Shocks from Trump’s war are colliding with a brutal cost-of-living crisis, and our unequal society. Ordinary people feel the pain- the rich profit. Crisis exposes these fault lines. This must be a turning point: bring down bills, block price-gouging on essentials and cap rents.

I’ve worked with experts on a gold-standard Bill to stop fox hunting. We’ve got one chance to get this right. Lobbyists want loopholes so hunting can continue. It happened with the Hunting Act and it will happen again if the law isn’t watertight. Ministers should back my Bill.

Oil companies have doubled their profits amid the chaos caused by Trump’s war. Those rising prices hit the entire country - at the pump, on energy bills and in the cost of food. Labour has to shield ordinary people from the shockwaves of this crisis. Tax all war profiteering.

But replacing it with a private pension style scheme misses what the state pension is for. It’s intergenerational solidarity-transferring money from one generation to another. That’s what National Insurance does. We need to defend the state pension. Not throw it out the window.

The TBI have indentified some of the problems with the state pension, but drawn the wrong conclusions. The level of the state pension remains too low and the state pension age is too high - being out of reach for many with a shorter life expectancy.

Pension spending must be contained, and that means the triple lock cannot continue after the next Election. But that should only be the first step. Real reform must also build a better system: one that is fairer, more flexible, and designed for how people live today.

Anti-fascists campaigned to defeat the BNP and the National Front before them. Most people oppose these racist parties that hate our country. Why are former BNP figures now turning up in Reform?

Oil firms are raking in billions from Trump’s war in Iran. A crisis for the world is a payday for them. Some politicians are calling to take money off pensioners or disabled people. Tax these profiteers instead.

I’m calling for a ban on firms that donate to political parties from winning government contracts. Politics is too close to big money. It raises questions on who our democracy serves. Break the link - show Labour stands for the public interest, not private profit.

Social security isn’t a pot of money to pilfer for spending sprees or cuts. Most goes to pensioners - earned over a lifetime of work. The language of “difficult choices” too often ends with ordinary people paying the price. There are fairer, more Labour ways to raise money.

Cut pensions to fund defence? That'd be electorally unwise and socially irresponsible ✍️ @NeilForPoole politicshome.com/opinion/articl…

I presented my Bill to stop fox hunting to Parliament. The Hunting Act failed because it's full of loopholes. Animal lovers won't be forgiving if we repeat that mistake. The Government's reforms will be measured against this gold-standard Bill. Half measures won't cut it.

Peter Mandelson has been a walking scandal since the 90s. It was common knowledge that he was an associate of the world's most famous paedophile. The Prime Minister knew all of this, so why did he appoint him?

Pension funds must divest from fossil fuels. It's bad for the planet & for pension holders who need long-term returns. There is no retirement without a liveable planet. Affordable housing we need & green energy to cut bills are stable investments that benefit those paying in.

I’m campaigning against the Government’s “Earned Settlement” plans. They punish low-paid workers for being low-paid. Carers, cleaners and rail staff who keep the country moving. There is a real risk of a Windrush-style scandal for families who have built their lives here.

The poorest shouldn’t have to pay for Trump’s war. No more cuts: protect people, not profits.

Labour promised public ownership of our railways. Most people would think that includes ... trains. Private firms made millions ripping passengers off. The Railways Bill is our chance to put that right - my plan would bring rolling stock into public hands and finish the job.

We’ve got to keep up the fight to protect disabled people’s incomes. Cutting support for young disabled people won’t get them into work - it will push them into poverty. We need to reverse last year’s cuts and fight the growing calls to take even more from disabled people.

Too many Poole families face the worst of both worlds. Low wages and sky-high housing costs. Local Housing Allowance is meant to bridge the gap. But it’s been frozen while rents keep rising. We need higher wages and a safety net that works - so no one is left behind.
