I joined @EndFurniturePov in Parliament for the launch of Creating Homes to Rebuild Lives.
Only 3% of social housing is let furnished. A safe home must be somewhere people can sleep, cook, care for their children & rebuild their lives after domestic abuse.
This important report advocates for a greater use of furnished tenancies for survivors and stronger local crisis support.

A fantastic launch of the #RightToFoodCommission in Parliament, bringing together commissioners, parliamentarians, trade unions, campaigners and the communities at the heart of this fight.
It has been one of the honours of my life to listen to communities across the country and work alongside people determined to end the scourge of hunger.
In one of the richest countries in the world, nobody should be worried about where their next meal is coming from.
Now we need Government action.
A Right to Food enshrined in law, ensuring everyone can access affordable, nutritious food with dignity.
Our communities cannot carry on paying the price for political decisions that drive poverty and food insecurity.
Hunger is a political choice. Together, we must demand a different future.
#RightToFood #HungerIsAPoliticalChoice
People wrongly convicted of crimes can spend decades fighting to prove their innocence.
Trew’s Law would give them a fairer route to justice.
We’ve now hit 25,000 signatures - keep sharing Trew’s Law!

🎵 IN THE TOWN WHERE I WAS BORN 🎵
A new one-of-a-kind Beatles experience is coming to Liverpool!
The Beatles story will relocate from its current home on the Royal Albert Dock to St Johns Market in 2028.
The attraction will bring the Fab Four’s story to life with immersive tech, original artefacts and spectacular sets and props from Sam Mendes' upcoming Four Film Cinematic Event.
Visitors will journey through the world that created The Beatles from post-war Liverpool, through to their years in Hamburg, to the explosion of Beatlemania, and the heights of international fame.
Fans will step inside some of the most memorable locations including:
🎙️ The Cavern
🎚️ Abbey Road
🏟️ Shea Stadium
🎶 Savile Row and more!
The iconic St Johns Beacon will also house a new Yellow Submarine experience that will give fans:
🌆 A panoramic 360-degree view of Liverpool
🎸 A chance to spot Beatles landmarks
📍 A look at some of the city’s most famous sights
This will be the first official fan experience to be operated in Liverpool by Apple Corps, creating a world class destination befitting of the world’s greatest musical legacy!

LIVERPOOL BOOK LAUNCH
Tomorrow evening at @WaterstonesLPL with @Knox_Harrington, host of @TheAnfieldWrap.
Modern slavery can be hard to spot.
Thousands of people are trapped in exploitation across the UK, often hidden in plain sight, silenced by fear or unaware that support exists.

🎵 It’s #NationalAlbumDay 2026 🎵
My choice is Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On (1973). I was lucky enough to see him live at the Empire Theatre in 1976 when I was 16.

Pleasure to meet with Martin and Keziah today as part of @ACORNunion's cost-of-living day of action in Parliament.
If this Government is serious about tackling the cost-of-living crisis, it must act where it matters most.
Poverty is a political choice.
