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...
14 Apr 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredDidn't think I'd be saying this, but well done Meloni! The UK should not be engaging in any defence cooperation with Israel whilst it continues its violations of international law and we must not resume free trade agreement negotiations! www.reuters.com/business/aer...
14 Apr 2026Housing & PlanningcelebratoryGreat to be out in Islington yesterday supporting @heathernstaff.bsky.social, @nuturan.bsky.social and Maia Hamilton who have been doing some incredible work for the area: tackling anti-social behaviour, planting trees and increasing the stock of affordable housing! @islingtonlabour.bsky.social
13 Apr 2026Defence & SecurityangryThis is so tragic. It's what happens when we give up on a rules-based order and embrace a power-based order. How can we regenerate the international system so that might does not make right? Q myself and Parliamentarians need to be thinking about urgently. www.reuters.com/world/middle...
12 Apr 2026Defence & SecuritycelebratoryCongrats to Peter Magyar - most importantly got Viktor Orban out of power. Conservative nationalism fails wherever it is tried! Usually results in economic stagnation, corruption and cronyism. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...
10 Apr 2026Tax & Public FinancesmeasuredThought for the weekend: Yes to more defence spending, but we can't also forget we need to invest in education to upskill workers, in health to improve people's wellbeing, on housing, so people have a foundation, on cilvil society and culture, so people have access to information and ideas.
10 Apr 2026EnvironmentmeasuredCompletely understand your perspective. I have been engaging with the merits and demerits of each solar farm proposal on the Marsh and there are still some unanswered questions regarding challenges like drainage.
10 Apr 2026Energy & Net ZeromeasuredThanks - I am very pro-solar, but I don't think that industrial-scale solar spanning hundreds of football pitches on high-quality farmland is the best way to deploy solar. In Romney Marsh in my constituency there are particular challenges with drainage.
10 Apr 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredIf we want a ceasefire that becomes a lasting peace in the Middle East, Israel must stop bombing Lebanon. They are bombing a country that has a displacement crisis and a food crisis according to the UN.
10 Apr 2026Energy & Net ZeromeasuredNorth Sea drilling? Why? Rosebank and Jackdaw would only displace 1-2% of gas imports, wouldn't lower energy prices or produce major tax revenues - 90% of the North Sea's oil and gas has been burned. We need to produce energy not for profit, but with communities and the climate in mind.
9 Apr 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredMy constituent, Joe Bennett, is right. The swift and safe return of the Foremans along with other innocent political prisoners in Iran must form a core part of the peace talks We also need a special envoy designed for dealing with arbitrary detention www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
9 Apr 2026ImmigrationempatheticDeeply saddened to hear of four deaths due to an attempted Channel crossing. We need to break the incentive structure propping up the trafficking gangs - only safe and legal routes delivered upstream can do this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
8 Apr 2026Crime & PolicingmeasuredFrom Sep 24 - Sep 25, knife‑enabled crime fell by about 9%, but in that year there were still 50000+ offences. That's why the gov has launched its Knife Crime Action Plan - the aim is to halve knife crime within a decade. Check it out here: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/69ce1b...
8 Apr 2026EducationcelebratoryGlad to see the Gov is introducing a temporary cap on student loan interest rates at 6%. Interest rates on Plan 2 (undergraduates) and Plan 3 (postgraduates) loans will be capped at 6% from Sep2026. This is about protecting borrowers from inflation spikes!
1 Apr 2026ImmigrationempatheticMy thoughts are with the families of the two people who have died in a Channel crossing attempt. www.lbc.co.uk/article/migr...
1 Apr 2026Local GovernmentcelebratoryIt’s been a pleasure to be out in Cliftonville today to campaign for the wonderful Joanne Bright. Jo has a fantastic record fighting to tackle violence against women and girls. She would be an incredible asset to the people of Kent if elected to Kent County Council on April 9th. #JoanneBright
31 Mar 2026Energy & Net ZerocelebratoryAnd this will boost UK industry, creating high-skilled jobs and apprenticeships. For Folkestone, Hythe and Romney Marsh, meaning we will be building the smart, sustainable homes our community needs. I strongly endorse this joined-up approach. We must make our homes more affordable places to live.
31 Mar 2026Energy & Net Zerocelebratory🌍 Introducing the Future Homes Standard 🌍 Under these rules, new builds will feature solar panels and heat pumps as standard, ending the era of gas boilers. This crucial upgrade will save households up to £830 a year on their energy bills.
