Any leadership contest must happen on a timescale which allows proper debate, democracy and a full field of candidates. To ensure differing viewpoints within the party are fully representative, we should also change undemocratic nomination rules designed to exclude the left.

It is clear the PM does not have a credible plan. He must now set out a timetable for departure. But the process to replace him cannot be a coronation. Our next leader must be chosen in a real democratic contest. Otherwise we risk ending up right back where we started.

You could be forgiven for missing the fact that the perpetrator of last weekโs horrific stabbings in Golders Green stabbed a Muslim man on the same day. Most media coverage failed to initially report this. We must oppose hatred and violence against all communities.

Today, I stood with midwives outside Parliament to call for fair funding, sustainable training, and secure employment pathways. Despite chronic staffing shortages in the NHS, many newly qualified midwives are now graduating into unemployment. The government must address this.

This weekend, Brixton witnessed two appalling incidents of violent crime, which left one man dead and another fighting for his life. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the deceased and those injured. Anyone with information relating to these incidents is asked to call police on 101.

Last night, Israel's navy committed an act of armed piracy in international waters, threatening unarmed civilians on the Global Sumud Flotilla. Our government must condemn this attack, extend diplomatic protection to British participants on the flotilla and work to ensure its safe passage.

I am not in Parliament for today's vote on referring Keir Starmer. If I was, I would be voting for the motion. Transparency is a cornerstone of our democracy. The best thing for the PM to do would be to simply refer himself on this matter and save us all the drama.

Menstrual stigma socially conditions women to conceal pain, push through it and stay silent at work. Statutory menstrual leave is not a radical policy, it is a practical, compassionate and long-overdue step towards a fairer and healthier working society.
