My thoughts are with those affected by Storm Bert & I thank our emergency services on the frontline. With extreme weather rising due to climate change, fire services need urgent funding. England is the only part of the UK without a statutory duty for flooding. This must change. https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1861168870565810606/video/1 [Source] -

The cost-of-living crisis is far from over, yet the government’s 50% increase to the bus fare cap is a political choice, adding hundreds to annual costs. To address hardship & the climate crisis, the government must keep the £2 cap & make public transport accessible for all. https://x.com/zarahsultana/status/1858598986040680829/video/1 [Source] -
5 Nov 2024: Parliamentary Speech
Ending austerity is not just about stopping cuts; it is about real action to lift people out of poverty. The critical first step must be to scrap the two-child benefit cap, which unfairly punishes families for having more than two children. If it remains, according to the Resolution Foundation an additional 63,000 children will be in poverty by 2025. We must scrap it immediately. We must also reverse the means-testing of winter fuel payments. No pensioner should have to choose between heating and eating in a cost of living crisis. Providing warmth to those at risk should be non-negotiable for a Labour Government. The 50% rise in bus fare cap is equally unacceptable. Affordable public transport is vital for low-income families, students and those without cars. Increasing fares deepens and entrenches inequality, and hinders our climate goals.
Finally, we need a bold economic plan to secure our future, with a worker-led just transition to renewable energy, creating thousands of unionised jobs and ensuring that no one is left behind. My constituents in Coventry South and communities across the UK deserve a Budget that marks the end of austerity with action not just words, and with a true commitment to ending poverty.

Taxpayers compensated descendants of slave owners until 2015. It’s time for the UK government to apologise & pay reparations for its role in the Caribbean slave trade. Addressing historical injustices is crucial in tackling the climate crisis & supporting those most impacted. [Source] -

Google provided £10,000 of hospitality to senior Labour figures & the party ditched plans to raise the Digital Services Tax. Quadrature, a Cayman Islands hedge-fund which invests in fossil fuels, donated £4m & its climate advisory board co-chair is now Climate Envoy. It stinks. [Source]
