Thank you Potrika for this! With 61% child poverty in parts of #Poplar & #Limehouse we cannot take any more cuts. We need #RealChange. I am ready to fight like George, and Minnie, Lansbury if elected to parliament this week. #VoteLabour2019 #GetTheToriesOut #SocialistSunday 
The #LabourParty manifesto commits to measures towards genuine equality. I met with Dr. Laura Schwartz, to discuss Minnie Lansbury, the suffragette movement in #Poplar & #Limehouse, and our hopes for the future. #Feminism2020 #VoteLabourDecember12th

Today on the UN's International Day of Disabled People I attended a ceremony organised by @APASENTH and talked with them about their work in #Poplar & #Limehouse. The UN has reported that Tories have committed “systematic violations” of the rights of disabled people #IDDP2019
@APASENTH Austerity has made existing inequalities so much worse. Labour's manifesto for disabled people launched today begins to address these issues. Working to the principle ‘nothing about you without you’ it offers #RealChange. #IDDP2019 labour.org.uk/breaking-down-…
@APASENTH Breaking Down Barriers means:
✔A new benefits system designed by disabled people
✔Mandatory disability pay gap reporting for companies with over 250 employees
✔Disability leave, paid and recorded separately from sick leave ... (continues)

After yesterday's #channel4news I've been trying to think why some might see Johnson as a 'lovable baffoon':
- his premiership (and personal life) is based on lies & lying is his default position.
- he has made it clear, again & again, that he sides with the richest...1/4

...& the bankers at the expense of us all.
- his intense dislike and distain for women, for working class people & his racism, his homophibia are clear for all to see.
- he has failed again and again in parliament, is generally ill-prepared & is often hardly coherent. 2/4

- he avoids tough questions - from voters, from the media, from colleagues - whenever he can.
So, nasty, incompetent coward seems a far better description.
We can blame long-believed historical ideology that the #Tories are born to rule & voting for them shows our...

[thread] What would higher wages do for your local economy? In Preston, the @UKLabour council introduced the Real Living Wage to its workers & procured services from local companies who agreed to pay it too.(1/4)
Living wage employers in Preston range from multinational giants to SMEs; public sector institutions to charities. As a result of this investment in local business & the local workforce, the employment rate grew faster than in neighbouring towns and than the UK average.(2/4)
Solidarity with all university staff striking over pay, pensions, equality and decent working conditions. I'm still recovering from illness but will join the picket at Queen Mary tomorrow @qmul_ucu @QMUL tomorrow #ucustrike #UCUStrikesBack
@qmul_ucu @QMUL 'The pay gap between BAME women and white men at QMUL was 31% in 2019. 9% of all academic staff are on “temporary or ‘atypical’ contracts”... with no job security.' qmucu.org/2019/11/20/why… #UCUstrike #UCUStrikesBack
@qmul_ucu @QMUL At QMUL BAME staff are paid 22% less than white staff & women 14% less than men. When teaching & support staff face job insecurity, discrimination & low pay they can't provide the best teaching. Without decent working conditions, you fail staff & you fail students #UCUStrikesBack

51% of young people in prison are BME.
So pleased to see a commitment in the new Labour manifesto to build on my review into disproportionality in the criminal justice system.
A fair society depends on a justice system that treats all citizens as equals. That is #RealChange

Education policy is about more than under-18s and university students.
Labour is right to commit to reverse years of Tory cuts to adult education in a #NationalEducationService.
Time to restore adult learning, colleges and night schools to their former glory. #RealChange

We only have until 2030 to cut global emissions in half, if we are to have a hope of containing the climate emergency.

1. When I was at school I had a teacher who said that everyone should take 10 years off between school & higher education. I didn't quite do that as I trained to be a nursery nurse after school but after 8 years of work (as NN & in clerical positions) I started a degree aged 28.
2. My undergraduate (and post-graduate) studies were both fee-free and supported by grant/bursary. I've been teaching & mentoring in HE for nearly three decades now and that those I teach & support have not had such advantages makes me ANGRY. I get frustrated too when students...
3. ...are unable to concentrate because they are tired from doing the jobs they need to do to survive.
When I studied, and first began to teach, there were many mature students. There are hardly any now.
SO: how exciting, how very needed are @UkLabour's plans for a...
