| 20 May 2025 | Engagements “I think that I welcome what the Prime Minister has said, but we will look at the details. I hope that he will use some of these new proceeds to help others, like carers. The Government’s changes to the personal independence payment will have big consequences for family carers like Ginny, who cares for her husband Tim, …” economy-jobscost-of-livingfiscal-policy | 131 |
| 19 May 2025 | UK-EU Summit “I associate myself with the Prime Minister’s remarks about the appalling situation in Gaza. When he is working with our French and Canadian colleagues to put pressure on Netanyahu, will he consider, with the French, formally recognising the state of Palestine? Turning to the EU reset deal, the Prime Minister knows that…” economy-jobsdefenceimmigration | 317 |
| 13 May 2025 | Engagements “I thank the Prime Minister for that reply. It is a good first step, but we will still see people earning more in Amazon warehouses and supermarkets than in care homes, and that will mean our loved ones going without the care they need. Turning to the middle east, for more than 10 weeks Israeli forces have blocked food,…” economy-jobsimmigrationsocial-care | 160 |
| 13 May 2025 | Engagements “On behalf of my party, may I offer heartfelt congratulations to His Holiness Pope Leo XIV? May I also offer our support to the Prime Minister and his family after the appalling arson attacks on his home? I echo his thanks to our brilliant police and firefighters. Three years ago, the previous Government were faced with…” economy-jobsimmigrationsocial-care | 134 |
| 6 May 2025 | Engagements “I am disappointed by that answer, and I will keep coming back to hold the Prime Minister to account. People also want a Government who will stand up for our country against Donald Trump. First, he came for our steelworkers and our car makers with his outrageous tariffs. Now, Donald Trump is coming for our world-leading…” energyeconomy-jobscost-of-living | 96 |
| 6 May 2025 | Engagements “As we celebrate 80 years since Britain led our allies to victory over fascism, I pay tribute on behalf of the Liberal Democrats to all those who struggled and sacrificed so much for our freedoms today. I associate myself with the Prime Minister’s remarks about the conflict in Kashmir and, with him, urge restraint and d…” energyeconomy-jobscost-of-living | 195 |
| 29 Apr 2025 | Engagements “I am very disappointed by that reply, and the lack of a yes or no response. We want a vote, and we will keep pressing the Prime Minister and his Government on that. Turning to a domestic issue, my hon. Friend the Member for Dorking and Horley (Chris Coghlan) has taken up the cause of Fiona Laskaris, whose autistic adul…” crimeimmigrationhealth | 144 |
| 29 Apr 2025 | Engagements “On behalf of my party, may I send our congratulations to Mark Carney and the Liberal party of Canada on their historic victory? We wish them well, as Canada continues to stand up strongly to President Trump’s tariffs and threats. Canada has learned what happens when a trade deal is done with President Trump; he cannot …” crimeimmigrationhealth | 114 |
| 22 Apr 2025 | Engagements “Unlike the Prime Minister, we had a funded programme at the election. I am disappointed with his reply—I hope he will actually visit some of these hospitals to see the urgent need for rebuilding. At Merton Mead farm in Oxfordshire last week, I saw world-class British beef farmers at work. Farmers want the Prime Ministe…” economy-jobshealthsocial-care | 113 |
| 22 Apr 2025 | Engagements “I also wish the House and the country a happy St George’s day, and join the Prime Minister in paying tribute to the late Pope Francis. As a Christian, I found his compassion absolutely inspiring. My prayers are with Catholics in the UK and across the world, who will feel his loss particularly deeply. I have previously …” economy-jobshealthsocial-care | 136 |
| 11 Apr 2025 | Steel Industry (Special Measures) Bill “We will scrutinise this Bill today, but we want to do so in a constructive fashion. Given the huge damage that President Trump’s tariffs have done to the British steel industry, accelerating this crisis, does the Secretary of State agree that any Member of this House who actively campaigned for President Trump’s electi…” economy-jobsenergydefence | 67 |
| 1 Apr 2025 | Engagements “I associate myself with the Prime Minister’s earlier remarks, particularly about Myanmar and Thailand. I support the aid; despite the budget cuts, I hope we can be as generous as possible because of the humanitarian crisis there. The Prime Minister has shown commendable leadership over Ukraine, with his plan for a mili…” economy-jobsfiscal-policycost-of-living | 90 |
| 1 Apr 2025 | Engagements “I hope the Prime Minister is able to cut a deal, but I increasingly fear that the deal will not be good enough to avoid a global trade war. That is why one of the options must be to work with our European allies, our Commonwealth allies and others, because if we do not tackle Trump’s tariffs we could be saying goodbye …” economy-jobsfiscal-policycost-of-living | 178 |
| 26 Mar 2025 | Engagements “The British drama “Adolescence” has shone a much-needed spotlight on the enormous damage being done by social media to the minds of many of our young people, especially teenage boys. We have argued that social media giants should be much more toughly regulated and pay more tax, so that we can defend our young people fr…” healtheducationeconomy-jobs | 126 |
| 26 Mar 2025 | Engagements “I am grateful for the Prime Minister’s reply on the social media laws, but he did not answer the point on the digital services tax. We will come back to that. Moving on, after President Trump’s national security adviser accidentally added a journalist to a group chat that was discussing military action in Yemen, and gi…” healtheducationeconomy-jobs | 101 |
| 19 Mar 2025 | Engagements “I think the whole House is disappointed by that reply. I hope that, ahead of the spring statement, the Prime Minister and the Chancellor will think about taking that money from the NHS, and reverse that. I would like to turn to the issue of illegal hare coursing. Criminal gangs are terrorising rural communities across …” fiscal-policysocial-carehealth | 142 |
| 19 Mar 2025 | Engagements “I associate myself with the Prime Minister’s remarks on Ukraine and Gaza. I also pay tribute to Group Captain John “Paddy” Hemingway and all our heroes from the battle of Britain. Members across the House will, like me, have heard from GPs, dentists, community pharmacists and care homes who are all deeply worried about…” fiscal-policysocial-carehealth | 130 |
| 12 Mar 2025 | Engagements “Turning to international issues, can I congratulate the Prime Minister on helping to secure the restoration of US military and intelligence support for Ukraine? Can I press him on progress to persuade President Trump against the damaging metal tariffs that are already hitting British industry? The Prime Minister knows …” economy-jobsfiscal-policycost-of-living | 107 |
| 12 Mar 2025 | Engagements “I would like to begin by giving a shout-out for Young Carers Action Day, which is today, but I promise the House that I will not sing. The Prime Minister has rightly spoken about the need to get more people into work—he has repeated that today—so that people have more dignity, we can get the economy going, and we can c…” economy-jobsfiscal-policycost-of-living | 133 |
| 5 Mar 2025 | Engagements “The Prime Minister knows that we all support him in that effort, but may I take him back to President Trump’s reliability? Four British women have accused Andrew Tate of rape and human trafficking. British police have issued arrest warrants. The Tates have tried to escape justice, first to Romania and now to the United…” defenceeconomy-jobseducation | 112 |
