Pleased to sponsor the launch of this report in Parliament.
Solar energy is hugely important in tackling climate change, but the solar supply chain is linked to forced labour amongst Uyghur Muslims. It's important the UK builds a green & resilient solar supply chain.

RT by @Afzal4Gorton: The Paymaster General has suggested stripping some older people of the Winter Fuel Payment.

I’ve written to the Chancellor asking him to clarify whether he is considering this for the Autumn Statement.

Pensioners mustn’t be forced to bear the brunt of Tory economic failure.

18 years ago, I co-founded the Muslim-Jewish Forum of Greater Manchester with the aim of doing just that and I am incredibly proud of what the forum has achieved so far.

Today I hosted a Mini COP28 event for primary school children.
We discussed the importance of tackling the climate crisis and what can be done locally, nationally, and internationally - just as it will be done at COP28 soon.
Thank you to all participants! ♻️ 🦊 🌍

Today, I will be voting for the motion calling on the UK Govt to support a

If we had a ceasefire yesterday, 144 Gazan children would still be alive today.
History has shown us that military actions alone cannot resolve conflicts. Israel’s use of force will not resolve this one.
We need a full and immediate

RT by @Afzal4Gorton: Liz Truss has issued her latest demands for unfunded tax cuts, to the delight of many Tory MPs.

But working people can’t afford more fantasy Tory economics.

I've written to the PM asking him to clarify whether he supports these unfunded measures, worth an eye-watering £81.7bn.

Great to visit the port of Inningham with

With 17% of all UK trade passing through Humber ports, it's clear Inningham &amp; ports around the UK need a bold trade strategy to thrive.
Labour is the only pro-business, pro-trade and pro-worker party that can deliver this.
