Chag Sameach!
This evening is the start of Jewish holiday Tu B'Shevat, also known as "New Year of the Trees".
To many, this day is a way to be reminded of the duty to care for the natural world.
Delighted I was able to plant trees this weekend to remind myself of the same!

It was great to join the @ProjectOrchard in planting a fruit orchard at the @1BMHC today.
Orchards not only provide us with fruit, but they are a haven for pollinators and bees.
Thank you to everyone who came out to plant trees and support biodiversity in Whalley Range.

Tackling domestic abuse is everyone's responsibility.

It was great to meet with Unison alongside other MPs to celebrate the fantastic work Environment Agency workers do. They are key in keeping us and our environment safe, as well as vital in reaching Net Zero by 2050.

This week, another young life was sadly taken from us due to knife crime.
I've written to the Chief Constable, Stephen Watson, to ask for a meeting to discuss @gmpolice's strategy, and how they can more work with partners, parents and young people to prevent another tragedy. 👇🏾

Thank you to my friend Luke Pollard MP for raising the issue of bee-killing pesticides today.
The Tories have continued to allow harmful pesticides to be used, disregarding the harm it does to bees, pollinators, and our waterways. Watch my intervention here 👇

A Labour government will deliver free breakfast clubs for every primary school in England and train a new generation of doctors and nurses to treat patients on time again.
We’ll pay for this by abolishing non-dom tax status.
If you live here, you should pay your taxes here.

RT @SteveReedMP: Absolutely staggering claim that, under the Conservatives, probation officers are under pressure to reduce offenders’ risk rating before release - putting the public in danger. Labour would stop this immediately and put public safety first

This afternoon I met with ambulance workers in @GMB_union taking industrial action. I am proud to be a member of a union that supports our frontline workers.
The truth is that the Tories' are letting our NHS heroes and patients down.
They deserve better.
