12 Jun 2026Social CareempatheticIt is vital that the Department treats all claimants with dignity, compassion, and urgency, especially those claimants at risk (vulnerable). Read the Committee's 2025 report here: committees.parliament.uk/publications... (3/3)
12 Jun 2026Social CaremeasuredThis included where #PersonalIndependencePayment claimants had taken their lives when their claims were stopped.

12 Jun 2026Social CaremeasuredLast May 2025, the #WorkandPensionsCommittee published its report for the 'Safeguarding Vulnerable Claimants' inquiry. This was launched in response to serious concerns about #DWP's safeguarding practices in cases which involved the deaths of claimants. (1/3)
10 Jun 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredI raised this with the Foreign Secretary, and called on her to outline the consequences for any business or entity in the UK that chooses to breach the UK's Overseas business risk guidance. (2/2)
10 Jun 2026Defence & SecurityangryAction to deter businesses in the UK from taking part in the construction of illegal Israeli settlements is welcome, but I was deeply disturbed to learn of a real estate event scheduled to take place in London this weekend, selling land in an illegal settlement in the occupied West Bank. (1/2)
10 Jun 2026Health & NHSmeasuredIt is vital that the Health Bill gives local health economies the ability to decide for themselves whether or not they need to procure additional capacity from the private sector, to reduce health inequalities in access and outcomes as well ensuring consistent quality of care for patients. (2/2)
10 Jun 2026Health & NHSmeasuredIn my time as Chair of the Rochdale Primary Care NHS Trust, I witnessed first hand how marketised healthcare systems - such as the #NHS - lead to higher health inequalities. (1/2)
9 Jun 2026Local GovernmentmeasuredOne of the issues raised most frequently with me is littering. It is unacceptable, and I am in close contact with @oldhamcouncil.bsky.social on this. If you see litter or fly tipping in your area, contact my office at abrahamsd@parliament.uk or 0161 624 4248 and we will raise it with the Council.

3 Jun 2026Jobs & EmploymentmeasuredThe #WorkandPensionsCommittee has highlighted the impact that experiences of poverty in childhood have on someone's likelihood to become NEET, but I wanted to ask what recognition is being given to the need to similarly champion disabled people being given greater support into employment.
3 Jun 2026EducationmeasuredAlan Milburn's important interim report has attracted welcome attention to the plights facing the more than a million 16 to 24 year olds who are not in education, employment or training (NEET).
30 May 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredRead my response to Sir Tony Blair's essay on the futures of the Labour Party, the UK, and the new world order!
28 May 2026Jobs & EmploymentempatheticWe cannot allow a young person’s future to be determined by poverty, ill health or lack of support. Every young person deserves the chance to thrive. #YouthEmployment #YouthOpportunities #EmploymentSupport #DWP #SocialSecurity #DisabilityInclusion
28 May 2026Jobs & EmploymentmeasuredAs Alan Milburn’s interim review highlights, tackling youth inactivity will require long-term, joined-up action across Government, including a social security system that recognises barriers, not one that entrenches them.
28 May 2026Jobs & EmploymentmeasuredYoung people are not a “snowflake generation”, they face deep and systemic barriers to work, education and training. The evidence heard by the #WorkandPensionsCommittee is clear: young people want to work, succeed and contribute, but too often the support they need simply isn’t there.
28 May 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredThe UK must join Ireland in this action, taking a stand for #InternationalLaw, and #peace and #justice in the Middle East.
28 May 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredI strongly welcome the Irish Government's announcement that it will ban trade in goods with illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied State of Palestine. This is a step in the right direction, although trade in services and investments also should be banned.
27 May 2026Local GovernmentcelebratoryGreat to campaign for my good friend @andyburnham.bsky.social in #Makerfield. Andy has spent 9 years making #GreaterManchester fairer, more vibrant, and more prosperous. As Makerfield's MP, he would champion his constituents, Manchester, and all of us. Vote #AndyBurnham on 18th June. #ForUs
24 May 2026Jobs & EmploymentmeasuredThe Committee also recommends that employers respond to requests for reasonable adjustments within two weeks, helping ensure disabled workers receive timely support to thrive at work. Read the full report here: committees.parliament.uk/publications...
24 May 2026Jobs & EmploymentmeasuredIt sets out how workplaces can become more inclusive and accessible for disabled people - from improving flexible working and recruitment practices, to strengthening awareness of rights and access to assistive technology.
24 May 2026Jobs & EmploymentmeasuredOn Thursday, the #WorkAndPensionsSelectCommittee published its report, 'Employment support for disabled people: Disability at Work'.
23 May 2026EducationmeasuredI was therefore eager to hear Mr Milburn's perspective on where successive governments have fallen short in identifying all of the relevant risk factors for a young person becoming NEET.
23 May 2026EducationmeasuredResearch shows that roughly 53% of the UK's NEET (young people not in education, employment or training) cases are attributable to persistent poverty.
