This is Kirsty McNeill's maiden speech as Labour MP for Midlothian where she makes her "solemn commitment" to the children of Midlothian that she will be their "champion".

"We are all of us products of investments made in us as children" - how true Kirsty.

She voted to keep the two-child benefit cap.

I worked in Education in Midlothian for many years and saw first-hand the child poverty that exists there.

My comment in the German taz, about what the Labour government is...

Nach 16 Jahren Tories könnte die Starmer-Regierung ein Befreiungsschlag sein. Bei der Kinderarmut setzt sie aber schon jetzt die falschen Prioritäten. taz.de/!6022240/ via @tazgetroete @keir_starmer ,

Keir Starver should grow a pair of bollux and search for his heart.

"Labour’s position is that we can’t mitigate against poverty because we’re skint. But resource allocation is the ultimate political choice. "

Politics is about priorities as much as it is about cost. Consider 's refusal to abolish the despite the overwhelming case against it.

Abolition would cost £1.3bn. The entirely unnecessary road scheme was initially costed at £1.7bn. Who knows what it would cost now.

So if Starmer scrapped the Stonehenge scheme then his putative future government would be quids in.

Then there's, God forbid, taxing the wealthy. A Tory sin.

Some people are saying Keir Starmer has destroyed the Labour Party. No the Labour Party will survive, but it’ll survive as a right wing party (replacing the Tories, who will be destroyed). If you want a party that’ll offer the change this country needs you need to look elsewhere
