11 May 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredKeir should do the responsible thing, for the country and our party, and outline a timetable for his departure with a democratic leadership contest that involves the broad swathe of our party and enables the full breadth of politics and candidates to be represented. 5/5
11 May 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredHowever, a change in the leadership of our party and the country must not be a rushed coronation. This process should not just be about choosing a new leader, but a proper reckoning with the problems in Labour’s current political direction and what we need instead going forward. 4/5
11 May 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredKeir Starmer has not proven himself capable of leading such a government. I have been calling for a change in leader since November - and for a change in direction for far longer. I am pleased that more of my colleagues are now also willing to make this case publicly. 3/5
11 May 2026Cost of LivingmeasuredWe must do this through real action to tackle the cost of living crisis, rebalancing our economy in favour of working class people, standing up to Reform’s racism and division, and taking principled positions on the genocide in Gaza and other issues of international human rights. 2/5
11 May 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredThe Prime Minister has yet again failed to learn the lessons of the local elections, doubling down on what he believes he has got right instead of reflecting on what he has got wrong. We need a government that excites people about the future, and that motivates them to choose that future. 1/5
8 May 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredWith this in mind, I believe the Prime Minister should announce a timetable for his departure.
8 May 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredWe did not secure a historic majority in 2024 to be tepid in government, to punish the most vulnerable or to mimic our opponents. From housing to our hollowed-out public services, the country faces interlocking crises that demand bold policies and a courageous government to deliver them.
8 May 2026MP & ParliamentalarmedIt’s also clear that in England we’re losing council votes to the Greens and seats to Reform, often by small margins, and first-past-the-post is turning those margins into a gift for the far right. Without PR, that same system could hand Farage a majority government in 2029 on a minority of votes.
8 May 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measuredSo where do we go from here? We need a Labour government that recognises its duty to working-class people, that fights for our rights and living standards, that takes on the vested interests holding this country back, and that makes the case for a more just and equal society.
8 May 2026ImmigrationangrySome will say that we must go even further in chasing Reform. Not only would that betray everything we stand for, but we’ve also seen how pandering to the far-right normalises, legitimises and strengthens their politics of division and hate. Today’s election results are proof that this won’t work.
8 May 2026ImmigrationangryInstead of listening, the leadership doubled down on Reform-lite immigration policies, cut support for the most vulnerable, and made a series of unfathomable political blunders that have damaged Labour’s integrity and people’s trust in us.
8 May 2026Cost of LivingmeasuredToday, voters are once again showing us that we are failing to do this at the pace and scale that the country needs.
8 May 2026Cost of LivingmeasuredThe writing was on the wall after Gorton and Denton, after Runcorn and Helsby, and after last year’s local elections. People are desperate for a government that, after a decade of Tory austerity, will reverse the decline in living standards and tackle widening inequality.
8 May 2026MP & ParliamentangryThe election results in England, Wales and Scotland are a disaster for the Labour Party, and I send commiserations to the many fantastic Labour representatives who have lost their seats. Frankly, if we don’t get our act together, Labour will face total destruction.
7 May 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredWith no local elections in Nottingham today, we’re out in Lincoln campaigning to keep Reform out 🌹🗳️
6 May 2026MP & ParliamentangryTomorrow, millions will vote in elections across England, Scotland and Wales. Farage’s far-right party is set to make huge gains — that is a danger to all of us. Reform is counting on working class people’s anger with politics, but they’re not the party for workers. Don’t let them tear us apart.
1 May 2026Housing & PlanningcelebratoryBut today, let’s celebrate the housing campaigners who fought tirelessly for this, and whose work will now benefit us all. [2/2]
1 May 2026Housing & PlanningmeasuredThe Labour government’s Renters’ Rights Act comes into force today, ending no-fault evictions for 11 million tenants in England. There is, of course, much more to do to address the housing crisis: rents are still at record highs, LHA remains frozen, and leasehold reform is long overdue. [1/2]
1 May 2026Jobs & EmploymentmeasuredWorkers of the past fought for the rights we have now - like eight-hour days, weekends, sick pay and health and safety legislation. This #InternationalWorkersDay, we must keep fighting for better conditions, for the workers of today and generations to come. Join a union and get organised.
30 Apr 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredI spoke at the Stop Trump’s and Netanyahu’s Wars protest in Nottingham, in solidarity with the people of Iran, Lebanon and Palestine. I called for the government to withdraw permission for the US to use UK bases, and to work together with the rest of the international community to stop the war.
29 Apr 2026Crime & PolicingempatheticShocked by the suspected arson attack on Pink Punters, an LGBTQ+ club in Milton Keynes. I’m relieved that no one was hurt, given how packed out the club was, but this could have been fatal. Sending my best wishes and solidarity to all those affected.
29 Apr 2026Crime & PolicingmeasuredAntisemitism, which is on the rise nationwide, has no place in our society. We all have a responsibility to stand against it. [2/2]
29 Apr 2026Crime & PolicingempatheticThe Golders Green terrorist attack is absolutely devastating, coming just weeks after the arson attack on Hatzola ambulances in the same area. My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and the entire Jewish community. [1/2]
28 Apr 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredThe Prime Minister should refer himself to the Privileges Committee to put this matter to bed. If he won't, I feel I have no choice but to vote to refer him - because my constituents expect me to hold the Prime Minister to the same standards that I would any other leader.
27 Apr 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredMy team and I work every day to serve the people of Nottingham East. Here are just a few recent examples of how we have successfully supported constituents. If you live in Nottingham East and would like to contact me about an issue, find out how at nadiawhittome.org/contact.
24 Apr 2026Local GovernmentcelebratoryThis will include extended street cleaning, support for families with school uniform costs and period poverty, investment in apprenticeships, free holiday swimming for under 16s, free bulky waste collections and more free events across the city to boost local pride.
24 Apr 2026Local GovernmentcelebratoryFantastic news for Nottingham! The City Council is moving ahead with a £25m package to invest in the services that will make a big difference to people’s lives.
24 Apr 2026Culture & CommunitycelebratoryHappy Lesbian Visibility Week! It was a pleasure to welcome LGBT+ campaigners to Parliament to celebrate with the Global LGBT+ Rights APPG. From equal access to fertility treatments, to tackling homophobic violence and abuse there is so much for us to fight for both here and around the world.
23 Apr 2026ImmigrationangryI’m horrified that the government has announced £660 million to fund riot squads on French beaches, with teargas, shields and batons to be used on refugees fleeing war and persecution. Instead of subjecting desperate people to more violence, we should be opening safe and legal routes.
22 Apr 2026MP & ParliamentangryThis culture, where factional loyalty overrides everything else, will continue to do immense damage to the integrity of our party until it is properly addressed and internal democracy restored.
