Ian Byrne is MP for Liverpool, West Derby

This is a disgrace

📮The government must say NO to @PostOffice plans to close 108 Crown Post Offices 📮

High streets are already struggling, we can't rely on WHSmiths. Where are people supposed to go?

Take back Royal Mail, put it back with the Post Office, NO MORE CUTS

In Parliament today, I told the Foreign Secretary that we need more than the limited action announced today:

* An end to all arms sales to Israel
* ⁠Proper economic sanctions
* ⁠A ban on all illegal settlement goods

Anything less isn’t sufficient.

There's still time to invite your MP to attend our #GlobalMNDAwarenessDay event in Parliament this June!

Club Statement.

I understand why people are cynical about affordable housing. So often it is anything but.

The current definition includes properties charging up to 80% market rates.

Palestinian babies are being starved in plain sight.

Tom Fletcher, the UN's Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, has said 14,000 babies will die in Gaza in the next 48 hours if aid supplies don't reach them.

Thanks very much to @IanByrneMP for meeting with us to discuss the impact of prescription charges on people living with #MND.

On Gaza Tom Fletcher UN emergency relief chief and former senior British diplomat said "There are 14,000 babies that will die in the next 48 hours unless we reach them.... It's chilling. It's utterly chilling". He says mothers are too ill-nourished to feed their babies. He…

It is outrageous and morally reprehensible that it took the world nearly 80 days of broadcast starvation and cruelty amidst genocide to exert enough pressure on Israel to even slightly ease its total siege that has blocked the entry of all food, medicine, fuel and other vital…

What the hell are world ‘leaders’ allowing to happen?

Medics at Gaza’s Indonesian Hospital say they’re under constant bombardment with Israeli quadcopters circling - while British surgeon Tom Potokar, at another hospital, says it’s another ‘day of devastation’

An historic stadium, a place where we have fought against one another and stood with each other. Highs, lows and so many memories.

The end of an era at Goodison Park and the beginning of a new one.

Dan Kay was the type of person that always made others feel like a priority. He was selfless, kind and so generous with his time.

But when he badly needed support, he was let down by the services and the people that were supposed to protect him.

Thanks to everyone able to join me @Aberdare_RFC to celebrate all we achieved during my time as Cynon Valley MP.

We have so much to be proud of with all our fantastic projects, people & places across our beautiful valley.

There's plenty more for us to do. Let's get to it!

A story of grotesque corporate greed and catastrophic failure of regulation. @thameswater is now debt-ridden to the tune of more than £15 billion and has secretly lobbied Whitehall to secure huge bill hikes. Illegal sewage dumping will continue and customers will be ripped off.…

Unless something changes, Britain’s poorest are going to get even poorer year on year on year through the current Parliament
