1 August 2020 - Barry Sheerman MP tweets about "silver shekels" in reference to 2 Jewish businessmen.
He deletes the tweets and apologises.
Labour's statement: "Barry has deleted the tweets and apologised. He deeply regrets the offence caused."

Years of systemic mismanagement have led us to this point where ALL staff @uniofeastanglia fear that they can lost their job within the next few weeks.

Dozens of young children are being held at Manston detention camp in Kent.
Mothers, fathers, children and babies from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere.
