Jessica Morden Jessica Morden - Labour MP for Newport East, Shadow Deputy Leader of the House of Commons and PPS to Keir Starmer
Yesterday in Parliament MPs voted on Labour’s amendment to the Fire Safety Bill.
As a teller for the ayes, alongside Bambos Charalambous, I recorded the number of those voting in favour of Labour’s amendment to the bill. Unfortunately, we were defeated by the Conservatives by 318-188.
Not only does this break the Government’s promise to implement the recommendations from Phase 1 of the Grenfell Inquiry but their refusal to take action leaves thousands of people in unsafe housing. #Justice4Grenfell
