Great to meet with @greeneking on the launch of their report 'Untapping Potential' and to talk about the work they're doing supporting apprenticeships, increasing coverage of their supported internship scheme, and working with prison leavers including from HMP Risley #PubsAPPG
This was somehow even worse live 🤢
Dominic Raab winking at Angela Rayner in a totally normal way during PMQs
Oh yes, this is good stuff 🔥🍿
@AngelaRayner calls for a General Election at #PMQs.
I know Dominic Raab is a karate black belt and everything - but I’ve got my kung fu pandas on and I’m ready! #PMQs
Last night APT was proud to host an event at @JW3London focusing on misogyny and antisemitism. Thank you to our chair @UJS_PRES and panellists @charlotte2153 @jessphillips and @jemma_levene.
I wasn't expecting tonight's event on misogyny and antisemitism to include a live demonstration of it in action, but it shows why this topic is so timely and important. Brilliant chairing from @UJS_PRES & contributions from @jessphillips, @jemma_levene + @DannyStone1 too!
Tonight at @JW3London , @antisempolicy ran a panel event on misogyny and antisemitism chaired brilliantly by @UJS_PRES alongside @jessphillips @charlotte2153 @jemma_levene who were all exceptional. It was a high level, interesting and sometimes upsetting discussion..and then.. 1/
This was even worse than the time we were locked in a prison cell together… https://twitter.com/carolynharris24/status/1541803089082064898
Wonderfully @wesstreeting and @MPIainDS put on the #MenoVest and experienced just how debilitating hot flushes can be during #Menopause
They make quite the team!
I’m sure they enjoyed me and @twocitiesnickie chewing their ears off!
Thanks to @charlotte2153 for speaking to @paulsaltysalt on @bbcmerseyside this morning about her experience of abortion. We had a big response to this interview, with other women sharing their stories. Listen here 2 hours in:

Charlotte Nichols (@charlotte2153) asking the pertinent questions.
Tories presided over decimation of our nuclear industry.
As we crank up creaking coal plants, the idea of net zero anytime soon is a dead duck.
https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/government-edf-nuclear-power-plant-open-hinkley-point-b-energy-crisis-1707824
This morning I questioned the Secretary of State on the Government's failure to seek an extension to the life of Hinkley Point B, the decommissioning of which will see us lose 1.3GW of clean electricity from our energy mix at the worst possible time.
And at 11am we're questioning Secretary of State for BEIS @KwasiKwarteng

Manchester barrister on strike claims he earned 49p per hour during trial. A colleague was reduced to tears after rallying cry from @Kirsty_Brimelow on the 'broken system' - more on @GranadaReports at 6 https://www.itv.com/news/granada/2022-06-27/barrister-on-strike-claims-he-earned-49p-an-hour-during-trial
The government has admitted it failed to ask EDF to keep the Hinkley Point B nuclear power plant open, despite the ongoing energy crisis. The reactor provides enough electricity to power more than 1.7m homes, but will now shut down this August.

Very happy to get mentioned in Parliament today, as part of a question on rescheduling psilocybin: an urgent cross-party issue, wherein policy is sadly lagging far behind behind evidence! https://twitter.com/charlotte2153/status/1541451730893914114
Today in Qs on the Draft Mental Health Bill, I pushed the Secretary of State to liaise with the Home Office to see psilocybin rescheduled- which would allow further research & options for treatment for conditions including depression, PTSD and anorexia #PsilocybinAccessRights
I was delighted to join pupils from @standrewsorford today on their visit to Parliament!
They had brilliant questions for me on a wide range of topics, and had clearly had fun and learned lots on the programme of activities arranged for them too. Very proud to be their MP 🥰

Amen to this. I had an abortion as a teenager and can probably trace every good thing since back to that decision. I've also lived in the US, and it's devastating to think of all the young women like me denied the opportunities I've had as that choice has been snatched away.
I have had an abortion, I feel no shame or need to explain why. I am not traumatised, I was not a hard case, I was just a woman who had a choice over my own life, my own body, my own family. I am grateful I lived in a family, in a society and a legislature that supported that.
If you want to better understand why it is many Muslims fear Islamophobic abuse and attacks, just take a look at the shameful state of the comments under this post.👇 https://twitter.com/skynews/status/1541102891481563137

💥 NEW legal opinion shows Grants Shapps has “extensive” powers to step in and help resolve the rail dispute.
He needs to stop inflaming tensions and get people around the table to find a fair resolution.

An honour to join the Civic Service at St Elphin's Church for the new @WarringtonMayor Cllr Jean Flaherty!
Thank you to everyone who helped make the service so special, especially the Warrington regimental representatives, Warrington Brass and the Beautiful Noise choir.
That's very kind, thank you 🥰

SUDDEN downpour fails to dampen spirits as sunshine returns at Padgate & Woolston Walking Day #warrington @charlotte2153 @jimhunterphoto https://www.warrington-worldwide.co.uk/2022/06/25/sudden-downpour-fails-to-dampen-spirits-at-padgate-woolston-walking-day/
Great time visiting Crosfields earlier for #ArmedForcesDay
After a two year hiatus, it's been an amazing afternoon with all the community together again for Padgate Walking Day!
All of our schools, faith groups and community groups really did us proud! A big thank you to all the volunteers & everyone who turned out to see the parade ✨
Welcome to Warrington North CLP Damo- delighted to have you join! 🌹
Just applied to join @UKLabour
Voted for them since 1989 when I became eligible but for the 1st time decided to do something about #GTTO #JohnsonOut
Look forward to supporting @WarringtonLab & my local MP @charlotte2153 get re-elected & in getting our country back
Today, on #ArmedForcesDay we thank our Armed Forces for keeping us safe and for their service on the front line.
A Labour government would make sure our veterans get a better deal with fair access to the housing and the services they deserve.
Turns out that not everybody has to accept pay restraint huh
Strong turn out for the Warrington Bank Quay @RMTunion picket line this morning! Lots of supportive honks and waves from the passing public, including ambulances, posties, tradespeople and even a solidarity jingle from an ice-cream van ✊ #ToryRailStrikes
After allowing abortion to be banned in USA by reversing Roe V Wade conservative dominated Supreme Court also gunning for contraception & same sex marriage - appalling https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1540339085230968834
Clarence Thomas writes, in a concurring opinion, that the Supreme Court should reconsider Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell — the rulings that now protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage.
A huge congratulations to @simonlightwood on a very deserved win in Wakefield! I can't wait for him to join us in Westminster next week 🌹
Wakefield's new Labour MP Simon Lightwood wins big in the by-election - 17 per cent ahead of the Conservatives and with almost half the vote

🚨PM hit by a triple blow as he loses both by-elections and @oliverdowden quits as party chair, becoming first cab min to openly criticise PM over Partygate “Our supporters are distressed & disappointed by recent events, & I share their feelings…someone must take responsibility” https://twitter.com/OliverDowden/status/1540191893258207232
My letter of resignation to the Prime Minister.
Yep. We had a debate on #FireAndRehire this in Westminster Hall just last week, and the Government have not only not banned it but don't have any plan to either.
This is an outright lie #BBCQT
https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2022-06-15/debates/D864E21C-3521-4585-93DF-1E737C9D6246/details#contribution-659F0058-A4B3-45FE-BA58-B302F8A322F8
Government's @redditchrachel the under Secretary of State at the Department for Transport just told #BBCQuestionTime that the Tories legislated to prevent #FireandRehire.
That is a lie - they prevented @BarryGardiner Bill to stop Fireandrehire and disgracefully talked it out!
I'm all for railway modernisation to make it safer & more efficient, but job cuts don't do that.
When was the last time a ticket machine talked a suicidal teenager off the platform edge, helped a disabled passenger disembark, or got an abused person to safety? #BBCQT
Hospital workers and rail workers showing solidarity for each other’s picket lines.
This is what we need to win: unity in struggle!
They’re calling it a food bank because it’s a food bank. https://twitter.com/bigissue/status/1540010428503408642
This is the "community pantry" set up in a BT call centre for staff to use when their pay won’t stretch to the end of the month - but staff are calling it a food bank

Out on the Waterloo @RMTunion picket with my mum, her colleagues and @BellRibeiroAddy after I finished in Westminster for the day! Loads of support and solidarity from the public who are feeling the same pressures as the rail workers on strike, across so many different sectors ✊

This Conservative Government’s Bill of Rights con is an attack on women.
It will make it harder for victims of rape to get justice.
But it comes as no surprise from a Govt that has effectively decriminalised rape.
We were delighted to support the APPG on Holocaust Memorial AGM earlier today. The group unanimously re-elected @BobBlackman and @LordIanAustin as the Co-Chairs and heard from Holocaust survivor Mala Tribich MBE.
“Pay rises for City bankers. Pay cuts for district nurses.”
These are the Conservative’s priorities. What a disgrace. #PMQs

People are in so much pain, they are pulling their own teeth out.
DIY dentistry in one of the richest countries on the planet.
The Conservatives’ response is to blame the patients.
This is so far from the original promise of the NHS.
Care must be provided to all who need it.
