This is heartbreaking, and an absolute disgrace. This kind of hate crime has no place anywhere, and especially not in an area as welcoming and proudly diverse as Forest Gate. 🏳️🌈

🧵🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 This morning, residents alerted us to a hate crime as someone had defaced our Progress Rainbow flag outside Forest Gate Station, which is a celebration of our diversity.
We are reporting it to

Relentless hate, which undermines a symbol Forest Gate residents voted for in an open process. Please rest assured the team is working on a solution to this together 🫶🏻
I’m sorry to share these images. Sadly, once again, the flags in Forest Gate have been defaced.
I will do everything in my power to tackle LGBT+ hate crime.
I know the fear and hurt this causes.
I’ll work with Newham Council, local police & the Minister for equalities on this

Absolutely. Childcare is too often talked about as a ‘women’s issue’ or a nice to have - it’s critical infrastructure, integral to any sensible economic strategy
Childcare has been broken by the Conservatives.
Labour will make lasting change to how we think about childcare, integrating it into our education system so parents have flexibility and children get the best start in life.

👏🏻 evidence on cash transfers is really strong.
“Recent studies have debunked stereotypes about cash transfers causing dependency, increasing consumption of temptation goods…cash payments to poor households cause improvements in consumption, savings, nutrition, mental health”
The Tories are failing families and denying our kids opportunities that help them thrive.
While Tory leadership candidates compete to damage our country, Labour would be putting money in families’ pockets — tackling the cost of living crisis right now.

💥JRF have found that Newham has *the highest* destitution rate in the whole country - the proud, wonderful people who live here have been let down. We need urgent change, starting with fair pay, many more affordable, decent homes, and an end to no-fault evictions
Destitution has ⬆️ across the UK, but particularly in London, Wales and the West Midlands.
In Scotland destitution ⬆️ much more slowly.
Newham, Manchester and Middlesbrough were the local authorities with the highest rates of destitution.
