There can be no more excuses for Grenfell inaction, the Government and tower block owners must do whatever it takes to keep people safe in their homes - @JohnHealey_MP mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

PM has gone back on her word. Govt amendment takes the meaning out of a meaningful vote. Parliament should reject it. twitter.com/politicshome/s…

In this morning’s @DExEUgov questions I asked Ministers about the Cabinet row over a customs backstop and what more is needed to ensure no hard border on the island of Ireland #Brexit >>> pic.twitter.com/ANWTo06axY

I visited the Bedouin community of Khan al-Ahmar in the West Bank in September 2016 with @Caabu and @MedicalAidPal. This week I joined over 100 MPs in writing to the Israeli Ambassador to call on him to stop its demolition and the forcible transfer of its inhabitants. pic.twitter.com/NRiAiTbAQP

A year ago today, we awoke to the horror of the Grenfell tower fire in which 72 people lost their lives. One year on, we remember the victims of that tragedy, think of those who managed to escape and commit ourselves to carry on fighting for #JusticeForGrenfell twitter.com/GrenfellUnited…

Very cheeky opening line from Keir Starmer to David Davis in parliament: "I've done a tally, and he's threatened to resign this year more times than he's met Michel Barnier."

Brexiteers alarmed that the PM has promised too much on #meaningfulvote. "If Grieve et al are correct, the Brexiteers can't stomach it. It would be total abject surrender". Uh-oh. Full story and short analysis news.sky.com/story/pm-risks… pic.twitter.com/Y6M93kbQe1

I’m bitterly disappointed that the Government yesterday issued a directive order to academise @TheJohnRoan using the power of ‘forced conversion’ set out in the Tory/Lib Dem Coalition Government’s Academies Act 2010.

No10 confirms that part C of the Grieve amendment (bear with me here), which would see parliament step in to prevent a no deal Brexit, has been rejected by the Government. That's not what the rebels believed after speaking to the PM. More trouble looming.

Parliament is entitled to give you a negotiating mandate. It is entitled to require you to act within that mandate. The Government is accountable to Parliament - it is not a free agent. The Government does not represent the people - the will of the people resides in Parliament. twitter.com/SteveBakerHW/s…

Ultimately, it is the pupils and their education that has to be at the forefront of everyone’s minds now and our immediate focus must be on what will deliver rapid and sustained improvement at the school so that every one of them is able to achieve their full potential.

While the 2016 Academies and Education and Adoption Act places a statutory duty on the Council to facilitate the academy conversion, Cllrs must do everything possible to ensure The Roan remains part of the local family of schools and that its identity and ethos are protected.

That was the case I made last month in a letter to the Secretary of State for Education and it’s depressing that in their response to my letter, the DfE did not seriously engage with it. pic.twitter.com/pQSCh2q28Y
