On Thursday, the trial of Chow Hang‑tung, Albert Ho and Lee Cheuk‑yan begun in Hong Kong. Their “crime” was organising peaceful candlelight vigils to remember the victims of Tiananmen Square, a tradition kept alive for over 30 years before it was banned.

NATO's Article 5 has only ever been invoked once; when the US was attacked on 9/11.

The UK answered the call and 457 British service personnel were killed, with many more injured.

Donald Trump's comments are a disgrace.

Downing Street says Trump 'wrong' to claim Nato troops avoided Afghanistan front line
Veterans and bereaved families call the comments insulting, as the prime minister's spokesperson says

Northern Powerhouse Rail is a multi-billion pound commitment to the North and I absolutely welcome that the Government will now prioritise Yorkshire as part of Phase 1.

Alongside this, we must also deliver the West Yorkshire Tram, which links Leeds and Bradford, as soon as possible.

Where are the most dangerous roads in Leeds South West & Morley? People who live here know the answers.

But even when residents know a road is dangerous, we're often told that a fatality has to occur, or that the mean average speed must be higher, before something is done:

Organisations like Leeds Women's Aid do essential work for some of the most vulnerable women in our city.

One of the issues they have raised with me consistently is the amount of time they have to dedicate to making applications for short-term grants. I asked the minister to address this point.

Those who step up to provide a loving home for children who wouldn't otherwise have one, deserve our support.

My constituent is a hero for taking 7 children into her care when she was asked to. I used the last day in Parliament to highlight her case and cause with the Leader of the House.

Chanukah is meant to be a festival of joy, but the Jewish community has been subject to an evil antisemitic attack on the first day.

This is what “globalise the intifada” looks like. There should be no place for antisemitism.

We must defeat the world’s oldest hatred.
