After nineteen years in parliament, I am announcing my retirement as MP for West Bromwich West. I would like to thank my constituents for electing me to represent them on six occasions. It has been the privilege of my life to have served. https://t.co/jqXkGpNVcw
The government’s unfunded spending commitments show why it is the Conservatives, not Labour, that cannot be trusted with the public finances. My response to the #QueensSpeech: https://t.co/vSDKIBVQgB
Congratulations to @Q3Tipton for being awarded #BeaconSchool status by @UCL_Holocaust. Wishing Lead Teacher, Ms Jones, the best ahead of her London residential this week. This work is vital for ensuring that the lessons of past horrors are never forgotten.
At the beginning of a critical week for Brexit talks, I was interviewed by CNN's Richard Quest on how events will unfold in the coming days, and Labour’s view on what needs to be done now: https://t.co/w3rSAk1Caw
Now that the #LoanCharge will finally be getting the review it needs, I am calling on the government to act and confirm that all settlements with HMRC will be put on hold until the conclusion of this process. My letter to Treasury Minister, Jesse Norman: https://t.co/EIa873u9mW
Encouraged by the PM’s announcement of a review into the #LoanCharge yesterday. Now a review is finally in sight, the loan charge must be suspended immediately so that no one else has to unnecessarily suffer due to this unfair and retrospective measure. https://t.co/PdWYjqRYtT
At #PMQs today, I asked Boris Johnson how much taxpayer money would need to be spent supporting struggling businesses in the event of a no deal Brexit. He couldn't answer. Now more than ever, it is vital that we know the full costs of crashing out of the EU. #NoToNoDeal https://t.co/myKNe74QRg
Thoroughly enjoyed meeting up with #RugbyLabour last Thursday to campaign for council candidate Beck Hemsley and parliamentary candidate @Debbie_Bannigan. Both passionate champions of fairness and equality who will make fantastic representatives for their community. https://t.co/7rKoiZmRSK
Great to see that the closure of the Black Country Children's Hospice has been temporarily postponed. But more needs to be done to save this facility for the long term. I would urge all my constituents to join me in giving what they can to @Acorns funding appeal. #SaveOurHospice https://t.co/2fFu54Tw51
Thoroughly enjoyed being at Wood Green Academy's sports day on Friday, as part of my support for the @YouthSportTrust's National School Sport Week 2019. Great to see the excellent work that Wood Green are doing to promote benefits of an active lifestyle to our youngsters. https://t.co/nx0Mkb2qh1
