The Inspectorate is right to demand reform from the Metropolitan Police & to set higher standards for the new Commissioner - something that Labour, the Mayor of London & London residents have been calling for for some time.

Always a proud moment for a writer as the cover of my new book āHarold Wilson: The Winnerā is unveiled.
Looking forward to release on 1 Sept.
Hereās me with @IainDale on Wilsonās amazing life-from a modest background to youngest Cabinet Minister & PM.

Ministers have been slow to give Friendly Societies the Whitehall & Parliamentary support for the legal reforms they need to drive significant expansion. The Government must support @markhendrickmp 's Bill & require all public bodies to promote Credit unions going forward.
Thank you to @PromoVeritas for a welcoming & fascinating visit to meet their founder Jeremy, senior management and staff. Skilled in business promotions theyāve enjoyed remarkable growth. We talked trade, brexit, business rates, electric charging points and much, much more.
We sat down with Labour MP for Harrow West, @GarethThomasMP to discuss the vital role of credit unions in building resilience in the face of rising energy and living costs! š£

15 years since Sir Tony Blair left office. Britainās economy was strong. Satisfaction levels with the NHS were at record highs. Educational attainment was improving. Crime was falling. Inequality was narrowing. A time when people felt proud to be British.
@Headstone32 @sasi_suresh @TashaProctor @GarethThomasMP We went to the original āconsultationā last month, and have been talking with local residents, Harrow Carers and the Council planning team about this. The site is designated as Open Space and in my view should be protected as such. Will be there on Wednesday.
Earlier this evening I met with residents in central Harrow & Wealdstone to talk crime (catalytic converter theft, drugs & anti-social behaviour), street lighting, flytipping, CCTV and much more; all underlining the need for a dedicated @metpoliceuk team for central Harrow!
āSerious questions for ā¦@trusslizā© , the @FCDO & our Embassy; when did they become aware there might be problems and what are they doing to help British Muslims complete the Hajj safely or at least get their money back? @MCB ā¦@miqdaadā© https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/27/british-muslims-stranded-saudi-arabia-hajj-booking-system-motawif?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
Under the Tories, your bills and taxes have risen to historic highs.
Labour has a plan to take on the Tory cost of living crisis and build a stronger economy.
The Ocean is the primary regulator of global climate & holds the key to a sustainable planet. This week the UNās #OceanConference seek cooperation to reduce marine pollution, protect & restore ecosystems, & enable sustainable fishing. I hope our Govāt will take this seriously.
My local MP @GarethThomasMP asks for support for British Muslims about Hajj matters, and faces a barrage of Islamophobia

Do @HAConservatives think it's appropriate for one of its councillors to respond like this to swastika image being posted to mock the LGBT community? Or at all for that matter.
@MGoodwinFreeman
any comment on your ward colleague?
Won't post the full image, but you can find it.
Tomorrow with sisters in UK parliament we will seek ways to assist with tragedy awaiting US women. In UK abortion rights have progressed but in almost all of UK, a woman's right to choose as I have done each time I was pregnant is still written in criminal law. This must change.
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.

This is a government that lets rapists off, and lets victims down.
https://twitter.com/elliereeves/status/1539672404825411588?s=21&t=0ug3gR9CUTAEbDXkG8QyNQ
This Conservative Governmentās 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.

Under the Conservatives, working people are facing a nightmare summer of travel chaos.
What exactly is the point of a Transport Secretary of State who wonāt have talks to avert rail strikes and who wonāt fight for airline consumers facing yet more cancelled flights, lost baggage and extra costs? ā¦@grantshappsā© https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/jun/20/easyjet-cut-flights-summer-holidays-london-gatwick?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
Still amazing that @grantshapps & @BorisJohnson havenāt sat down for talks but instead have sought to fan the flames so they can blame everyone elseā¦
Britain is facing the biggest rail strike in a generation but @GrantShapps hasnāt spent a single second in talks to avert it since March.
Time is running out. The Tories must get round the table and sort this out.
