We're facing a junk food crisis and it's killing us. We need to act and early. That's why in #Hounslow, with one of London's highest obesity rates, we partnered with #JamieOliver to teach parents of primary kids to cook healthy, affordable meals, and have funded cooking equipment for #schools.

Absolutely right from #KeirStarmer. Palestinians must be allowed to return home. And the international community must set its sights on the creation of a Palestinian state. National building, not ethnic cleansing. #Gaza #Palestine #Trump #Iseal #PMQs

I'm deeply saddened at the news of John Prescott's death. A enormous figure in the Labour movement, he made a tremendous difference for the better in the country. A straight-talking, salt-of-the-earth politician, of a kind sadly far rarer today. We shall not see his like again.
