Standards falling across government with a Prime Minister who never sticks to the rules.
Yesterday the Policing Minister made cheap political attacks and broke parliamentary convention, because he has nothing to say about rising crime and falling convictions.
Great to see so many male colleagues taking part in this initiative this week 👏🏻👏🏻 #menopause
Thanks to @overthebmoon for coming to Parliament to raise awareness of some of the issues women face during the #menopause.
The MenoVest simulated the sudden creep of heat that many women experience. 67% say their mood is negatively impacted by menopausal symptoms.
I just can’t unsee it 🫣
What a great read and blue print for our towns #TheEconomicsOfBeingNice from @chrissands100 and the #TotallyLocally gang.
(Love the take on Calderdale’s weather!)
In response to my written question, Minister says we have coordinated with allies inc. Canada on sanctions, but will not say if we have asked for their evidence given they have sanctioned Alexander Lebedev, nor an explanation as to why we still haven't if that is the case?
Our research alongside @WYpartnership is helping to drive a trauma informed response to serious violence in West Yorkshire 👇👇

Yesterday I responded for @UKLabour in the Westminster Hall debate on the Rights of Children in Police Custody. It was good to share some of the research undertaken by @wy_vru on the relationship between young people and violence, in order to protect both them and the public.

Without a shadow of doubt @thepiecehall in heavenly Halifax should be one of Britain’s most famous buildings https://twitter.com/hollylynch5/status/1540823102300602368
Another incredible night at @ThePieceHall thanks to @nilerodgers!!!
All credit to the incredible Lissie Harper for her powerful campaign to see #HarpersLaw become a reality. It was an honour to see her again today in Parliament.
If there’s a music venue of the year award then @ThePieceHall wins hands down. Halifax having its own Glasto with Noel Gallagher, Nile Rodgers, Pete Tong, Paul Weller, Paloma Faith and Duran Duran appearing in the space of a fortnight. Incredible. 💪❤️👌
Halifax is rocking xxx https://twitter.com/thepiecehall/status/1541183930522636295
Halifax was bouncing tonight! Another amazing night thanks to @petetong & the @HeritageOrc conducted by @julesbuckley and support @Orbinfo 🙌
Good times. Thank you for the music, sir. https://twitter.com/nilerodgers/status/1540826230462742528
@ThePieceHall What can I say but thank you #halifax for the #love. Another unforgettable #night of great #vibes
Another incredible night at @ThePieceHall thanks to @nilerodgers!!!
And we’re off @ThePieceHall!!!
Lol Dominic Raab saying they are focused on crime fighting which is a weird focus because crime is up 18% and charging and conviction is down 18%. Not the go to I'd think if you are claiming to be good on delivery.
Restricting women’s access to safe and legal abortion puts women’s lives and safety at risk.
As Labour’s Health Secretary, I will always support a woman’s right to choose.
Solidarity with women across the USA fighting back. https://twitter.com/ewarren/status/1540345157282922496
In the face of this dark post-Roe reality, I have three words: Hold onto hope. Do not give into despair. Here’s how I’m staying in the fight:
Thank you to the brave men and women of our Armed Forces on #ArmedForcesDay2022
Thinking of our local veterans and of the incredible members of the @YORKS_REGT I’ve had the privilege of meeting in particular. Halifax is so proud of its Armed Forces connections.
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.
Such sad news, Harry was such a familiar face to everyone in Yorkshire. Thinking of Harry’s family and all those he worked with at @BBCLookNorth.
Our much loved friend and colleague Harry Gration died suddenly today. We are absolutely heartbroken to give you this news.
Tonight our hearts go out to Harry's wife Helen, their children and all of Harry's family and friends.

Thanks to @TogetherHousing and partners from @Calderdale for showing me around the 83 new homes built at Abbey Park in Illingworth. The development is a mix of 42 3-bedroom houses, 33 2-bedroom houses and 8 2-bedroom bungalows. Quality and affordable housing for North Halifax.
Absolutely delighted for Wakefield and for Simon! You’ve got a great MP there 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Congratulations to @simonlightwood!
The new Labour MP for Wakefield. 🌹

Final push in Wakefield tonight for @simonlightwood - good luck Simon! You’re going to smash it!! ✊🏻🌹 #WinningWakefield
Today is the day for our West Yorkshire neighbours in Wakefield! I’ve known Simon Lightwood a long time and you could not have a more genuine, hardworking, caring man on the ballot paper for Labour. Vote for the best candidate for Wakefield, vote for better for the country.

Brilliant to be at @labourforces reception with Shadow Secretary of State for Defence @JohnHealey_MP, @HollyLynch5 & many @UKLabour colleagues. Great atmosphere & so important to recognise the service & commitment of our brave Armed Forces Personnel #ArmedForcesWeek
Massive well done to Haaris and Eesaa from @HalifaxAcademy_ for their presentation at the national final of the #SolutionsForThePlanet’s Big Ideas Programme in Parliament today!
"They've been asleep at the wheel for 12 years," says Shadow Health Sec @wesstreeting MP.
❌DIY dentistry that belongs in the Victorian era
❌ 2-year waiting lists
❌An exodus of dentists from the NHS
For the sake of millions, Ministers must do more than tweak a broken system
It has become almost impossible to see an NHS dentist under this Government. The contract system has broken NHS dentistry, forcing dentists out of the NHS, leaving adults and children unable to get the treatment they need. I ask to Minister to please, please fix it:
An absolute demolition job on the Conservative record on access to Dentists in West Yorkshire from my Bradford East neighbour @Imran_HussainMP in the chamber just now.
So pleased to see local veteran reunited with his stolen RAF beret. Great work 👏🏻👏🏻
A story with a happy ending - well done @WYP_Halifax @WYP_CldrValleys

I’ve never known a Government so keen to rub salt in the wounds of ordinary working people as this one.
Key workers told to tighten their belts.
City executives told to help themselves.
Britain deserves better.
.@HollyLynch5 forensically questions @DamianHinds. “Canada have recently announced sanctions against Alexander Lebedev. I've asked the Govt this question 6 times. Did the PM meet with Lebedev during the Salisbury poisonings in April 2018?
Canada has sanctioned Alexander Lebedev on a list of 14 people it says has ‘directly enabled Putin’s senseless war in Ukraine.’
At today’s Home Office Qs, I ask for the 7th time, did Boris Johnson meet with him without officials, during the Salisbury poisoning? No answer.
There’s always something special going on at the @thoughtfulspots! Amazing to meet Sarah Stone, author of local masterpiece #TheDragonsofWainhouseTower this morning 🎈
What a brilliant morning we had with Sarah Stone and her Dragons of Wainhouse Tower books. Lots of Thoughtful friends reading and doing crafts, including Holly Lynch and her family who we always love to see #HollyLynch5 🎈
This year’s amazing mugs and prints are ready to go for gig season @CustardCreate at @ThePieceHall!
PLS RT! The @thepiecehall gigs start this weekend!! We now have stock of our commemorative mugs, prints and framed artwork in store, please DM us to order if you can't get in! #thepiecehall #thepiecehallhalifax #piecehall #piecehallconcerts
An inspirational evening at the #WYPAwards22. A privilege to present the award for Special Constable of the Year award and meet Jade Craven from Calderdale, nominated for the Student Officer of the Year award.
So impressed to see how @NewRoad_Halifax have incorporated @ActiveCdale principles into everything they do. From excelling at girls football to family fitness sessions after school. Great work 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks to to @HollyLynch5 & @hebdensnapper Cllr Courtney for attending @NewRoad_Halifax Active School Learning Walk, showcasing how they are getting physical activity into EVERY part of the school day & beyond
@ActiveCdale #CalderdaleActiveSchools #Trailblazer
Looking forward to this 👇🏻

Samuel Webster founded Webster's Brewery in 1838 from Halifax’s very own, Fountain Head Pub and Brewery.
It’s been a pleasure to talk through plans for the pub to be owned by the community with Dave this morning.
A lovely visit to #TheLittleBoxCompany this morning who provide messy play opportunities for children 0-12, to discuss how the energy crisis is affecting both them, and their customers. Do pay them a visit at Asquith Bottom Mill in SB with your little ones. More info on Facebook!
Thank you to all those schools who took part in the competition to design @ThePieceHall’s new Jubilee plaque. Some stunning designs!
11-year-old Halifax school pupil announced as winner of Jubilee plaque competition | Halifax Courier https://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/people/11-year-old-halifax-school-pupil-announced-as-winner-of-jubilee-plaque-competition-3732799
Congratulations @Vernon_Coaker. What a fitting tribute after your years of dedicated public service. It’s an honour to continue working with you in Labour’s Home Affairs team.
Congratulations @Vernon_Coaker on being conferred the distinction of Honorary Freeman of Gedling Borough.
The Borough’s highest award bestowed on one of its most distinguished & finest public servants.
Thank you for a lifetime dedicated to Gedling. You’re an example to us all.
We are forever grateful for their bravery. Absolute heroes.
6 years ago, following the shocking murder of Jo Cox MP, two of our colleagues ran towards danger. Their selfless act secured the swift arrest of the offender (his name deserves no mention here); and they safeguarded the public of West Yorkshire. @WestYorksPolFed @WYPFViceChair
I’ve always felt the photos of Jo doing the charity Tug of War captured her so well.
Working with others from across the benches, full of fun but still giving it absolutely everything.
Today and always; “We have far more in common than that which divides us”
It was really good to see @HOT_CEO_Halifax Alison Haskins in Parliament this week with the @right_hereUK campaign, showcasing the even greater potential of organisations like @HalifaxOppTrust if we can empower them further.
This Government is presiding over #BacklogBritain
At the worst possible time, the costs for Home Office failure are being passed on to families desperate to have their passports processed. Ministers must deliver better.
The @Conservatives’ have manufactured a row on their Rwanda plan that they know is unethical, unworkable and extortionate as a distraction.
This Government has turned its back on solutions and abandoned all decency and common sense.
This government is presiding over backlog Britain says @HollyLynch5 the government must apologise
There is no point in Govt blaming anyone else but themselves.
Ministers are pursuing a policy they know isn’t workable & that won’t tackle criminal gangs.
But they still paid Rwanda £120m & hired a jet that hasn’t taken off because they just want a row & someone else to blame.
Unbelievable that this needs to be said.
⚖️Following the Prime Minister’s comments today, the Bar Council and Law Society of England and Wales issued the following joint statement 1/5
Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper absolutely tore the appalling Rwanda plan to bits in the Commons today. This is the Government at its very worst.
The Government is pushing ahead with Rwanda policy that is completely unworkable, deeply unethical, extortionately expensive, profoundly un-British, and which risks making dangerous people trafficking & smuggling worse. /1
