Parliament authorities have asked if I can fly my #ENG flag inside the office window; we’ve negotiated that it will stay outside the window until after the match. Arguably more negotiating progress than the Government has managed in two years. #ThreeLions

Lots of people asking for my views: ➡️I voted and campaigned for Remain in 2016 ➡️I believe there should be a Confirmatory Vote on a Brexit deal with Remain as an option on the ballot ➡️In any such vote I would vote Remain

Happy #EuropeDay , everyone. Despite its imperfections, the EU remains an important, noble endeavor built on values we should never take for granted. It will always remain nothing but an incredible honour to have served as a member of the European Parliament. #EuropeDay2020 🇪🇺

Many of us raised concerns when we were first briefed by Govt officials on the Settled Status scheme and predicted that this would happen to our consistuents and fellow citizens. Did you, Daniel?

I have had constituency cases of EU nationals being denied settled status despite living here for years. This is a breach of the assurances I and other Leavers gave during the referendum. Please help sort this out @patel4witham before we end up with another Windrush scandal.

As I said yesterday, @AlbertoCostaMP should be given credit for tabling this amendment, not the sack. #CostaAmendment

1/4 Can’t begin to say how brilliant it is to see my amendment in black and white on the order paper today. I’m hugely grateful to those colleagues who have very kindly supported my amendment to ringfence rights for those EU citizens in the UK and those in UK citizens in the EU.

Great to be in Hinckley this morning. Lots of people telling us they are utterly fed up with the Conservatives. Strong and positive support for our @UKLabour plans to get more police into communities to make our streets safer #Rory4PCC #VoteLabour

To those concerned about the cost of the Police Commissioner role: I agree. That’s why I will reduce the costs of the Police Commissioner role in Leicestershire & Rutland and move more funding to frontline work in communities.

Interesting - local papers across ‘Red Wall’ seats in North Nottinghamshire, inc Worksop Guardian, Mansfield & Ashfield Chad, Eastwood & Kimberley Advertiser and Hucknall Dispatch - calling for a General Election. They are right to do so👇
