Great to trade shirts ahead of the game today 🏴🇮🇪
Sorry about the score @SimonHarrisTD!
Thoughts for a few @UKLabour
MPs:
1. You WILL get lots of mail on contentious issues. BUT, reasonable people respect you when you disagree with them, if you make the case - like a £22bn deficit
2. When journos call for comment, its not always to be helpful
Just setting off for the first in-person meeting of @SELabour Regional Executive since the @UKLabour landslide.
Great position for the party to be in, but much to do...
✅ A proud moment delivering my maiden speech to Parliament
Whilst Stratford & Bow is a new constituency, its history is old and rich.
Home to Suffragettes, titans of the Labour movement, NHS founders, legendary Grime artists, Pearly Kings & Queens & a rich tapestry of cultures
My warmest congratulations to my predecessor and true champion of Derby, Baroness Margaret Beckett on her induction to the House of Lords.
I have no doubt she will continue her lifelong work of formidable service and dedication to our country.
