Never underestimate the power of kindness. When far-right rioters took to the streets back in August, 100's took to the streets to show those targeted that they were not alone. This act of kindness cost nothing, but it meant everything to people seeking safety across the UK.

Can we once and for all dispense with this tedious "But he always took the bins out and said hello" commentary, as if there was a contradiction here that needed explaining. Violent men ARE "nice guys". They're nice to everyone but the women they abuse. That's the whole point.

💜💚💜 Congratulations to all the 263 women MPs in our new parliament. You now make up 40.46% of MPs. Significant progress on 35% before. Some sadly not returning, but we are retaining & gaining many, many more. Onwards and upwards. @CentenaryAction @fawcettsociety #SheVotes24

Just to say that within minutes of Kate Kniveton having lost her seat, she messaged me to ask me to carry on her work on family courts. Not my party, but that my friends, is what a decent representative would do.

Walthamstow from the bottom of my heart I am truly grateful to be re elected to represent our community in Westminster - we have rejected the hatred and division so many wish to foster and I will do everything to stand up and speak up for the future of hope and change we need.

Dealing with #arthritis is a journey filled with challenges, no matter your age. Imagine navigating this journey at school like Sfiyah. The next UK Government must #TakeArthritisSeriously. walesonline.co.uk/news/healt… #JIA

Roberta has #osteoarthritis. She had to wait in #pain for over a year for her hip replacement. "My life was on hold and that was very depressing. We were offered no support, so my partner had to do everything, and that was so hard on him." Read more: versusarthritis.org/news/202…

Lots of people asking me where I was when Sunak announced the election. I was inside, because it was raining. Only an idiot would have gone out in that... #GeneralElection
