Young people should not be priced out of education, employment or training. That is why Labour is making is transport more affordable for 16 to 18-year-olds.

Last week I spoke to Hits Radio about a letter I signed regarding the early release of prisoners. I am pleased the PM has paused the early release of prisoners, but it is a deep shame and failing that this was ever on the table. (1/3)

I am pleased to hear the Prime Minister has decided to pause the early release of prisoners. We should be looking to release those still serving unjust IPP sentences, not releasing dangerous criminals who have not served their time.

Great campaign session out on the doors in Cale Green talking to residents about Bev Craig's Mayoral campaign. Thank you to everyone who made time for us.🌹 💻 bevformayor.co.uk

Last week it was a privilege to join my good friend Mary Kelly Foy MP to support her in her campaign for everyone to check their breasts. The work Mary does is phenomenal & I would urge everyone, women & men to check their breasts regularly so we can beat breast cancer together.
