3 Jul 2026Housing & Planningempathetic“My constituents tell me they feel “prisoners” in their home, in properties owned by the St Mary Magdalene and Holy Jesus Trust, which exploits a charity loophole to deny lease extensions. The Government s Leasehold Reform Bill must mean liberty for them!”↗
2 Jul 2026Social Caremeasured“I echoed the PM's tribute to the women and families who suffered and struggled terribly for the Forced Adoption Apology.
