Jack Abbott’s ‘proudest moment’:

Today was one of my proudest moments as an MP.@jreynoldsMP and our Government have taken swift action to save British steel.

Under-investigation Tulip Siddiq hailed the ‘historic’ Saturday recall of Parliament. Apparently forgetting the last one happened in 2019…

Natalie Fleet took the opportunity to flaunt the fact she’s usually working in her constituency rather than Westminster on a Saturday:

Feels very strange being in Westminister with colleagues instead of South Normanton speaking to residents this morning!

Today, I’m proud to play my part as our Labour Government takes decisive action in the national interest to save British steel.#LaboursavesSteel pic.twitter.com/wjVySEx9F3

Sarah Sackman tweeted about how ‘moved’ she was to see colleagues make the journey to Westminster on a weekend:

#laboursavessteel

On my way in to Westminster to save British Steel. It’s very moving to see MPs and Parliament’s staff all dedicating their weekend to our country and its democracy.

Business secretary Reynolds used Saturday’s sitting as the perfect excuse for a photo op – snapped grinning alongside a gaggle of Labour MPs.
