23 Jun 2026Jobs & Employmentmeasured“I haven’t done a today in Parliament for a while, so… Today I am hosting Unite officers and reps from automotive meeting the minister and MPs, and speaking at the All-Party Group on Manufacturing’s energy costs roundtable (1/”↗
22 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“Keir Starmer changed our party and our country for the better He made the UK respected in the world again, led huge improvements in workers’ and renters’ rights, and lifted half a million children out of poverty. Thank you Keir.”↗
21 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)sarcastic“You can try rearming and transitioning to EVs and clean energy whilst shedding jobs and making nothing - I don’t think your political programme will enjoy public support for long term”↗
21 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“No-one is arguing for the return of mass consumer goods manufacturing. But we are great at advanced manufacturing (automotive, clean energy, defence) and still have a huge food manufacturing base too. And, in an insecure world, having domestic capabilities matters”↗
21 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“If we’re doing manufacturing discourse: UK manufacturing delivers about 10% of GDP but drives 42% of exports and nearly half of business R&D, pays around £40k a year (above average), and supports 2.3m jobs - with 50k vacancies”↗
20 Jun 2026Othermeasured“One of the only reasons this country isn’t polarised like the US is cos of the BBC’s balanced public service remit. Incredibly important we preserve that.”↗
20 Jun 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured“They aren’t alternatives - we need to do both (and more…)”↗
20 Jun 2026Othermeasured“No. I don’t think politicians are the right people to tell independent media outlets what to cover and how - and I am sure you agree, on reflection”↗
20 Jun 2026Othercelebratory“Fantastic news. Need to be really clear this is about being proud of how we do things in the UK and not wanting to be dictated to by the American Wild West approach Oh, and let’s give up on this “start voluntary” stuff. JFDI.”↗
18 Jun 2026Othermeasured“Oh I don’t agree at all. We get to set the conditions of business in our country.”↗
18 Jun 2026Jobs & Employmentcelebratory“Thousands of outsourced workers coming back in-house: this is what it means to have a Labour Chancellor working with trade unions to make sure work really does pay for working class women and men”↗
18 Jun 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured“The problem is: I want democracy protected and racism fringe again. I think it’s a regulatory/legislative issue primarily - though leadership does help too”↗
18 Jun 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“I have *so much* disrepair casework - so much overcrowding too. It’s great that more help is coming to support people to raise these issues - thank you. Been a long time since I worked with Oak.”↗
18 Jun 2026Technology & Digitaldefensive“Please don’t reply moaning at me still being on X. It is a collective action problem: I am arguing for government leadership in their professional comms and for structural regulatory/legislative change to control platform behaviour”↗
18 Jun 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“I don’t think we have relevant housing focussed groups in my ends - we are very light on TRAs etc. but loads of potential to create new groups and piggyback on existing initiatives”↗
18 Jun 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured“It has long been an open question as to how departments and public bodies believe that X meets the SAFE framework that the government communications service uses to assess platform suitability. I have never got a clear answer to this question.”↗
18 Jun 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“This looks fantastic - assume it’s PRS or is it social renters too? I’d love to hear more about the Sandwell programme.”↗
18 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)celebratory“Great piece from Tony Burke, formerly of Unite, about developments in the UK car industry - it’s great news that Chery are taking on one of the lines at Nissan in Sunderland yorkshirebylines.co.uk/business/tra...”↗
18 Jun 2026Social Carecelebratory“Huge action. There won’t be any unregistered homes soon - cos we have introduced huge penalties for not registering. We are pushing fostering routes hard, cracking down on financialisation, and properly investing in safeguarding”↗
17 Jun 2026Jobs & Employmentdefensive“Read my post again. Of course they do. That’s the point.”↗
17 Jun 2026Social Carecelebratory“We’ve done loads on children’s homes - more powers to regulate providers, more scrutiny of profits and ownership, and a deliberate shift away from over‑use”↗
17 Jun 2026Jobs & Employmentcelebratory“Bloody love the insourcing of cleaning, facilities and security across the civil service announced today, thanks to the Chancellor and the unions for pushing it No more outsourcing. Decent rights for everyone. Labour looking after the working class - just as we were formed to do”↗
17 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“Stood to argue for the downstream steel industry at the UQ about steel tariffs - ministers have got the detail wrong, need to look again, and need to protect fabricators”↗
16 Jun 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured“That’s the Times reporting on a report by the EV lobby groups, not their editorial view. It’s a good balanced piece on the issue, recommend reading in full. It’s okay for there to be disagreements about how we meet a target we all agree must be met”↗
15 Jun 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured“Not just on X. I was asked about this in person in the pub on Sunday lunchtime after the Remembrance parade last November…”↗
15 Jun 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured“Yes. £4.5k of that was government incentive (assuming you didn’t buy luxury and it was uk/EU made) the rest was the company”↗
15 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“No, the growth impact would be when a car company withdraws from a UK location (very very possible) and we suddenly have thousands of unemployed people. This is reconfiguring a target so it stays practical not abandoning it”↗
15 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“Yes. But (a) they are buying credits and subsidising cars to the tune of thousands and buying them up themselves then selling and (b) the target gets much much steeper very fast We are in a global market for investment and companies will set up new lines in other places if we don’t act”↗
14 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentangry“Absolutely infuriating that one of my colleagues has decided that what Parliament should focus on in the coming months - given everything going on in the world and here at home - is bringing back the assisted dying bill. Head in hands.”↗
14 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“All there will be to buy is Chinese EVs if we’re not careful - we want to retain our brilliant domestic auto manufacturing”↗
