Having written the the whips earlier today, it si right that Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee will have the final say on the #MandelsonFiles. Behind all this is a web of unaccountable power and a culture which dehumanises for personal gain and expediency.
All #York residents have a chance to visit some of our most treasured places for free this weekend. Make the most of this brilliant two day festival and explore something new.
It's only a few days until York's Residents Festival 2026 🎉
Enjoy free entry, exclusive discounts and special experiences across the city, with plenty to discover all weekend long.

A Make It York event.

In blocking @AndyBurnhamGM from standing in Gorton and Denton and taking up his offer of support to help Labour at this crucial time, the Labour leadership must be confident of a strong performance in the local elections in May, alongside holding the vote in Wales and Scotland.
Local party members, and the people of Gorton and Denton, must have the opportunity to select and elect the strongest possible Labour candidate to take on Reform - with no qualified candidates excluded.

It is really simple. The hard working Labour Party members of Gorton & Denton must determine who is the right person to represent their community. As a Party we advocate for democracy. Now we must put this into practice and let them select who they want as their next MP.
This morning I told BBC Breakfast why the Goverment’s watered down #HillsboroughLaw as it stands is not fit to bear the name and why @HLNC cannot support it unless my amendments are carried tomorrow.

Polls open in the Heworth By Election to vote for @yorklabourparty Anna Perrett. She is an outstanding candidate, diligent and committed to the community, having served as a councillor previously. Please vote for Anna today.
Having spoken with many businesses about business rates there are lots of ideas of how changes can be done in a fair & proportionate way. I was pleased to hear from PM that Government are talking with sector. It's now crucial to act quickly & find resolution. #York#BusinessRates
In Parliament I raised my concerns over actions in Venezuela & asked about the scale of accountability for the US President. I believe that UK Government, while not being judge, should strongly condemn the operation & ensure international law is applied. Comments in @yorkpress👇
125 years since the publication of Seebohm Rowntree’s first encyclopaedic report on poverty in York ‘Poverty, A Study of Town Life’ highlighting how 28 per cent of York’s population lived in poverty in 1901. My column for @yorkpress on why this matters 🔗in comments. #York
I'm deeply disturbed by the actions of the US President against Venezuela. International law applies to all jurisdictions; all must be held to account by it. So to bomb, arrest the president and then announce you are running Venezuela is a serious incursion and must be condemned.
With so many outstanding campaigns run in Westminster, it was a surprise to receive the campaign of the year award. I want to say thank you for nomination & I'm so grateful for everyone who shared their stories with me, I'll always put constituents first. @yorkpress 👇#York
