Day 2 of my Political Summer School has begun!

@FloEshalomi

We’re starting the day with a fantastically engaging conversation with @FloEshalomi!

#MDCPolSchool

After lunch, my senior political advisor, Alfiaz Vaiya, used his experience to talk about the relationship between the House of Commons and House of Lords.

@Debbie_Abrahams

Then @Debbie_Abrahams gave an insight into her career, especially her important work on health inequalities in the NHS, as an academic, and as an MP.

We had a very entertaining run through the world of political communications and a varied life in politics from @KevinCraigUK of @PLMRLtd!

We finished the day with @thisisinsider’s politics reporter, @Direthoughts, with a great look into how political journalism works.

We started with a talk and a quick Q&A about my journey into politics and my role now.

The Tories have finally responded to the UN’s 2017 damning report on the impact of its policies on disabled people.

The response falls woefully short, again ignoring UN recommendations.
