MP for Islington North ?
Nobody votes to take strike action unless it’s an act of desperation. Today, I asked the Tories to stop their draconian assault on workers’ rights, and face up to the issues of poverty, inequality and stress they have created.
Heartbroken to hear that multiple firefighters who saved lives at Grenfell have been diagnosed with cancer. I will never forget the disgusting way they were scapegoated for government failings. Our demands for the safety of residents & workers — for justice — continue to grow.
As billionaires meet atop their mountain in Davos, 800 million people across the globe are going to bed hungry. It’s time for a new economic model that redistributes wealth, ownership and power from those who wield it to those who need it.

How to destroy the NHS: Step 1. Run it into the ground with austerity. Step 2. Exploit the crisis to empower the private sector. Step 3. Abolish the principle of universal health care. End privatisation, support striking workers and save our NHS.
