I passionately believe everyone deserves an opportunity to get into work.
With warnings unemployment will rise sharply we can’t allow people to be written off.
I want to reform support to help more people into work.

Rishi Sunak talks about the economy like he didn’t run it until a few weeks ago. The mess we are in is down to him.

"What's the point of the Conservative Party?" asks Rishi Sunak. At last, some sense.

The country is crying out for change:
▪️A devastating cost of living crisis only set to become worse.
▪️Public services grinding to a halt because of years of Tory cut backs.
▪️A Tory economic model of low growth & high taxes.
And continuity candidates with more cuts coming.
Labour DWP Team retweeted
I spoke to @nadinebh_ @YahooNews about the two continuity candidates running for the Tory leadership who will only deepen the cost of living crisis for working people, families and pensioners.

The lack of significant govt help with the cost of living crisis alongside real terms cuts to support has left disabled people in a desperate state with many unable to pay the rocketing energy bills.
We need an emergency budget and real help now.

25 years ago a new Labour government began lifting children & pensioners out of poverty.
Today 12 years of the Tories sees child & pensioner poverty rising, Universal Credit cut & the biggest real terms cut to pension for 50 years.
It doesn’t have to be like this.

#Evusheld gives immunocompromised people 83% protection for six months.
The MHRA approved this life-changing drug on the 17th March - it’s time the government ordered it!
I welcome @BorisJohnson asking @DHSCgovuk meet me & #CEVPeople to discuss how best to proceed. #PMQs

The Tories have just imposed the biggest real terms cut to the pension for 50 years.
Now pensioners face a cost of living ‘year from hell.’

A Tory cost of living crisis:
▪️Biggest real terms cut to state pension for 50 years.
▪️Sunak’s punishing tax rise.
▪️Heating bills up
▪️Universal Credit cut.
Yet Tory ministers all preoccupied with Johnson’s scandals and law breaking.

While nearly 400,000 benefit sanctions were handed out to British people last year, the Government were busy breaking and remaking the rules for themselves and their friends.
With this Government it always seems to be one rule for them and another for everyone else.

"The structural & systemic inequalities haven’t, frankly, been touched, we’ve just tinkered around the edges...& not done anything tangible to change the lives of disabled people.”

🧵It is good to see some signs that the labour market is starting to recover as businesses reopen but there are still some worrying trends that the Government cannot ignore:

Following deeply worrying reports of people being denied Universal Credit because of issues with Real Time Information, I've written to Minister @willquince asking for immediate action before an already serious problem worsens @glasgownunite @GlasgowPam

Time and again, the Government have severely let down our young people during this crisis. Today’s statistics show the scale of the challenge we face and we cannot afford to get it wrong
