Karl Turner MP

Well said @andyburnham ✊

One of the most powerful speeches I’ve ever witnessed in Parliament from @IanByrneMP today as we pass the Hillsborough Law. A landmark day in the fight for truth, justice and accountability for all victims of institutional failures. #JFT97 x.com/SaulStaniforth…

Keir Starmer has become the first UK prime minister to be presented with the Légion d’honneur by a French president, in recognition of his work with France on the security of Europe. This is something he ought and WE ought to feel extremely proud about Well done @Keir_Starmer Who needs America?

Without accountability, there can be no justice. Hillsborough changed who I was as a person and as a politician.

Excellent. Very bright. Socialist. And decent. Louise will serve @andyburnham very well. ✊👊

Very good to hear this. Ann loved animals and was so very kind to them. Donkey sanctuaries. Cats and dog protection and of course she was ardently supportive of the (partial) ban on hunting with hounds. A very good woman. Before people have a pop I am not caveating this with anything. Good and kind.

Many asked me to find out about Aloysuis, Ann Widdecombe’s beloved rescue cat. AW’s management tell me: “Aloysuis was removed from the scene very quickly. He is safe, well cared for and Ann’s family will decide a long-term plan. Rest assured he is being his usual bossy self!”

Main business today is remaining stages of the public office (accountability) bill, known as the Hillsborough law. It has been reported that Andy Burnham will speak on the bill later today.

.@LindsayHoyle_MP is an absolutely outstanding Speaker. Scrupulously fair. That’s my honest opinion. I was a massive fan of Speaker Bercow as well to be honest. This speaker is outstanding. Down to earth and fiercely protective of the House and its members.

.@UKLabour committed to recover every beam of taxpayers money. We should set up a specialist unit within the Serious Fraud Office to ensure that this is done.

A lot of women were briefed against and smeared. When @downingstreet recognised that some cabinet Minister were more capable than @Keir_Starmer they took against them. Leaks. Briefings. Smears. This must change. The boys always seem to bully women more than the men. That’s my view.

CORRECTION: A great opportunity for Labour!

.@HackneyAbbott never ever complains but it is true that Diane is by far the most abused member of @HouseofCommons. She is also an incredibly kind person. She has been very supportive to me.

I’m a member of @UKLabour a proud socialist. Suspended from the Labour whip in Parliament for opposing jury trial curtailment which @andyburnham has since confirmed he will put it in the bin where it belongs. If not this, then what Leveson liked to ask. The answer is not this ludicrous proposal, not now and NOT ever! #NotLongNowDave

@KarlTurnerMP @Nigel_Farage @KemiBadenoch Why do you hide which political party you stand for @KarlTurnerMP ? Are you ashamed ? You should be ashamed !

.@Nigel_Farage thinks he requires more protection than the actual leader of His Majesties Opposition @KemiBadenoch a woman that is very likely abused and threatened a lot of the time. He has half a dozen MPs in Parliament. Half of them are failed Tory MPs. What on earth is he giving it? We are all subject to abuse and threats (most abuse is directed at women MPs) so I get it but @EdwardJDavey leads a Parliamentary party of 72 MPs. @LibDems have fully committed to rejoining the EU (the Greens as well) which is likely still the most controversial issue amongst some (a lot) of the electorate yet we don’t hear Ed dictating what state provided security he requires or does not require. Farage thinks he’s already the PM. What are we to do offer close protection to any MP that feels they are a particular target? Any number of MPs could waltz into the chamber, utter something particularly controversial and then demand the full package of security as a result of it. The security services have a good idea of what security individual MPs require and they get it. Many backbenches receive higher numbers of threats than others and accordingly have more security as a result.

Well said, Edwina. 👏

Stop reviewing stuff and get on with the job for crying out loud!

This was an appalling act of violence against someone who has contributed so much to our national life. These are very concerning developments and the police must be given the resources and space they need so justice can be done as quickly as possible. My thoughts go out to Ann’s friends and family and all who loved her. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Right to mention @CommonsSpeaker @LindsayHoyle_MP in the work that he does day in day out to ensure Members of @HouseofCommons are kept safe.
