14 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Our political system is broken, with people increasingly feeling ignored. Introducing proportional representation offers a chance to fix this by giving everyone an equal vote in our democracy. Burnham must seize this chance to create a system whereby no party can afford to take voters for granted.”↗
14 Jul 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“Stores like Primark bring huge economic & employment benefits to our city. And it's important to have access to affordable fashion. But we need to ensure this doesn't come at the expense of fair working practices & sustainability. I visited Primark Bath to find out how they are tackling this.”↗
14 Jul 2026Social Careempathetic“Dorothy House’s Bereavement Help Point gives people a space to connect with others who are grieving. No one should have to face loss alone. I pushed the Government to recognise that support like this shouldn't be a “nice to have” but an essential part of trauma care.”↗
14 Jul 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured“Digital technology is everywhere. We are immersed, engaged entangled. There is a democratic deficit between regulating big tech and building the digital future that we want. Attending a parliamentary briefing on Digital Product Safety to help us understand the opportunities and the threats.”↗
14 Jul 2026Environmentangry“We’re facing a climate & nature crisis🌳. If we don’t act, we risk losing our green & protected spaces. The Government’s plan is useless — we need legal protections, not calls for landowners to voluntarily opt in to protect nature. This crisis is real. It’s time the Government took it seriously.”↗
14 Jul 2026Environmentcelebratory“The Government's plans for a UK‑wide Deposit Return Scheme next year will transform how we recycle single‑use drinks containers made from plastic, aluminium & steel - & glass in Wales. All funded by the drinks industry.♻️ We must ensure businesses & consumers are aware of this big & positive change.”↗
13 Jul 2026Health & NHSmeasured“Illegal vapes - including ones laced with the dangerous drug Spice - are being sold online with impunity, often bought by children. The Home Office can’t just target high‑street sales, it must tackle online sellers too. Otherwise, we're not solving the problem, we're simply pushing sales online.”↗
13 Jul 2026Utilities & Waterangry“Thames Water has let customers down time & again. We need tougher regulations to stop water companies siphoning off big profits, end the scandalous pollution of our rivers & force private operators to step aside if they won’t follow the rules. If they won’t clean up their act, we must make them.”↗
13 Jul 2026Environmentmeasured“When I watched the National Emergency Briefing film, I was shocked. It lays out the dangers of the climate & nature crisis with stark clarity. Everyone should see it. @uniofbath.bsky.social are hosting a screening of the film, followed by a discussion, on July 15th.🌍 Book your place.👇”↗
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.👇”↗
