10 Jul 2026Crime & Policingmeasured“England’s next World Cup match is tomorrow evening. We know domestic abuse rises when England play — whether they win or lose. This isn’t the fault of football, but of the violent perpetrators who commit abuse. Read my thoughts on why we must step up support for domestic abuse victims.👇”↗
10 Jul 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured“Net Zero has been dragged into a culture war, putting real climate progress at risk.🌍 This Net Zero Week, we need to separate fact from fiction. Only when people understand what Net Zero and renewable energy actually mean will they back the transition we need.”↗
9 Jul 2026Crime & Policingempathetic“Too often, victims of domestic abuse face a complex, unsympathetic court system that deepens their trauma. VOICES in Bath do vital work helping survivors navigate it. I asked the Government what they're doing to ensure victims can cope with a system that so often adds insult to injury.”↗
9 Jul 2026Health & NHSmeasured“I met Jonathan Higman CEO of ICBs BSW, Dorset & Somerset to understand their thinking around cluster organisation: Recommending that existing boundaries are retained, supported by strengthened cross-boundary collaboration, is the best route to stability, efficiency & improved outcomes for patients.”↗
9 Jul 2026Health & NHScelebratory“In Parliament, I celebrated RUH Bath's role supporting pioneering research to speed up endometriosis diagnosis & spare women invasive surgery. Women typically wait over 9 years for a diagnosis. I’m glad the Leader of the House joined me in celebrating the RUH & agreed these wait times must be cut.”↗
8 Jul 2026Environmentangry“Fewer than 2% of the UK’s MPAs for cetaceans & seabirds are fully protected from bottom trawling - a shocking finding from Oceana UK’s new Trawled & Mauled report. Bottom trawling is devastating marine life in areas meant to be safe. We must ban this horrifying practice in protected waters.🌊”↗
8 Jul 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured“Last night, I sponsored the Net Zero Week Reception in Parliament. Despite the impact of climate change intensifying before our eyes, Trump & the petro‑states are ripping up their climate commitments.🌿 We must work closer with Europe to drive the international action needed to tackle this crisis.”↗
8 Jul 2026Health & NHSempathetic“CJD is a disease that continues to devastate people & their families. I met with the Cure CJD Campaign in Parliament to hear how they're working to raise the £10 million needed for a promising new experimental treatment to enter phase 2 clinical trials. Learn how you can support them.👇 curecjd.org”↗
7 Jul 2026Health & NHSmeasured“Measures to tackle gambling addiction, though well-intentioned, have pushed more betting into the black market. This unregulated space puts punters at greater risk. It’s time we treated gambling addiction as a public health issue & pursued other reforms to support the horse racing industry.🏇”↗
7 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentangry“Farage complains about the Government wasting money — then demands taxpayer cash for a needless by‑election to serve his own ego. It’s pure hypocrisy. I hope the people of Clacton see through Farage's disgraceful stunt and votes for an MP who truly represents them.”↗
7 Jul 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured“Community energy gives us a huge opportunity to generate homegrown renewable power for our future.🌳 But community projects risk being left behind unless they receive clear guidance on how & when reforms will be delivered. The Government's Energy Independence Bill must unlock this potential.⚡”↗
7 Jul 2026Energy & Net Zerocelebratory“It was great to hear the Institution of Engineering & Technology committed to the green hydrogen revolution. Scaling up our production of green hydrogen will allow chemical companies to create zero‑carbon plastics, resins & fuels. These materials are essential to building a greener future.”↗
7 Jul 2026Tax & Public Financesmeasured“Deregulation is often sold as the key to growth, but it must not weaken the protections that keep consumers safe. Because without trust, no industry can grow. As the Financial Services & Markets Bill progresses, we must ensure it preserves consumer protections.”↗
6 Jul 2026Technology & Digitalangry“📸Women are being secretly filmed on nights out - often from invasive, revealing angles. These videos, accompanied by vile degrading comments, are viewed billions of times online. I'm campaigning to make this an offence. If you’ve experienced this, please get in touch: office@werahobhouse.co.uk.”↗
6 Jul 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured“Today I attended the launch of the Revenge Porn Helpline's Annual Report. Since 2015, the helpline has reported 450,000 intimate images of which 90% were removed. Recently, we've seen generative AI fuel the rise of non‑consensual image sharing. As this tech evolves, our protections must also.”↗
6 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentangry“It’s time we put Farage’s finances under a microscope. His failure to declare significant funding received from a convicted criminal & crypto-gambler undermines people's trust & confidence in Parliament. That’s why we @libdems.org.uk have referred him to the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner.”↗
6 Jul 2026Energy & Net Zerocelebratory“Fossil fuels won’t power our future — renewables will. Net Zero Week is a chance to highlight the huge benefits that Net Zero will bring for our economy, energy security & planet. We must ensure the green transition works for every community across the UK.🌳🌿”↗
4 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Is Democracy under threat? Interesting panel discussion @brlsi.bsky.social examining how to bring political debate and decision making closer to voters, limit the power of big money, confront the public with political trade-offs and detoxify political dialogue to avoid polarisation.”↗
3 Jul 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“I met with British Land, owner of SouthGate Bath, and the Shopkeepers’ Campaign to discuss the impact on retail of recent business rates hikes. We need reform to create a fairer system and promote investment and growth. Couldn’t resist popping in to the iconic My Small World while I was there too!”↗
3 Jul 2026Technology & Digitalangry“Meta has teamed up with Kylie Jenner to try make their AI smart glasses stylish. These glasses are increasingly being used to film women without their knowledge or consent, with these often degrading or sexualised videos then posted online. These aren’t fashion. They’re a threat.”↗
3 Jul 2026Culture & Communitymeasured“This Autumn, arts organisations, libraries & museums can apply to join the Arts Council’s 2028–2033 National Portfolio, which will provide them with multi‑year funding to help them innovate & grow. Applicant guidance will be shared in September. In the meantime, please explore the opportunity.👇”↗
2 Jul 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“Amazon’s Regional Creatives Fund is now open for applications! It offers grants to charities that help people gain the skills they need to pursue a career in the creative industries. The 2025 fund has already helped 40 charities train over 4,000 people. Apply by the 2nd of August.👇”↗
2 Jul 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured“As part of the Parliamentary AI training I visited a new data centre today. Operating data centres is complex. They need a highly trained workforce & lots of energy. The cost of energy is an important factor where these data centres go, but we must keep the opportunities and jobs here in the UK.”↗
2 Jul 2026Educationempathetic“Portage has seen demand soar for their SEND support. With referrals up 63% in the past year and waitlists across all their services, many families are missing out on vital pre‑school help. If the Government wants to fix the SEND system, it must back the brilliant work charities like Portage do.”↗
2 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentangry“While people are being crushed by the cost‑of‑living crisis, Nigel Farage is raking in the cash. 💵 £5 million reward for Brexit. 💵 £500k for promoting gold. 💵 £100k for cameo videos. All the while failing to do his actual job: representing the people of Clacton.”↗
2 Jul 2026Health & NHSmeasured“Eating disorders cost the UK £9.4 billion a year, yet only receive 1% of the mental health research budget. We’re spending heavily on the consequences instead of learning how to prevent these illnesses & intervene earlier. I’ve signed this letter calling for greater investment in research.👇”↗
1 Jul 2026Educationcelebratory“Tesco has provided 500 schools with over 15.7 million portions of free fruit & veg since October 2024. Their fantastic programme helps thousands of children get more of their 5‑a‑day. It’s great to hear that from September, the programme will expand to over 1,000 schools!”↗
1 Jul 2026Culture & Communityangry“Between 2017 and 2024, over 4,000 greyhounds died or were put to sleep and more than 35,000 injuries were recorded across the racing industry. No animal should have to suffer for sport. Thank you to @animalaid.org.uk for meeting with me to discuss how we can put an end to this cruelty.”↗
1 Jul 2026Environmentcelebratory“Food waste produces 4x more emissions than the entire aviation industry. I met @thefelixproject.bsky.social in Parliament to hear how they're taking surplus food & delivering it to communities. In Bath, they've helped serve 242,156 meals - every one made from food that would have gone to waste.”↗
30 Jun 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured“When I raised the issue of nightlife filming in Parliament, the Government pointed to their work on non-consensual intimate images & deepfakes. But nightlife videos are different: unlike other online abuse, they fall into a legal grey area making prosecution hard. I’m fighting to change this.”↗
