Tories wasting taxpayer’s money

Grateful to @RachelReevesMP for letting me intervene on her excellent budget response to raise this shocking waste of taxpayers’ money – paying the Science Secretary’s libel fees – which would have been much better spent supporting British scientists to drive economic growth. pic.twitter.com/K2E6pY6IpU — Chi Onwurah ????

Is the Home Office so perfect, that everything is going so well, that it should be above scrutiny? Or is it more the case that everything is going so badly, including on Rwanda, the asylum backlog and our border security, that there is no hope of improvement

David Neal's reports show the Tories have completely lost their grip on borders and immigration. I asked the Minister if he believes everything is perfectly fine in the Home Office, or if he recognised that the only hope of ending the chaos is a change in government. pic.twitter.com/RFmXPQkFEC — Chi Onwurah ????

Brilliant to hear from the Bicycle Association how they are working to ensure every child in Newcastle Central has the skills and bikes they need to cycle

Brilliant to hear from @BicycleAssociation how they are working to ensure every child in #NewcastleCentral has the skills and bikes they need to cycle. Cycling is so good for mental & physical wellbeing, and also for the environment. Every child deserves that chance! pic.twitter.com/VkpFtVRFMn — Chi Onwurah ???? (@ChiOnwurah) March 1, 2024

Violence against women and girls

Sarah Everard’s vile murder horrified the country and demonstrated how women’s voices and fears had been ignored. I told the Home Secretary his words & actions had to reflect that & asked him about information sharing between forces so predators like Couzens could be tracked. pic.twitter.com/qDgLD85WIt — Chi Onwurah ????

Many constituents have written to me upset at the difference they see in how Palestinian lives, Palestinian dignity and Islamophobia are valued in comparison with Israeli lives, Israeli dignity and antisemitism

Many in #Newcastle are upset by what they see as different value placed on Palestinian lives, dignity & Islamophobia and Israeli lives, dignity & antisemitism.I asked the Minister to condemn Israelis who reject a Palestinian state & the shocking actions by Israeli soldiers. pic.twitter.com/jjxcG3851g — Chi Onwurah ????
