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...”↗
23 Apr 2026Culture & Communitymeasured“Happy St George's Day! For me this is a day of celebration and reflection I think to myself, why is our country still so unequal, so divided, why do we still have food banks and homelessness? Here's to a more equal, fairer, more just England”↗
22 Apr 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“We can't be militarily dependent on the USA We need strategic autonomy when it comes to our military, energy and industrial base. Macron was right to go on about it, but he forgot that you need a powerful state - free market forces won't deliver it! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...”↗
22 Apr 2026Educationcelebratory“Productive meeting with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions discussing exciting new plans for Folkestone and Hythe’s new Youth Hub! The government is giving us extra support to create more jobs and study opportunities for young people across our district. #folkestone #hythe #romneymarsh”↗
21 Apr 2026Health & NHScelebratory“With Labour, the number of patients waiting for treatment is down...again.”↗
21 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentangry“Debate around Mandelson fixates on process, vetting, Sir Olly Robbins' role, but it's about judgement He should never have been considered. Karen Pierce had cultivated strong relationships in the MAGA world - she was a professional diplomat. That's before we get to Epstein, Russia, China links”↗
20 Apr 2026Otherangry“So wrong! This would have dire consequences for our social contract, our society, our culture, our economy and for our standing in the world. www.ft.com/content/b9d9...”↗

19 Apr 2026Culture & Communitymeasured“Thoughtful piece. 3 things I think would help: 1. More opportunities for young people to express themselves through sport and culture 2. Not focusing on GDP, but wellbeing 3. Proactive policing that builds trustful relationships within communities www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...”↗
18 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Been campaigning with Labour Cllr candidates in Cliftonville, Islington and Worthing. It's striking how much people want change, not tinkering, but system-level change. If we're not the anti-status quo, imaginative and innovative change makers, people will just succumb to apathy.”↗
16 Apr 2026Health & NHSmeasured“I know that there's deep concern in my community about Palantir's role in the NHS. I am very worried about Palantir's access to sensitive medical data. Government should be studying the break clause in the contract! We need data sovereignty, especially in our NHS.”↗
15 Apr 2026Defence & Securityangry“I don't think they know either. It's been about regime change, preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, correcting the wrongs of historic American policy on Iran Then, they expect NATO, a defensive alliance, to weigh in. Complete absence of strategy www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...”↗
15 Apr 2026Utilities & Waterangry“Ok, Mr Hinton is waiving his bonus, but I know how angry my constituents are about water pollution in Folkestone and Hythe - this isn't going to cut it. We blame big corporates - that's part of it, but we privatised a natural monopoly - economic illiteracy? www.ft.com/content/0fde...”↗
14 Apr 2026Othermeasured“'Actions have consequences'. Words have consequences too. The populist right's first move is to debase language. Progressives and Liberals must counter this before talking about philosophies and policies. The dignity of democracy lies in our capacity to debate. www.politico.eu/article/i-th...”↗
