Today would have been my big brother Luke’s 44th birthday. Sadly he passed away last Tuesday from cancer. He was a loving father and husband, successful academic and my best friend and I’ll miss him terribly. I have spent a lot of the past few days trying to make sense of this. But sometimes things don’t make sense and all we can do is sit with our grief and hold the people we love close. The best advice I received from someone during my brothers illness was never leave anything unsaid. Tell the people what they mean to you. Happy birthday bro, I love you.

I read it in a couple of days, he should be fine! 😂 It really is a brilliant biography and insight into the parallel lives people live told through the eyes of one of the most impressively resilient people I have met.

Some light reading for @andyburnham this week. He might not have much time for it after Monday... 📚

"We cannot take that hurt away tonight, but we can put decency back at the heart of the British state, and that is what this bill does." With the Hillsborough Law set to be approved in the Commons, Andy Burnham says he hopes it "ends the cover-up culture" many have faced in the country.

@JoshFG Every time I have to do a paper review with only the front pages available I am convinced the Telegraph has one. Can’t explain the discrepancy between headlines and reality/actual articles otherwise. It never misses.

I recently met with Network Rail to press them on the long-awaited access works at Todmorden station. Funding was granted over 7 years ago for lifts to both platforms and other adaptations, with work originally set to complete in Spring 2025. Yet, as local residents know, work paused in 2024, with little information since then. Network Rail have taken over responsibility for the project from Northern Rail after issues with contractors, and I was reassured to hear Network Rail’s commitment to getting the work going again and delivering the promised improvements as soon as possible. I know this is something that the community and councillors over the last few years have campaigned hard for, and it’s an issue I’ve raised with Transport Ministers in Parliament. Currently, many disabled passengers are faced with travelling to Hebden Bridge and back to be able to alight the train, and one passenger described to me how they had to slide feet-first down the stairs to be able to exit the station. I’m pleased to say I secured a commitment from Network Rail to hold public engagement sessions over the summer, so local people can be updated on the project and shown the latest plans. I will continue to push for clearer timescales and keep the pressure on Network Rail for these works to be restarted at pace.

I think often government (of all types) makes mistakes around farming by failing to understand how rural economies work. The delays around announcing numbers of agricultural workers will be available are an example of that - which is why I raised it with the home office.

(2/3) Discussing the recent NFU Fellowship visit to Barfoots in Sussex @JoshFG urged the Minister to give farming businesses clarity on the amount of seasonal worker visas available. We were pleased to hear the Minister recognise the importance of this to hort farms in his reply.

My post about work on less survivable cancers 900 views… my post about a man dressed as a bin 80,000 views… I feel social media encourages the wrong thing. 🙈

@JoshFG You’re worrying about social media views when your constituents emails have 0 views and 0 replies… I think you’re worried about the wrong thing pal

@CllrJamesGriggs You’re right. It’s one of the more enjoyable things that has happened in politics for a while! I think it peaked when Brendan O’Neil wrote a hit piece condemning it!

@JoshFG There are many issues with social media but you have to agree there is something weirdly compelling about the bin saga

I’m not saying Reform are rattled, but one of Nigel Farage’s close allies has done a hit piece on a man who dresses as a bin! U okay hun?
Raheem J. Kassam@RaheemKassam

All this Count Binface talk got me looking into who this guy really is. Jonathan David Harvey — who earns his living making comedy shows for the BBC — is an Oxbridge liberal elitist who has screeds of anti-Brexit, anti-Trump, and anti-British rants on his Twitter going back over a decade. He even thought Nigel Farage’s Brexit balloons “looked Russian.” His “Talent Manager” Hollie Ebdon once wrote of Farage, “Oh f*ck off you horrible c*nt.” Don’t get me wrong, I think Binface is a hilarious character, and Harvey is clearly a talented satirist. But pretending he’s just some random bloke in a suit having a laugh is nonsense. He’s an establishment luvvie sent to try to undermine the aspirations of people who vote for right wing candidates or parties. Reminds me of when Al Murray ran against Farage in 2015 and got 300-odd votes. Mocking people to their faces is only funny for so long.

@JoshFG @womensaid I’m pleased you raised this. As long ago as 1970 a fellow Leeds uni student - seemingly the life and soul of the party but estranged from his wife - took his 9 year-old son out for the day, shot him and then killed himself. And more recently we remember Claire Throssel’s sons.

Today I am speaking at @womensaid conference. One area of work I’m most proud of is ending the presumption, in family courts, that contact with an abuser is beneficial to a child. A policy directly responsible for the death of 67 children. I asked the minister about it recently
