Some MPs are briefing newspapers that they'd stand down if they couldn't have second jobs as they couldn't possibly live on £82,000 per year. Good riddance I say. How out of touch are these people? MPs are in the top 5% of earners. That's plenty enough. Ban second jobs for MPs.

The @ukhomeoffice & @pritipatel have consistently claimed that they have paid out 31 million in compensation to #Windrushvictims yet there has been no evidence to support their claims .Today we ask the @CommonsHomeAffs & @CommonsECC to request the breakdown of these figures.

Just in complete shock regarding the death of Maxine.I have known her for over 20 yrs plus as a founder of her consultancy and dedicated activist of the Labour Party a keen champion of black representation at levels. We must leave a legacy to reflect our passions and commitment.
