Senior doorkeeper Paul Kehoe helps keep the magic of Parliament running behind the scenes 🎅✨ Paul has worked in the House of Commons since he was 19 years old, for more than 46 years It was an absolute joy to interview him about his lifetime of service

In this interview with Geri Scott at The Times I explore the number of missed opportunities the NHS has to identify and refer victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence to specialist services. “We only do bones here” needs to become a sentiment of the past. www.thetimes.com/article/48b7...

Absolutely brilliant news that the Government has announced it will ban nudification apps and other tools designed to create non-consensual intimate images. This is an issue I’ve been raising since last year and it’s great Labour is delivering on this to protect women and girls!

This investment will change lives. It'll go towards bespoke, calming spaces to help children with additional needs get the support they need at a good, local school on their doorstep. Labour is building schools where every child can achieve and thrive. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Tories say that all parties want to tackle child poverty. Sadly, it's not true. Only Labour have taken action. We'll drive the largest reduction of child poverty within a single Parliament. Deeds, not words.

I'm honoured to have been asked to advise the Health Secretary on how our health system can contribute to this Government's mission of halving violence against women and girls in a decade.

It's been a long time coming...today we are reconnecting council funding with deprivation -> www.gov.uk/government/n...

Today, we honour all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. We will remember them.

What we see online doesn’t stay online. Violent pornography is putting young people in danger - that’s why we’re banning it. @womensaid.bsky.social @evawuk.bsky.social @whiteribbonuk.bsky.social @mollyroseorg.bsky.social #ukpolitics #uklabour #onlinesafety #violenceagainstwomen #choking #psa

We’re updating what children learn at school so they’re ready for the modern world. That means strong foundations, plus new skills like spotting fake news online and understanding money, and access to arts and sport. Find out more. 👇

Our expert-led Curriculum and Assessment Review has concluded. Its recommendations will support this Labour government to build a system where every child can achieve and thrive. A renewed system, fit for the future. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Thank you Liz Kendall and Alex Davies-Jones for acting to stop online platforms profiting off degrading and misogynistic content normalising strangulation during sex. Together, we will halve violence against women and girls.

Thank you @waynebavinshow.bsky.social at BBC Radio Suffolk for inviting me on your show to discuss the appalling levels of street-based sexual harassment and domestic sexual abuse that women continue to face. 1/3

Pimping websites are used by sex traffickers to advertise victims @ofcom.bsky.social guidance for these sites on implementing the Online Safety Act is totally inadequate and deeply harmful Our Chair @tonia-antoniazzi.bsky.social has written to CEO Dame Melanie Dawes requesting urgent changes 1/2

This month's highlight: the launch of our Pre-phonics Boost in Parliament! 🙌 Massive thanks to @jessasatomp.bsky.social for hostingt, as well as Ministers @helenhayes.bsky.social, @davidbainesmp.bsky.social, @rupahuq.bsky.social and Sarah Russell for attending. Learn more: https://bit.ly/47q9dtn

In case you missed it this week - this is the difference a Labour Government makes.

It was great to meet Kelle Bryan this week in Parliament to support Loose Women 's award-winning campaign, Facing It Together. You can find out more here: www.itv.com/loosewomen/a...

I’m so glad to announce that my campaign has been a success, and the £318 fee that survivors of domestic abuse needed to pay to keep their address private when seeking financial assistance has been SCRAPPED 🎉 Thank you @sarahsackman.bsky.social

What a week this has been. This is the difference a Labour Government makes.

Great to join the Health Secretary, Mariella Frostrup, and campaigners this week to celebrate the Government's announcement that menopause will be included in free NHS health checks - helping millions more to get the care they need.

I am over the moon that this Labour Government has agreed to bring an end to presumption of contact in the family courts.

I’m delighted the Government have made changes to the Victims Bill following my Amendment 9, which will extend the removal of parental responsibility to serious child sexual abuse offenders who offend against children not in their family. Thank you to Fair Hearing for your support.

I know that safeguarding victims is at the heart of our Government’s approach to the criminal justice system. That’s why I have tabled amendments to the Sentencing Bill which would better protect domestic abuse victims. labourlist.org/2025/10/pris...

Proud to be backed by my own union, @gmb.org.uk I’m asking for your vote, to be the voice for our entire movement at the cabinet table - standing up for working people, delivering change, and getting things done.

It was an honour to meet Esther Ghey to support her campaign to ban smartphones in schools. Our children learn better, teachers’ wellbeing improves and safeguarding concerns dramatically decrease when schools implement a ban. phonefreeeducation.org

I have tabled 3 amendments to the Victims and Courts Bill. Two to end the postcode lottery when it comes to accessing services for victims and those that care for them. And one to allow courts to strip child sexual abusers of their parental responsibility. bills.parliament.uk/bills/3968/s...

Yesterday we launched our Pre-phonics Boost at a reception in Parliament hosted by @jessasatomp.bsky.social! Pre-phonics Boost is an online resource to help pupils access phonics so they can start their reading journey with confidence. Learn more 👉 speechandlanguage.org.uk/educators-an...

Here’s what I’ve been up to recently 👉 As your Deputy Leader, I’ll be your Campaigner in Chief, by your side, making members proud of our government and proud to knock on doors.

Children shouldn’t be bombarded with upsetting content online like graphic killings. This timely new report from @internetmatters.bsky.social sets out the impact on children and calls for better media literacy in schools 👇 www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

I was proud to commend the Prime Minister on his strong stance in his speech to Labour Conference a couple of weeks ago and highlight why a particular party opposite does not deserve the chance to govern at Prime Minister’s Questions today 👇🏼

Great to join campaigners outside Parliament today calling for equal protection and an end to the physical punishment of children. #MakeItClear @rcpch.bsky.social @nspcc.bsky.social @barnardos.org.uk

Everyone needs chances and choices in life. Homelessness is a dreadful risk to that, and the Tories looked the other way whilst this crisis grew. We won't. www.bigissue.com/opinion/alis...

Here’s why Muhammad is backing Bridget for Deputy Leader👇

The deputy leadership election is a choice. Back me to end child poverty, or take us back to our divided past. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Ballots are dropping today for the Deputy Leadership election! I will be voting for @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social

Deeply proud to be backed by Alan Johnson, a giant of the Labour movement. The deputy leadership is a choice between a strong government true to our values and ready to win again, or the divided party for which Farage is desperate. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

As the weeks ends, we're reflecting on a powerful series of events at the #LabourPartyConference On Tuesday, we joined a New Statesman session on how business can support government to end #VAWG. With contributions from @jessasatomp.bsky.social, @alexmclabour.bsky.social (cont. in thread) (1/7)

Kemi Badenoch’s pledge to repeal the Climate Change Act is playing fire with our childrens’ futures. It will harm our economic growth and undermines our global credibility. Proud to sign this letter alongside 124 others.

Child poverty will be my number 1 priority as Deputy Leader. There’s no time to waste. We’ll only tackle it if we come together, not by turning on each other. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Here’s why I’m standing to be your Deputy Leader 👇

I will be looking to get as many people and civic organisations as possible involved in a positive English identity campaign next year, nationally, regionally, locally. If that sounds like something you'd like to know more about or get involved with, do get in touch with me.

We were at the #LabourConference this week, raising awareness of the urgent challenges care-experienced young people face daily It was great to see policymakers open to listening and exploring solutions. @jessasatomp.bsky.social #YoungPeople #CareExperienced

🧵on Michelle Mone and Covid contracts 1/ Former Tory peer Michelle Mone has called today’s ruling that PPE Medpro must give the taxpayer back £122m for supplying dodgy PPE an ‘establishment cover-up’. Utter nonsense. Let’s ignore the rhetoric & look at the facts 👇

Great to see results from the Greater Manchester pilots of Domestic Abuse Protection Orders introduced by the Labour Government last year. This is an important tool in our fight to halve violence against women and girls within a decade. www.gmp.police.uk/news/greater...

Pleased to participate on @carerstrust.bsky.social panel @teamlabouruk.bsky.social conference with @jessasatomp.bsky.social & others - focused on young carers & education. Emphasising young carers as a non-homogeneous group & the importance of centring policy responses in their voice & experience

Also underway at #Lab25: our joint event with Triple P on the role of evidence-based parenting programmes in delivering support at scale, reaching hard-to-reach groups, and boosting school readiness in line with the Best Start in Life Strategy w/ @oliviabailey.bsky.social & @jessasatomp.bsky.social

Fantastic to speak with @jessasatomp.bsky.social about how we can reduce health inequalities and improve cancer outcomes. Thanks for stopping by our stand at #Lab25!

Powerful young people led reception at #LabConf for the Children’s Charities Coalition - delighted with the attendance, engagement & support for young people across the UK Thanks to @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social Liz Kendall @jessasatomp.bsky.social @joshdeanmp.bsky.social Josh McCallister for coming
