10 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“A new PM is an opportunity to build trust in politics and government. To do that, government must keep promises and deliver ambitions. That is not just about deciding what to do,it is about building a state capable of doing it. My piece in @labourlist.bsky.social labourlist.org/2026/07/grae...”↗
8 Jul 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“This is a list of actions taken by Russia against the UK. The UK government must trust the British people with information on how attacks by a foreign power are already affecting their lives. Are these actions "sub threshold" and, if so, what is the threshold for a response?”↗
5 Jul 2026Defence & Securityangry“We've had Russian attacks on the UK on land, at sea, in the air and in cyberspace. The government need to rapidly increase UK preparedness and make sure the public know the impact and costs of these attacks on their daily lives. @ukdefencejournal.org.uk. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/russia-has-a...”↗

29 May 2026Social Careangry“It is disgraceful the Scottish Government has failed to address this and that Neil Gray refused to appear to even discuss the matter. What a contrast to the bravery of the survivors who have shared their stories to make change.”↗
29 May 2026Educationempathetic“This is a situation that deeply impacts children and families across Scotland, which is why we have been working to change it. It took an incredible amount of courage for this woman to come forward and I will continue to fight with her for urgent reforms.”↗
29 May 2026Crime & Policingangry“When she asked the SNP Scottish Government for help, they told her no change was needed. When I intervened, they told me the same despite similar protections being recently introduced in England and Wales.”↗
29 May 2026Crime & Policingangry“I spoke to STV News (clip at end of 🧵) about our work with a constituent who has been pushing for a change to the law after her ex-partner, who is convicted of a disgusting child sex offence, continued to have a legal presumption of access to her daughter.”↗
28 May 2026Local Governmentcelebratory“The West Fife Villages have been awarded £20 million of UK Government Pride in Place funding.

18 May 2026Defence & Securityangry“We should always seek dialogue but it is offensive for John Swinney to casually dismiss concerns over links with Sinn Fein.
