Kate Hollern is MP for Blackburn

Standing Together steps up again to send volunteers to protect the aid convoys from these goons. I could not love or admire them more.

I know the difference Labour can make.

It’s time for change.

These are our first steps…

This is why Rishi Sunak’s £46 billion unfunded spending commitment puts your state pension and our NHS at risk 👇

The Tories fail pensioners.

Last night a serving probation officer called my @LBC show to say he and his colleagues laughed out loud when they heard Rishi Sunak claim that violent offenders won’t be released from prison early. Why? Because they had in front of them a list of domestic abusers set to be

Does anyone believe this privatised water model is working?

@David__Osland @0Calamity Never heard of a foodbank until recent years under the TorLies 🤔

Jeremy Hunt should:

- start to upskill 1m low-paid workers
- Support  a coalition of charities, corporations and govt  to finance local amenities

Today’s ONS figures show that in the last 3 months:

⬆ Unemployment up 166,000
⬆ Youth unemployment up 59,000
⬇ Employment fell by 178,000
⬇ Job vacancies fell by 26,000
