21 May 2026Immigrationmeasured“Here’s some of the data and my comments on it”↗
21 May 2026Immigrationmeasured“Interesting new data from British Future showing most Labour inclined voters don’t back a 10 year route to settlement. With net migration at new lows, this makes clearer than ever that the earned settlement proposals don’t belong on Labour’s policy platform. www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...”↗
20 May 2026Immigrationmeasured“A focus on what unites us all will get us a whole lot further than anything the far-right have to say.”↗
20 May 2026Immigrationmeasured“I don’t believe their claim that life will be better without multiculturalism. The contributions of immigrant communities to our NHS, our businesses, our sports teams, our TV and film are part of what makes us British.”↗
20 May 2026Immigrationangry“I also don’t believe that everyone at the march wants to divide the country and spread hate. But giving a voice to the likes of Farage and Robinson only furthers their cause to dupe British people into thinking that non-white people are the cause of all of the country's problems.”↗
20 May 2026Immigrationangry“Appalling scenes and displays of racism over the weekend. I don’t believe these marches seek to ‘Unite the Kingdom’ in any way but instead incite division by scapegoating minority communities.”↗
15 May 2026Immigrationempathetic“The Foremans are trapped in a horrific situation. The latest development is deeply troubling - the family's contact with them has been cut off for more than a week. You'll be hearing a lot more from myself and the family next week about what we need from the Gov! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...”↗
15 May 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“Delighted to see that Sandgate Granville Parade Beach is open officially as a bathing site in my constituency from today! It is a beautiful shingle beach for swimmers and kayakers. www.gov.uk/government/n...”↗
14 May 2026Local Governmentcelebratory“Massive respect for Josh Simons’ decision to resign. Andy is already delivering for GM, whether it be public control of buses, tackling homelessness and creating a world-class technical education system. We must get behind him and his vision of Manchesterism and do it with passion and energy!”↗
14 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“The Labour NEC must make its view clear now and end the uncertainty. If a leadership contest is triggered, the Labour Party cannot exclude the most popular politician of any political party in the U.K and someone with significant executive experience.”↗
12 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Last night I explained to Channel 4 News why I believe the PM now needs to set out a timetable for a leadership election. www.channel4.com/news/public-...”↗
10 May 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“Rayner's statement today is right. We need the right people and personalities at the top. She's also focusing on policy, which needs to be more transformative of our political economy, more willing to take on the vested interests propping up a failing status quo. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...”↗
9 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“5. I strongly believe there must be an orderly transition of leadership well before the local elections next year. Otherwise, we are conceding defeat to Farage before we have even started.”↗
9 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“4. We must get on with the job we were elected to do. But we're hamstrung if we continue to be led by the personification of earlier, serious mistakes. Let's give the public a leader with a clear vision, conviction and the ability to inspire if we are to stand any chance of turning things around.”↗
9 May 2026MP & Parliamentdefensive“3. Some say we will look like the Tories if we change leader. But would they have done better if they’d kept Boris in despite Partygate? Or kept Truss after she crashed the economy?”↗
9 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“2. Having knocked on doors in recent weeks – in Folkestone & Hythe, Worthing, Hastings & Rye, Thanet, Haringey, Islington – voters are frustrated with the pace of change; but they are still angry about the mistakes made by the leadership: winter fuel, benefit cuts, that LBC interview, Mandelson.”↗
9 May 2026MP & Parliamentangry“1. Labour needs a second term to renew this country after years of Tory failure. On the current trajectory, we won’t get there because we will lose, and Farage will win. That should be nobody’s legacy.”↗
5 May 2026Othermeasured“She also confirmed that she has recently received the updated Code of Practice received from the EHRC, which I look forward to seeing when it is laid before Parliament later this month.”↗
5 May 2026Othermeasured“I also asked if she could assure us that it will be clear how everyone can be protected from harassment and discrimination. The Secretary of State rightly re-iterated that women and trans people must feel safe and must be protected from harassment.”↗
5 May 2026Othermeasured“Last week, I asked Women and Equalities Minister Bridget Phillipson what assurances can be given to businesses and groups that they can confidently be trans-inclusive following the EHRC's draft code of practice.”↗
5 May 2026Defence & Securityempathetic“Caught up with Joe Bennett last week. His courage has been inspiring since his parents, despite their innocence, were arbitrarily detained in Iran. I’ve written to the PM urging him to take this case up as a matter of urgent priority, so we can get our citizens back, like France did.”↗
1 May 2026Housing & Planningcelebratory“Main measures in the Renters’ Rights Act come into force today: 1. Abolishing no fault evictions 2. Enabling tenants to leave with 2 months’ notice at any time 3. Landlords cannot demand more than one month’s rent in advance Let's now use the state's power to build more affordable housing”↗
1 May 2026Utilities & Watercelebratory“The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs SC is doing a brilliant job! Don't forget that the gov can temporarily nationalise a water company if it's repeatedly breaching its licence - through the Special Administration Regime under the Water Industry Act 1991. www.theguardian.com/business/202...”↗
30 Apr 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“No worries, it's helping us get closer to European strategic autonomy! www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...”↗
30 Apr 2026Crime & Policingempathetic“What happened in Golders Green yesterday was so tragic. My thoughts are with Shloime Rand and Moshe Shine, their family, friends and our Jewish community. We must redouble our efforts to root out antisemitism in our society.”↗
28 Apr 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“Ahead of announcements on ECHR reform next month, the Legal Affairs Committee of the Council of Europe, of which I am a Vice Chair, has issued this statement. It is crucial that any changes do not compromise the integrity and authority of the ECHR system as a whole.”↗
24 Apr 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured“We cannot allow AI to deepen wealth and income inequality or cause mass, structural unemployment. We need to ensure our labour force are AI-able and that we have a national retraining fund to support those who lose their jobs due to AI. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...”↗
24 Apr 2026Culture & Communitymeasured“I’m holding a Parliamentary screening for Blue Has No Borders, a documentary filmed in Folkestone highlighting the social divisions many coastal communities are facing at the moment. Tickets are available in the link 👇 #BlueHasNoBorders #CommunityCohesion www.eventbrite.com/e/parliament...”↗
24 Apr 2026Tax & Public Financesmeasured“It's not feeling like a very Special Relationship if all we keep getting are insults and threats. We must keep the digital services tax. It's hardly that punitive - it's a 2% levy on the revenues of major US tech companies. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...”↗
23 Apr 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“The International Criminal Court must investigate all of the Israeli military air strikes against journalists. It was the United Nations that said that the rate of journalist deaths in Gaza since October 2023 was “unprecedented.” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...”↗
