Under the Tories, council tax has risen by 33%. They've cut billions from local government, including £100m from Barnsley, whilst demand for vital local services has grown. As Keir Starmer outlined in his speech this week, the government must do more to protect families. https://t.co/o3XGAEQlEs
RT @Keir_Starmer: The Government has been too slow to act. We must now get behind the national effort to be the first in the world to get our country vaccinated. https://t.co/zNgtbI9XNF

I am giving my hard-working staff a well-deserved break over Christmas so my office will be closing today. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch but my inbox and answer machine will only be checked periodically. Unless urgent, my staff will contact you in the New Year. 🎄 https://t.co/5DBdSJSae4
We need to do all we can drive infections down. I joined a call this morning with the Testing Minister on the announcement that Community testing will be rolled out across Barnsley to target those without symptoms. Please take a test if offered- it will help break transmission.

I have been campaigning for the National Minimum Wage naming scheme to resume. Following my calls last month, I'm pleased it's happened. Unscrupulous employers have gotten away with exploiting their workers for too long. https://t.co/khAsm2obkq

As schools & colleges return from half-term many are still feeling the effects of this year's exams results fiasco. I challenged the Education Minister about the Government’s actions this summer and pressed them to take action to avoid a repeat of this terrible scandal. https://t.co/o5dgPuRqFy
The report from the EHRC is completely damning. Keir’s statement is welcome and he is right, today is a day of shame for the Labour Party. As Parliamentary Chair of @HOPEnothate, I commit to working alongside my colleagues to ensure the recommendations are implemented in full.
