After the murder of 2 MPs & attempted murder of another, plus various attacks against MP staff members this tweet about shooting MPs is sickening @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour
@lmharpin I'm a lifelong Labour supporter in a marginal 'Red Wall' constituency, but I'm afraid I can't bring myself to vote Labour unless Starmer has these MPs shot at dawn
We are delighted to announce that we have been given a grant by @MerseysideRWA to help continue to reduce, reuse and recycle. Our first event is next Sunday when we will have a vintage clothes sale.
Thank you to @MayorLpool who alerted us to the funding opportunity in February!
Government lectures the @RMTunion on accepting modernisation and digital technology.
The same Government refuses to modernise and use digital technology, instead forcing MPs to travel the length of the country to vote in a 900 year old palace.
One rule for them.
Fantastic show of support for @RMTunion at Lime St today.
Victory to the rail workers!
Fantastic support for @RMTunion at Liverpool Lime Street & in my own constituency. Great to be out with members of @WavertreeCLP & friends @KimJohnsonMP @IanByrneMP @DanCardenMP
Supporting the @RMT action at #LimeStreet today with @PaulaBarkerMP
Beautiful service @LiverpoolParish this morning led by Dr Crispin Pailing, Rector of Liverpool to commemorate #ArmedForcesDay2022 With my good friend @KimJohnsonMP
Standing in solidarity with striking workers today.
And every day.
#RailStrikes
Today on #ArmedForcesDay, we celebrate the special service our UK Forces personnel, veterans, and their families give to our country.
From helping Britain through Covid to keeping us safe and protecting our NATO allies, Labour is deeply proud of you. Thank you.
Britain’s armed forces are the best in the world — today, on #ArmedForcesDay, we thank both those serving and our veterans for their service.
This week my team & I had the pleasure of having students Amelia & Megan from @abblanchschool on work experience in the office. Both young women have been a credit to themselves, the school & their families. Thank you so much for your hard work. Look forward to seeing you soon.
A huge thanks to all our new volunteers at the Foodbank my team & I run on Friday afternoons in Wavertree with our partners @TrussellTrust All the volunteers are members of @WavertreeCLP & are looking forward to getting more involved.
It was great to catch up with Tom Harrison, CEO of @LocalSolutions_ & discuss the ambitious plans they have. I look forward to our continued partnership working.
@PaulaBarkerMP It’s mind boggling g that the state should stay out of gun ownership but can interfere and prevent women protecting and making choices for their bodies. #guncontrol v #AbortionRightsAreHumanRights #RoeVsWade
This is devastating news for American women who should have a right to choose what happens to their bodies. It fundamentally sets back womens rights & I sincerely hope that this won’t be the final word on this issue. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-61928898
The overturning of Roe v Wade is a major and deeply upsetting setback for women. It sends a message that a woman’s reproductive rights – which are fundamental to their physical, psychological and social wellbeing – are not worth protecting.
#RoeVsWade
On Wednesday, the Daily Mail printed a photo of me on this nasty anti-worker front page.
They’ve now agreed to pay just short of £1,000 for using the photo.
I’ll be sending that money from the Mail straight to the @RMTunion strike-fund.
Victory to the rail workers ✊🏽
Congratulations to @simonlightwood!
The new Labour MP for Wakefield. 🌹
Best of luck Simon!
Polls are now closed!
Thank you to everyone who has supported me.
Well done Y4. This sounds and looks fabulous. @year4phoenix https://twitter.com/year4phoenix/status/1540055595969044485
We designed our own healing hands for #RefugeeWeek2022
BREAKING: Outsourced workers at @LSHTM have voted UNANIMOUSLY to strike over pay, following union victimisation.
40 days before in-housing, LSHTM still refuses to negotiate with IWGB, despite representing the majority of workers.

Great support at Edge Hill depot from @RMTunion members and @PaulaBarkerMP #RMTsolidarity #RailStrikes
New celebrity guest joining the team. I mean @Lisa_JTweets not @lisanandy obviously. Another hour to vote for @simonlightwood! #VoteLabour
This opens tomorrow for @unisontheunion members 👍
2LH were fantastic practising their throwing skills in the sunshine today🎾
Thank you for attending our ‘Come Read With Me’ session yesterday afternoon! It was so nice to see the children reading their favourite books with their grown ups☺️
UPDATE: he failed to do it.
These useless Conservative Ministers can’t even make their own dangerous and unworkable legislation run on time.
Let’s hope they are rethinking this recipe for disaster, which is opposed by business leaders as much as unions. https://twitter.com/KwasiKwarteng/status/1539847978235711488
Today, I will table legislation that will give employers the freedom to recruit skilled, temporary staff to plug vital roles during strike action.
This new law will help protect the British public from future disruption caused by militant trade unions👇🏿

I'm a very experienced A&E nurse and my wage is so low that as a widowed single parent I also receive universal credit.
So don't you dare use the fact that as a life saver, I've been undervalued by government as an excuse to bash the #RMTstrikes !
They are paving the way for me.
Turning worker against worker is just part and parcel of this Tory governments playbook.
They want us kept busy fighting each other for scraps whilst they bleed the nation dry.
We see you for what you are.

Despite the efforts of militant union leaders, they cannot bring our country to a standstill.
That's why we're changing the law today, meaning any future strikes will cause less disruption and allow adaptable, flexible, fully skilled staff to continue working throughout. https://twitter.com/beisgovuk/status/1539850782111055872
#LFC has launched a new mental health toolkit, which offers further support to fans suffering the ongoing effects of the events surrounding the Champions League final ⤵️

Did you know this horrid Conservative government are closing Toxteth Jobcentre? The impact will be extremely detrimental to a significant part of our community & @WavertreeCLP.
Follow @pcsdwpLiverpool to learn more and use #savetoxtethjobcentre to show support! https://twitter.com/pcsdwpLiverpool/status/1540003054044454912
The Jobcentre must remain in this community #savetoxtethjobcentre
I wonder if this also correlates to the phrase “Mick Lynch” who has demonstrated the utmost integrity & leadership this week @RMTunion There’s strength in a union & I’m delighted to see so many people have been awakened to this #JoinAUnion
NEW🚨: Google searches for 'join union' have increased by 184% in the last week.

“Giving businesses freedom to access temporary workers.”
Isn’t that practice exactly what you and your lying, cheating Prime Minister condemned @POferries over, only three months ago?
You’re a disgraceful hypocrite, @KwasiKwarteng. https://twitter.com/KwasiKwarteng/status/1539847978235711488

Proud to again join striking rail workers on the picket this morning in Liverpool.
They’re leading the fight back against the attack on jobs, wages and conditions at a time when profits are soaring and working people are being squeezed.
Solidarity with the @RMTunion ✊🏽
We @Kuumba_Imani @L8abetterplace are super excited that we are only 2 days away from our #CelebrateL8 event over 35 community orgs, 6 cultural caterers and many super performances under one roof @FireFitHub 25th June 2022
It was great to spend part of my afternoon at @AsylumLink to help mark #RefugeeWeek2022 at their BBQ.
Great company, music and food at this wonderful place. They also had NHS staff and volunteers at hand to administer #Covidvaccination to anyone who wanted one.
Solidarity with striking rail workers on their second day of industrial action.
Fighting for job security and a pay rise that deals with the cost of living crisis. ✊
This week I'm proud to support #CervicalScreeningAwarenessWeek!
Cervical screening (smear tests) can save lives, but 1 in 3 do not attend when invited.
If you have any questions or concerns, @JoTrust have information, tips, and support for you!”
This exposes the Government lie that they can't get involved to settle the dispute and avoid disruption.
They are interfering to escalate the dispute, but haven't lifted a finger to settle it.
Support the @RMTunion and these key workers tomorrow.
EXC
Sky News understands ministers asked Train Operating Companies to report back on the customer / operational impact of banning rest day work & overtime over the strike period
Ministers want to stop strikers topping up salaries to make up for strike days when they aren’t paid
I have written to @NadineDorries tonight with my colleagues asking for an urgent meeting on the events around Paris and for the British government to back our demands for a full apology and independent investigation by the French authorities and @UEFA
☀️On the Labour campaign trail in Wakefield for Simon Lightwood with @NavPMishra & @JudithCummins today.
Vote Labour on Thursday 23 June to give Wakefield a fresh start🌹
#WinningWakefield #LabourDoorstep #GOTV
If the last few days of Mick Lynch media smack downs have made you think "I want to buy him a pint" - go one better.
Throw in the cost of a pint to the @RMTunion dispute fund, used to financially support the strikers. It's what Mick wants.

MoD figures revealed by Labour and published in the Times this week, show that ministers have allowed the backlog of applications to reach 23 000 after they cut the number of staff working on the scheme by a quarter since December https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/mod-processes-only-two-of-3-000-refugee-applications-from-afghans-since-april-cjx6k96zv
Britain has a moral duty to help those Afghans who supported UK Forces in Afghanistan. But ministers have confirmed just 2 ARAP applications have been processed since April.
I've written to the Defence Secretary to ask why this scheme's been neglected and ground to a halt.
I would like to thank @lpoolcouncil for agreeing to light up council buildings tonight in honour of Windrush Day, when the first Caribbean citizens responded to the call to rebuild post-WW2 Britain, faced appalling racism while doing do, but contributed so much #WindrushDay2022
Proud to join with my CLP to celebrate #WindrushDay2022 & remember the contribution those proud men & women made to our country.
#Windrushgeneration arrived 74 years ago today.
We at @WavertreeCLP take time today, and everyday, to celebrate the role they played in rebuilding Britain after WW2 and continue to fight the injustices they face. ❤️
