When you grow up knowing what unemployment does to people - what it can do to whole towns or cities - that's a reason to be political. It is mine.

Very grateful to @Keir_Starmer for asking me to do this job.

After leaving the NHS on its knees and making Britain sicker, the Tories have decided to...blame the doctors.

This country is crying out for a general election.

A number of constituents have been in touch about the points deduction handed to Everton Football Club by the Premier League.

For years, we've called for an independent football regulator - to manage the game properly.

You can see my question here.

When this contest started, I told Labour Party members that I had been representing my hometown in Parliament for 13 years, and I wanted to continue to do so.

For 13 years, I have represented my hometown.

I am determined to keep fighting for what matters, and what matters to me is the Wirral.

That's why I am asking for your support to become the candidate for the new, bigger Birkenhead constituency

Still bizarre to think that in the face of stress for millions facing winter, Boris Johnson refused to recall Parliament.

Whatever @trussliz cobbles together tomorrow, it's too late to save people the weeks of fear they've already had.

All solidarity to @AngelaRayner. Ridiculous to even think about printing that nonsense.

Since women were elected to the Commons 100 years ago we have been undermined, belittled, and objectified.

I think it is supposed to put us off. Of course it has the opposite effect.

Honestly @kimleadbeater is the bravest of the brave. The very very best of all of us.

People telling me they had already voted for her (by post) this week was so uplifting. She would be a phenomenal voice for Batley and Spen.

Do not give in and do not give up

There is a very good reason why what we need is a proper working social security system for families and not reliance on food parcels and food banks.

#ENDCHILDFOODPOVERTY

Thank you scientists working round the clock. Thank you all those who trialled. Thank you everyone dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge in order to protect others. #vaccine

You don't walk out the front door of no10, carrying a prop, unless you want to be the story. You would need spectacular ego. A thunderously large ego.

Whack-a-mole gone wrong. They say they want to work with us but send out meeting invites minutes before the start. Test results still taking days not hours. Tracing failure despite massive contracts handed out. Merseyside paying the price.

None of this inevitable.

#incompetence

Aside from spreadsheets jokes, seriously, this is what happens when you go after flashy apps and shiny private sector contracts. Rather than the boring but necessary work of recruiting enough competent civil servants to do the data quality assurance.

This was hard to write. But I believe in the magic of sport and this is why.

Thank you @ThisGirlCanUK - you change lives 💪❤

"Don't look back. Look to the future."

Yes @Keir_Starmer. Never give in, never give up, and never look back.

The modernisers are here 💪❤
@UKLabour

Michael Gove to me in June: 'of course, we will always honour the withdrawal agreement'

'Of course'. How could anyone think otherwise

The Tories aren't allowed to announce anything without calling it 'world class' are they? Even if it is self-evidently bang average.

Have been reminded that today is the anniversary of my first speech in the Commons, ten years ago. If someone had told me then what the next ten years would hold...

Women - and supporters of women's sport - have as much right to a #projectrestart as men. We can't just bin women's football this season without a plan. Turns out that 50 year ban is still having an impact on women's chances ⚽️⚽️⚽️

Ten years ago tonight. Polls closed and I had headed home *certain* to lose. Thank you everyone in Wirral South. You have taught me so much. But most of all, never give up.

No. It is due to the location of testing centres - they are too far. Plus lack of private transport because having a car is expensive if you are a care worker or cleaner on minimum wage. If he actually listened he would know this.

Why @MattHancock was wrong about footballers. And why no town should lose its sports club because of #COVID19 - we have to start talking about this now >>>

Just been for a socially-distanced run. Saw 2 nurses getting into a car. As I stopped, we recognised each other. They cared for my Nanna Audrey before she died 9 years ago. I wanted to thank them for all they are doing now. They had an important message. Please help me share >>

Thank you @Keir_Starmer for asking me to lead for @UKLabour on sport. No more important time than during this current crisis. Cannot wait to get started.
