Disability benefit cuts will push over 250,000 people, including 50,000 children, into poverty. So I asked the Chancellor — who earns over £150,000, accepted £7,500 in free clothes & took freebie tickets to see Sabrina Carpenter — if Austerity 2.0 is the "change" people voted for?

Enjoyed speaking to Warwick’s History Department about my journey into politics & my experiences as a young woman of colour. As I said, from the Chartists & suffragettes to today’s fights for fair pay & renters’ rights, we know that progress is won through collective struggle. Onwards! ✊🏽
