Doreen was a real inspiration within our local Labour Party, as well as her role as Chair of the Erith Town Forum & as political assistant to my Labour predecessor Nigel Beard. An honour to join colleagues to pay tribute to her earlier today. 🌹

It has been both a pleasure and a privilege to work with Angela Rayner over the past two years. She’s put her heart and soul into delivering for this Labour government and leaves a legacy to be proud of.

Right wing media has had it in for @AngelaRayner from the start - they couldn’t bear a working class woman being so powerful & dynamic. She made a mistake & has paid heavily for it. Hope she’ll return at some point in the future - our politics needs more voices like hers

No one can ever take away what Angela Rayner has achieved. Her journey, from a working class background to Deputy Prime Minister is unparalleled. A colleague, a friend and a force for good in our party and country.

Angela has made a massive contribution to this government, this party and our movement. She has worked tirelessly for working class people across our country at every turn - from workers’ rights to investment in affordable housing, her contribution will stand the test of time.

Angela Rayner has played a crucial role in Labour's journey from a devastating defeat, to a historic victory. She has driven the agenda on housing and workers' rights, two of the most important and popular parts of Labour's programme. She can be proud of all she has achieved.

Deeply sad to see @AngelaRayner leave Government. She is a personal inspiration to me as a working class woman in politics & represents the best of the Labour movement. I hope she now gets the privacy she deserves with her family after the emotional toll of the last few days 😔

Sad but inevitable departure of Angela R but the party needs to move on quickly now & set up the election for her successor. It’s crucial the election is used to unite the party & so it has to be an election where candidates from the broad church of the party are enabled to stand

Angela Rayner has been a trailblazer and an inspiration. From fighting for workplace rights to investing in council homes and standing up for those in need, she’s made a real difference. For millions of working-class kids, especially girls, she stands as a powerful role model.

Delighted to remain in post as Education Secretary and Minister for Women & Equalities in this Labour government. Now, we redouble our efforts to break the unfair link between background and success by giving children growing up in our country the best start in life.

Well blow me over with a feather. I REALLY didn’t see that coming.

Thousands have shared a photo showing Rochester Castle decorated with a Union Jack with the suggestion it relates to the recent movement to raise flags in public across the country. But the image predates this. It was taken around the VE Day anniversary in May.…

🎾 Beckenham’s Lucas De Gouveia is just 14 but already represents Team GB in wheelchair tennis and just won the Junior US Open Quarter Final! It’s been a pleasure helping him to secure sponsorship and raise the profile of parasport. Wishing him good luck in the Semi Final!

📲Your phone will make a loud noise and vibrate this Sunday at 3pm, even if set to silent. @patmcfaddenmp & @AbenaOppongAsare visited @RefugeCharity to discuss how victims of domestic abuse with concealed phones could turn off alerts. Find out more at gov.uk/alerts

Let’s see what the ethics adviser says, but maybe instead of all this jumping up and down, now would be a good time to discuss how we look after disabled children and build a more caring country.

Thanks to @IKEAUK for confirming there is now a changing bed in their @ChangingPlaceUK toilet in its Oxford Street branch. This is a significant step finally providing a Changing Places toilet in Oxford Street given the gap between Trafalgar Square & Euston Road without one.

.@CPhilpOfficial just told a whopper of a lie. He claimed the Cons Rwandan scheme would have cleared all the asylum hotels in a year. The Rawandan scheme would have removed 200 people a year. There are currently 33K asylum seekers in hotels.

I started school in Newcastle in Year 5 without knowing a word of English. I was nine years old and had arrived as a refugee from Bosnia just a couple of months earlier. I was one of those strangers our politicians often speak about.

Great to be out in East Wickham, meeting residents with @Sidcup_Labour @BexleyLabour who are fed up at the lack of action to deal with speeding traffic rat running in Sherwood Road and the state the roads and pavements by the Tory council after 20 years of managed decline.…

Great to be out in Belvedere yesterday! Lots of residents around the Keir Hardie Estate with feedback for Orbit, which I'll be taking back to them in the hopes of a street meeting.
