My speech to the #SMMTSummit today - http://www.jonathanreynolds.org.uk/2022/06/28/read-my-smmt-keynote-speech/
What an inspirational woman #MinaSmallman is. Such dignity & eloquence on @Channel4News +1 tonight.
During our last @CommonsWorkPen session both @Benj_Barr and @BenBaumberg said the @DWP have a duty of care for vulnerable social security claimants.

Thank you @Debbie_abrahams for your enduring support! I've learnt so much from you and I hope I can take that practical experience with me to become Huddersfield's next Labour MP. 🌹
I asked @Benj_Barr what response he had had from the Government given he’d estimated 600 suicides were associated with #WCAs Watch his response.

This is a lie.
81.5% voted for this action.
There is no “15% pay rise” on offer.
There is no “£7,000 more a year”.
Junior criminal barristers will remain on less than minimum wage.

On my way up to #Glasgow to meet with people who have lived experience of going through the #HealthAssessment process for either #PIP or #ESA as part of the @CommonsWorkPen inquiry
When people talk about viruses becoming 'milder' & endemic, what they don't tell you is 1) this doesn't always happen; 2) if it does happen, it may take decades at least- during which people suffer/die; 3) it can involve natural selection (no points for guessing what that means?)
Fab time with the lovely @AngelaRayner & Ashton CLP comrades earlier followed by a lovely time at #SaddleworthShow as well! Have a great weekend everyone!
I'm not as confident as you that these are challenges the UK will never face. Every aspect of our society has been heavily influenced by our US cousins. As social media expands, still without regulation, we need to remain vigilant. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights #weareallequal
We are lucky to live where we are and recognise our American pro-choice colleagues face challenges we never will. But that’s no invitation to rest on our laurels - rather one to turn the UK into a beacon for women’s rights in pregnancy that influences change around the world.
Under this Tory government, Britain’s growth has ground to a halt.
And they are too distracted by their own failings to deal with it.
Labour has a plan to tackle the cost of living crisis and build a stronger, more secure economy.

On my weekly doorknock in #Greenfield today I met one of our @OldhamFoodbank workers who told me how stretched the #foodbank is. If you're able to, please donate a few items to the @OldhamFoodbank next week. It really makes a difference. @TrussellTrust #CostOfLivingCrisis
I'm so sorry to hear what you're all going through Sharon. I thought @Easyjet were legally obliged to find accommodation for you? https://www.caa.co.uk/passengers/resolving-travel-problems/delays-and-cancellations/cancellations/ Unfortunately you had more protections under the EU...
Sat in Gatwick Airport cancelled flight. No help from easyJet told there are no hotels we have a two day delay. Sat here with 3 children and an elderly mother just getting over cancer, nowhere to go until Monday Absolutely disgusting treatment. @easyjet
Does @sophieraworth know something we don't? 'Obviously the next election will be a general election...' #bbcsundaymorning Watching catch-up btw

Britain’s armed forces are the best in the world — today, on #ArmedForcesDay, we thank both those serving and our veterans for their service.
When International Widows Day is being observed world-wide, Kashmir widows, half-widows continue to bear the brunt of Kashmir conflict.Since 1989 22,944 women were widowed by Indian state terrorism in Kashmir.

Happy International Women in Engineering Day!
I want to pay tribute to all women working in engineering. We need to continue to celebrate each others achievements, as we all work to achieve gender equality in #Engineering @INWED1919 #INWED22

This is a devastating step backwards for women's rights in the United States.
Every woman who needs one should have the right to a safe and legal abortion.
Solidarity with every woman affected by this cruel decision. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-61928898

People have the lowest consumer confidence in 50 years.
This is what happens when an out of touch Tory government increases taxes on working people, squeezes wages, and has no plan to get the economy back on track.

Wakefield’s win will go down in history, @SimonLightwood.
I’m so proud of our Labour Party and the changes we’ve made to be a government in waiting.
GOOD LUCK!

The Department for Work and Pensions ignored leading academics after they published “hugely alarming” research that linked the work capability assessment with 600 suicides in just three years, MPs have been told.

And we all know who that applies to!! 😏
Word of the day (again) is ‘stiffrump’ (18th century): a highly obstinate individual who refuses to budge.
Fantastic result! Congratulations Simon, the magnificent team behind you & the 1000s of volunteers who came out to support you!
Congratulations to @simonlightwood!
The new Labour MP for Wakefield. 🌹
Fab not fsn!!
@smartworksleeds Proud of my lovely daughter for all she's doing & look forward to supporting this fsn event!!
Absolutely brilliant - well done James!!
🥹 ABSOLUTE PROUD DAD MOMENT: No 1 son James is nearing the end of his photography degree at Birmingham. He’s some of his work on display at an amazing exhibition: Free Range, in Brick Ln, London.
I’ve come from the Commons to the special preview night. It’s so, so good!
#Proud
Dearest Sally, I will miss your kindness, your integrity & your friendship. #RIP my dear friend xx

Tomorrow the decision we make in Wakefield will not only give us our voice back in Parliament - but could decide Boris Johnson's future as well.
Tomorrow, let's deliver a fresh start.
LEVEL UP
Tomorrow’s @DailyMirror front page contrasts striking train guard Dave who is lectured to swallow a huge cut in living standards by Boris Johnson and a rail boss earning 20 times as much.
Thousands of holiday flights cancelled.
People unable to renew their passports.
Biggest rail strike in a generation.
The Tories simply aren’t doing their job.
#PMQs
The Tories won't lift a finger to resolve the rail strike this week.
Under their government, passengers lose out.
The Windrush generation helped build Britain.
But the Tories' hostile environment left many homeless, jobless and without healthcare. Victims are still waiting for the justice and compensation they deserve.
Windrush descendent @DavidLammy tells their story. #WindrushDay
Slight increase in UK inflation again last month. Now at 9.1%. This is more than Europe (8.1%) and US (8.6%).

Excellent reception with @RESCUEorg for #RefugeeWeek2022 We were tasked to identify what we'd do if we had to flee our homes because of war, famine or floods & what we'd bring to our new community! @alexsobel got in on the act!! Thanks to the refugees who share their experiences
