Prisons don’t work. The evidence is all there. Rather than expanding the criminal justice system invest in communities and decimated social, health and community support - education, housing, jobs, youth clubs, refuges, mental health, addictions.

My Labour government will fix the prisons crisis and put dangerous criminals behind bars.

The irony - what humanity looks like 2023! Rescue teams of a tourist submersible carrying 4 millionaire and 1 billionaire went missing during a dive to the wreck of the Titanic, and a rescue teams of a refugee boat carrying 800 poor people looking for a better life for their children.

Knowing how to help your upset athlete is never easy. We spoke with @alisha_rees1, Scottish 60/100m National Record holder, about how she deals with disappointment👇 There’s nothing quite like learning from those who have been there and done it. parents.theathleteplace.com/…

That was vile from @KwasiKwarteng who actually just said "for too long in this country we've indulged in a fight over redistribution" Indulged? Dealing with inequality is somehow over-generous? Does he think people choose to be poor & face disadvantage? Disgusting #MiniBudget

From next April the 45% top rate of tax (applies to those earning £150,000) will be scrapped. So the top rate will be the 40% higher rate threshold. This means mega earners, pay the same rate as those on £50,000. #MiniBudget

Buzzing to be selected for my first Commonwealth Games 🤩 At the last games in 2018, me, @AdamThomas100 and @alisha_rees1 missed the standard by 0.01 of a second. But since, we’ve got our heads down and secured selection 😭 The third photo is from the crowd in Glasgow 2014 🥰
