Some MPs are briefing newspapers that they'd stand down if they couldn't have second jobs as they couldn't possibly live on £82,000 per year.
Good riddance I say. How out of touch are these people?
MPs are in the top 5% of earners. That's plenty enough. Ban second jobs for MPs.

The @ukhomeoffice & @pritipatel have consistently claimed that they have paid out 31 million in compensation to #Windrushvictims yet there has been no evidence to support their claims .Today we ask the @CommonsHomeAffs & @CommonsECC to request the breakdown of these figures.

Did you know Altheia Jones-Lecointe was at the forefront of the black power movement in the UK?
She was one of the Mangrove Nine who took on and defeated the police in a landmark trial.

Victims of the #WindrushScandal pursue legal proceedings against @ukhomeoffice over delays in issuing compensation.
We're pleased to be launching a new Windrush Justice Clinic this month, where we'll work on similar cases with victims. Watch this space.

Just in complete shock regarding the death of Maxine.I have known her for over 20 yrs plus as a founder of her consultancy and dedicated activist of the Labour Party a keen champion of black representation at levels. We must leave a legacy to reflect our passions and commitment.
All our photos of @maxinejames show her displaying her trademark grin! :-). We look at them and smile, even in our grief....but that is @maxinejames. And that is why we celebrate & remember her today, and every day. @JennetteArnold @ppvernon @CeliaHibbert @ManleyNanda @dothodge
