15 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“...improving the rights of millions of workers and private renters, and leadership on the world stage, including on support for Ukraine. History will look kindly on his record in office, and I thank him for his service.”↗
15 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“Sir Keir Starmer left our country in a better place than when he found it. His record is lifting 500,000 children out of poverty, reducing NHS waiting times by 400,000, introducing the Hillsborough Law...”↗
14 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“For Grenfell bereaved and survivors this is a huge moment as we continue their fight for Truth, Justice and Change. I thank the current Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the next Prime Minister Andy Burnham for all they have done to lead this progress.”↗
14 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“Tonight, we passed the Hillsborough Bill in the House of Commons, which I'm sure in decades to come will deliver a shift in power in this country away from the state, and towards openness and accountability.”↗
13 Jul 2026Defence & Securitycelebratory“I’m delighted the Government have confirmed in response to my question today that three organisations - including the IRGC - will be subject to the new powers in the National Security State Threats Act to protect our country.”↗
13 Jul 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“I’ve heard strongly from our Iranian and Jewish communities of their concern about hostile state backed threats on British soil, including from the IRGC.”↗
10 Jul 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“Yesterday I raised his case in parliament, urging the Government to do more to support British nationals detained overseas and to help bring Billy home.”↗
10 Jul 2026Defence & Securityempathetic“My constituent Billy Hood has been in jail in the UAE for the past 5 years. This November he will turn 30. He is a father and a son, and his family desperately want him home.”↗
9 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“The process for selecting a new Leader of the Labour Party started this morning. You asked me what this will look like - here's how it works.”↗
9 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentangry“Farage is up to his neck in sleaze, and his latest stunt does nothing to dispel the many serious questions that remain about his finances and conduct. If he beats Binface and is re-elected in Clacton, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards should resume their investigations without delay.”↗
9 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Thank you to the Ethics and Integrity Commission for their important report today on Lobbying Reform. Modernising our democracy to improve trust in politics requires a clear, consistent and transparent system that can’t be subverted by vested interests eic.independent-commission.uk/publication-...”↗
9 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Good week to remind those who seem to have forgotten about the Nolan Principles that guide public life…”↗

9 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“...and ensures that those in power are always accountable to the people they serve. That has never been truer than in recent weeks. Andy has spent his career fighting for those principles, which is why I'm proud to support him.”↗
9 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“After decades of institutional failure and cover-up, his commitment to giving ordinary people a voice when powerful institutions have failed them is exactly the kind of leadership that our country needs. Labour must be the party that cleans up politics, restores trust in public life...”↗
9 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“One of my priorities when I was elected two years ago was to fight in Parliament for Truth, Justice and Change for the Grenfell community. Andy has been a powerful advocate for the Hillsborough families over many years.”↗
9 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“I know Andy has what it takes to unite people in this country in a hopeful vision that rejects the politics of division and negativity. I look forward to supporting him to tackle the cost of living, promote economic growth and improve living standards for all.”↗

6 Jul 2026Tax & Public Financescelebratory“I'm pleased that shell companies or corporate entities with no history of profit in the UK will no longer be able to make donations. At a time when political leaders are rightly facing tougher scrutiny for who funds them and whose interests they represent, this is an important step forward.”↗
6 Jul 2026Tax & Public Financescelebratory“I welcome the government's response to the Rycroft review. These measures show much-needed progress towards protecting our democracy from foreign financial influence and ensuring public trust comes before private money.”↗
6 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Politicians should serve the people who elected them, not billionaires based overseas.”↗
5 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentangry“At the centre of all this is one simple point: Farage has chosen the interests of secretive billionaires over those of the British people, and he is in their pocket.”↗
5 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentangry“The questions keep coming for Nigel Farage, his money and who pulls his strings. There are now four separate lines of inquiry on his finances, properties, and potential conflicts of interest.”↗
5 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Today we were out and about - as we have been consistently since the General Election two years ago - listening to residents, supporting them with local issues and taking feedback on national policies. This time with the very hardworking Bayswater and Lancaster Gate Labour teams.”↗
2 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“I've written to Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey about these concerns. Read more here: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...”↗
2 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentangry“Nigel Farage is already under investigation over an undeclared £5 million "gift" from Thailand-based crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne. Now he's been reported to the Standards Commissioner over claims he lobbied the Bank of England on crypto policy that could benefit his biggest donor.”↗
30 Jun 2026Defence & Securityangry“ In Parliament, I called for the UAE to withdraw its support for the RSF and force them to protect civilians - and for the UK government to apply maximum pressure, including on tackling the illicit gold trade and financing to ensure that those arming this awful conflict do not materially benefit.”↗
30 Jun 2026Defence & Securityangry“The escalation in Sudan is horrifying, with civilians in El Obeid cut off from access to food, water and fuel as RSF drone strikes escalate. Hundreds of thousands of people are at grave risk. Sudan is one of the worst humanitarian situations in the world, and the conflict must end.”↗
