My Message to Braverman? Get the Job Done

The Chaos at Dover Must be Fixed

The chaos at Dover must be fixed. But the Tories have resorted to short-changing communities by taking money meant for boosting local jobs & high streets, in a desperate attempt to fix our broken borders. So much for levelling up. Read my piece in the Daily Mirror: Tory levelling-up cash…

Tory Ministers Paying Consultants to do their Jobs

My Piece on Dangerous Channel Crossings in The Times

The Tories’ costly and illegal Migration Bill is a sham, designed only to chase headlines. It won’t work and will make the situation worse. Labour has a comprehensive plan to stop the crossings and fix our broken asylum system. My piece in The Times: “The prime minister and the home…

Celtic Freeport Bid in The Mirror

The Celtic Freeport bid isn’t just about transactions, it’s about transformation. Wales was the cradle of the first Industrial Revolution – it can be the cradle of the Green Industrial Revolution.

We Cannot Afford To Lose The British Steel Industry
