Joint enterprise is the root of significant injustices & women too often bear the heaviest consequences.
I met Rachel during a visit to HMP Styal last year & her story has stayed with me. Her case is a powerful reminder of why reform is urgently needed.

- "Reform and Farage offer nothing other than scapegoating and division. Itโs time to shun the stereotypes perpetuated by those who want to line their own pockets." Important and timely piece by @IanLaveryMP for @tribunemagazine ๐

- A very dark day for justice. Upholding the proscription of Palestine Action is a dangerous abuse of counter-terrorism powers. When protest is treated as terrorism, dissent is criminalised and the foundations of our democracy are weakened.
- Fantastic to attend the opening of Everton Park Accessible Playground this weekend! ๐๐น The new play equipment, soft-surface areas, MUGA & skatepark will be transformative for local families. Huge thanks to Cllr Jane Corbett, Cllr Portia Fahey & @lpoolcouncil parks team! ๐๐ฝ00:00

- An Israeli property conference selling off illegally occupied Palestinian lands is set to take place in London this Sunday. I've added my name to this letter, urging the government to uphold its obligations under international law and stop the event from going ahead.
- Kim Johnson repostedScale of sentences on the 4 young people who took direct action against the arms supplier to Israel is truly shocking. To impose years of imprisonment for protesting to save lives in Gaza is unjust, especially sentencing on terrorist grounds they were never convicted of by a jury
- My statement on this weekend's planned march on County Road ๐
