    I expect the law to take a very tough line with sex offenders and child abusers. Convicted offenders should serve long sentences. Of course the last Tory govt disgracefully failed to build enough prison places but early release of these criminals shouldn’t be happening.

    Capita’s administration of the civil service pension scheme has been a disaster. Thousands of retired civil servants have missed out on payments and some have experienced financial crisis. Another outsourcing failure. I support @pcs_union’s call to bring it back in-house.

    Instead of war, let’s have an agenda for health, education, public services, people and communities. Let’s have a social security system that stops people falling into poverty. If there’s money to be found for killing people, then there is money to be found for saving people.

    Royal Mail should be a public service. But it's parent company is paying out nearly £7 million a year to its CEO. At the same time I am told by many constituents that the service locally is failing badly. How can that be right? I raised this issue in the Commons.

    We must put an end to the days of multinational companies sacking trade union members. The government must make sure that every worker is free to join a trade union without fear of sanction, and that every employer recognises the trade unions active in their workplace.

    Our campaign for a union at Rockstar continues! Today, we've filed for recognition with @RockstarGames, asking Rockstar to meet with their workers to agree a deal for good working conditions, fairness and a say at work. We await Rockstar's response. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

    I was delighted to open the new banking hub in Normanton earlier on. Many constituents have expressed difficulties with accessing banking services. This is a positive step forwards.

    Andy Burnham beat Reform by promising working-class voters a break with decades of decline. He must now turn that promise into a transformative programme for government or risk repeating Keir Starmer’s failures, write Jon Trickett MP.

    The decision to withdraw the winter fuel payment from some pensioners was a major error. My suspended colleagues and I were right to vote against it. Whoever becomes the next PM must learn from Starmer's mistake.
    After Starmer’s ‘purge’, could Andy Burnham lure back Labour’s bruised leftwingers?
