16 Jun 2026Utilities & Watermeasured“Claiming that taking water into public ownership would be too expensive simply doesn't add up - given Thames Water's repair bills vastly outweigh it's market value to the tune of billions, its value is nil. It's time to end the failed experiment of privatisation and run water for public benefit.”↗
16 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“I have added my name to the 1000+ signatories of the "roadmap for eradicating poverty beyond growth", recognising that an endless pursuit of economic growth at any cost which fails to tackle inequality or protect the planet is no true marker of "success" at all.”↗
16 Jun 2026Environmentcelebratory“Sir David Attenborough has served as a lifelong champion for the natural world and of the action needed to tackle climate breakdown - it's absolutely right that his decades of work should be properly recognised💚”↗
16 Jun 2026Culture & Communityempathetic“Jo Cox was a brilliant politician and tireless advocate for unity and connection over division. Ten years on from her tragic murder, her legacy lives on through her family, friends, colleagues, and the fantastic work being done in her name. Learn more about the work of Jo Cox foundation here:”↗
13 Jun 2026Tax & Public Financesmeasured“The government has committed to holding a summit on tackling illicit financial flows - now we need to ensure that actions are put in place which match the scale of the threat dirty money poses to our democracy and politics.”↗
12 Jun 2026Crime & Policingangry“Sentencing protesters as terrorists when they have not been convicted of terrorism offences is massively concerning and flies in the face of justice. Their sentences must be reviewed.”↗
12 Jun 2026Othermeasured“I have written to the Minister for Women and Equalities to reflect the concerns of my constituents about the EHRC Code of Practice, and to urge her to allow a free vote on the guidance in Parliament. Trans people, like all people, deserve to live in dignity and safety - their voices must be heard.”↗
12 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Absolutely delighted to see the govt finally confirm the new Natural History GCSE, a long-running Green Party campaign. Now let’s make sure it truly equips young people to protect nature & tackle the climate crisis - take part in the consultation on subject content here:”↗
11 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“Deeply concerning to see the Defence Secretary has resigned over internal defence funding disputes. As Britain faces down dire threats, from cyberwarfare to climate breakdown, the public needs to see a genuine strategic approach to security - not more division and delay.”↗
10 Jun 2026Defence & Securityangry“The UK govt's piecemeal sanctions and "guidance" regarding illegal settlements in Palestine are simply not enough. We need genuine action in the face of repeated war crimes and abuses by the Israeli govt - sanctions on senior Israeli govt officials & a ban on settlement trade.”↗
10 Jun 2026Crime & Policingangry“Horrified by the attempts of bad-faith actors to use Monday's brutal attack as justification to enact violence, disorder, and the targeting of immigrants and people of colour across Belfast. Hatred has no place in the UK - nor should politicians who seek to incite it.”↗
9 Jun 2026Othermeasured“The PSED and Equality Act exist precisely because we know a more equal society will not just happen by accident - it must be demanded, and robustly defended. The Green Party will oppose any attempt to undermine action for equality and the fight for a fairer, better Britain.”↗
9 Jun 2026Othermeasured“We cannot roll back vital protections when the work to build a fairer, more just society is nowhere near accomplished - it is clear that bias and discrimination remain far too widespread in society and public services.”↗
9 Jun 2026Otherangry“The Tories' proposal to scrap the Public Sector Equality Duty is utterly backwards thinking. It is not "common sense" to repeal a duty to promote equality in our public institutions - it's performative cruelty for the sake of headlines.”↗
9 Jun 2026Social Careempathetic“Unpaid carers provide vital support and prop up the NHS and care sector - yet too many are themselves left to struggle without the support they need. This #CarersWeek, I urged the govt to take action to provide greater respite care and ease the strain on unpaid carers now.”↗
9 Jun 2026Utilities & Watermeasured“Water outages in Withington have been hugely frustrating for local residents and businesses - so it was a massive relief to hear Welsh Water commit to a undertaking full review and improvements to solve the issue at a public meeting last week.”↗
8 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“A return to full-scale conflict between Israel and Iran will endanger countless lives, worsen humanitarian crises, and risk dragging the entire region into renewed instability. The pathway to peace will be achieved through diplomacy and deescalation, not yet more bloodshed.”↗
5 Jun 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“It's #DiscoverYourLibrary Day! We're lucky to have so many brilliant libraries across North Herefordshire providing free access to books, eBooks, audiobooks and loads more resources, so definitely drop in if you can! Many thanks to Leominster Library for hosting me today📚✏️”↗
5 Jun 2026Energy & Net Zerocelebratory“Absolutely brilliant to spend a day learning more about the Warm Homes Scheme in North Herefordshire and getting to see some of the clean energy upgrades that have already been installed for a number of households in the constituency!”↗
4 Jun 2026Social Careangry“The proposed EHRC Code of Practice is unfit for purpose and places trans people at serious risk of violence and discrimination. It is vital that guidance protects the rights of all people to live their lives with peace, privacy, and dignity.”↗
2 Jun 2026Crime & Policingangry“The Mandelson scandal must lead to a fundamental change in the political establishment's treatment of the brave women and girls who speak out about horrific abuse at the hands of men like Jeffrey Epstein - and the treatment of those who support, enable, or allow those abuses.”↗
1 Jun 2026Defence & Securityangry“Israel's escalating military campaign in southern Lebanon has already killed thousands of people and forced more than a million from their homes. This utter disregard for civilian lives is inexcusable. We saw these patterns in Gaza - it cannot happen again in Lebanon.”↗
28 May 2026Defence & Securityangry“Once again the UK govt condemns Israel's actions and says they are prepared to take further action - then fail to do so. This inaction is unacceptable. Ban settlement trade, sanction Netanyahu, stop all military cooperation with Israel, punish war crimes.”↗
27 May 2026Health & NHScelebratory“On Emergency Medicine Day, we recognise the life-saving work of emergency medicine professionals working in A&Es across the UK, including all those in my local department at Wye Valley NHS Trust, who do incredible work despite the significant pressures facing the NHS. #EMday26”↗
27 May 2026Health & NHScelebratory“Thrilled to have taken part in the Herefordshire @mind.org.uk Challenge in support of mental health! Great to have really powerful conversations about the huge value of mental health support that organisations like Mind offer.”↗
26 May 2026Environmentcelebratory“Honoured to take part in the launch of the River Wye charter, a landmark recognition of the rights of our beloved river and the urgent need to do everything possible to protect and restore the Wye catchment💚”↗
26 May 2026Defence & Securityangry“The latest US strikes on Iran, in the midst of a ceasefire and ongoing peace negotiations, are hugely dangerous. It is crucial that the UK do everything possible to support diplomatic efforts and pressure the US into ending this illegal war.”↗
26 May 2026Culture & Communitymeasured“The application deadline for the latest round of my Constituency Fund is coming up on May 31st! North Herefordshire charities or CICs can apply for funding for a project to tackle inequality through care and creativity. Find out more details here: elliechowns.org.uk/constituency...”↗
21 May 2026Cost of Livingmeasured“Struggling families need support all year, not just for the summer. That means going much further than the measures announced today to tackle cost-of-living: bringing in free bus travel for under 22s, universal free school meals, and more.”↗
21 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“It shouldn't take five months for a government department to respond to a member of the public or to an MP when a case has been raised. The system must work better to ensure timely responses as standard.”↗
