This week I attended the APPG on Knife Crime’s first meeting to help get it up and running again. No child, in Hackney or anywhere else, should be afraid to walk around their neighbourhood.
See me discuss this and more in my new weekly round-up.
My week began on Monday with moving testimony from a Holocaust survivor at Holocaust Memorial Day. It was a timely reminder that we must stand up to anti-Semitism wherever we see it.
This week I also challenged the Prime Minister over the GP shortages crisis and the health minister over delays in the breast cancer screening programme.
I was also confirmed as the Chair of the Public Accounts Committee. I’m looking forward to taking up the reins again and challenging the Government over how it spends your money.
See me discuss this and more in my new weekly round-up.
This week:
- The Withdrawal Agreement Bill passed through Parliament and became law
- The Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government agreed to meet with me in February to discuss unsafe cladding in Hackney
- I put my hat in the ring to be Chair of the Public Accounts Committee
I will be voting against the Queen's Speech because:
❌ It doesn’t act with the urgency the climate emergency demands]
❌ It lowers food safety standards
❌ It fails to properly fund the NHS
See me discuss this and more in my new weekly round-up.
It’s been a busy week back in Westminster. For an update on Brexit and more, see my weekly round-up.
Today I voted against the Withdrawal Agreement Bill, which:
❌Weakens workers’ rights, consumer and environmental protections
❌ Scraps legal protections for refugee children
❌ Paves the way for a no deal Brexit.
This is what the Tories can do when they have a big majority.
As the Labour and Co-op candidate for Hackney South and Shoreditch, I'm still here to help you.
Please email meghilliermp@parliament.uk if you need my help.
See my final round-up as Parliament is dissolved.
December 12th is our chance to elect a truly transformational Labour Government.
See me discuss why only Labour will give the public a final say on Brexit, invest properly in our public services, and put the climate emergency top of the agenda.
The PM is up to his tricks again. He is trying to bounce Parliament into passing his Brexit deal without proper scrutiny. Scrutinising Brexit cannot and should not be done on the fly.
See me discuss this as well as HMRC’s mishandling of tax credits. Also in an upcoming session the Public Accounts Committee will be challenging government officials over Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) funding so please let me know if you have any experiences you’d like to share.
