses.     And we will cut sewage pollution in half.

UNRWA has enough food for the entire population of #Gaza for over three months stockpiled in warehouses–including this one in Al Arish, Egypt–awaiting entry. The supplies are available. The systems are in place. Open the gates, lift the siege, allow UNRWA to do its work and…
