29 Jun 2026Technology & DigitalangryThe Government's social media ban will do nothing to stop platforms profiting from algorithms that promote and reward harmful content. The issue isn’t just children accessing it - harmful content shouldn't exist on social media at all. We must force tech companies to remove it.
29 Jun 2026Health & NHSmeasuredNo healthcare staff should face violence in A&E, on wards or anywhere else - yet incidents of this are rising. In Parliament, I tabled an Early Day Motion calling for the enforcement of a zero‑tolerance approach to violence & abuse against staff. Healthcare workers deserve to be safe at work.
29 Jun 2026MP & ParliamentangryAnother one bites the dust. People across Bath are sick of being let down by an endless merry-go-round of Prime Ministers & I don't blame them. Despite Labour promising change we are seeing yet more chaos. We must get on with what matters: delivering the change people are crying out for.
27 Jun 2026Defence & SecuritycelebratoryToday we celebrate Armed Forces Day. Our armed forces work tirelessly to keep Britain safe. In a world growing increasingly more uncertain and dangerous, we should value their courage and commitment now more than ever. I thank you all for your selfless service.
26 Jun 2026Energy & Net ZeromeasuredThe transition to net zero brings real opportunities: cleaner energy, economic growth, & greater energy security. But are we doing enough to explain those benefits? In the ESNZ Select Committee, I asked whether the Government is communicating the case for net zero effectively, at home & abroad.👇
26 Jun 2026Health & NHScelebratoryGreat to attend @alzheimersresearchuk.org event in Parliament. I heard about their vision to make the UK the leading place where diagnostics & treatments for dementia are discovered, tested & delivered. To achieve this the Government must outline clear aims, backed by a strong research strategy.
25 Jun 2026EnvironmentangryClimate change is already driving water shortages, crop failures & displacement around the world. When I raised this in Parliament, Reform’s answer was “shut the borders”. Left unchecked, climate change will fuel conflict & water scarcity on a global scale. We cannot put our heads in the sand.👇
25 Jun 2026Energy & Net ZeromeasuredGood to meet with Alber & Geiger, representing infinitum, to discuss the future of sustainable aviation fuels. It's important we align the UK SAF Mandate and UK ETS to provide greater certainty for investors & ensure the UK remains an attractive destination for clean aviation investment.
25 Jun 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured📸 Women should be able to enjoy a night out without being filmed & degraded online. I was due to meet the former Minister to discuss this form of online misogyny before she resigned. I'm pleased the new Minister has agreed to meet - victims cannot be left waiting because of political uncertainty.👇
25 Jun 2026EnvironmentcelebratoryI was so proud to meet Ralph Allen School's student Green Team to hear about how they're helping their school cut emissions & boost biodiversity. When fighting climate change every small action makes a real difference. It’s so inspiring to see young people working to protect their planet.
24 Jun 2026EnvironmentcelebratoryBig pleasure to welcome a group of Indonesian parliamentarians to the National Liberal Club who are here for the London Climate Action Week. Parliamentary diplomacy, working together with like-minded countries, is crucial to build a large coalition to fight the Climate Crisis.
24 Jun 2026EducationcelebratoryAt Ralph Allen School, students are leading the way in improving the nutritional value of their food - growing a vegetable garden & making vegan/vegetarian options the default.🥦🥕 I asked the Department for Education how they'll support schools in making these pupil-led improvements to their food👇
24 Jun 2026Health & NHScelebratoryGreat to meet with Heart Research UK and Ancient+Brave.🫀 For too long, women's heart health has been an afterthought: under-researched, under-diagnosed, and under-treated. Partnering with this campaign is about changing that. Women deserve better, and together we can make sure they get it.
24 Jun 2026EducationmeasuredThe Science & Technology Facilities Council has been told to slash its costs by £162 million. I’ve written to Lord Vallance urging him to ensure @uniofbath.bsky.social physics department isn’t forced to cut projects or jobs because of this. Their research improves lives - we must protect it.
24 Jun 2026Energy & Net ZeromeasuredToday we are experiencing the hottest June day ever recorded. 📈 And our energy bills are at a record high. We need a new approach to energy — one that works for our communities, strengthens our resilience, and addresses the challenges of our changing climate.
23 Jun 2026Otherangry10 years on, there’s not much to say for the Brexit benefits and the sunlit uplands except £5 million for Nigel Farage from a crypto billionaire. We don’t want Trumpian politics imported to the UK - where a few billionaires fund politics and ‘influence’ the political decisions.
23 Jun 2026Energy & Net ZeromeasuredA useful meeting of reps from Greenpeace, Oxfam, CAN, Global Justice Now & Global Witness on how to break free from fossil fuel price shocks. The UK must implement ‘polluter pays’ taxation, end fossil fuel subsidies, & remove Investor-State Dispute Settlement from trade & investment agreements.
22 Jun 2026Culture & CommunitycelebratoryToday, on Windrush Day, we honour the Windrush Generation and their immense contribution to modern British society. In Bath, I’m proud that the Windrush Centre at Fairfield House, run by Bath Ethnic Minority Senior Citizens Association, helps preserve their stories and keep that legacy alive.
22 Jun 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredAnother Prime Minister bites the dust. But after years of revolving-door politics, people want more than a new face in Number 10. Britain deserves real change: a new deal with Europe to tackle the cost of living, social care reform to help the NHS & a fair voting system to give people a real voice.
22 Jun 2026Energy & Net ZeromeasuredSolar panel farms are often opposed because people think they harm the countryside. This isn't true. At the @solarenergyuk.bsky.social & @rspb.bsky.social Parliamentary Drop-In, I learned that well-managed solar farms can actually boost biodiversity & help restore habitats lost through farming.
19 Jun 2026Jobs & EmploymentempatheticOverseas domestic workers facing abuse or exploitation often struggle to escape. I met with Kalayaan in Parliament to hear how the current system leaves workers trapped, as their right to change employer is limited by the time left on their visa. No worker should be forced to endure abuse.
19 Jun 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredIn Manchester at the Königswinter Conference, a bilateral dialogue between the UK and Germany to find opportunities for cooperation on energy, defence and AI. Germany and the UK face very similar challenges. The UK being outside the EU makes collaboration more difficult but not impossible.
19 Jun 2026Crime & PolicingangryDomestic abuse is the fault of abusers. Not women. Not footballers. It sickens me that Sarah Pochin would make these despicable comments knowing that women across our country will face rising violence during the World Cup. Reform don't care about women. Comments like this prove it.
18 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)angryBrexit is costing the UK economy £90 billion every year. The Conservatives & Farage sold the country a fantasy that we're paying the price for. It's time to negotiate closer ties with the EU, including joining the Single Market & Customs Union, and strengthening cooperation on defence & security.
18 Jun 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredIt was a privilege to join Tibetans and campaigners at the Tibet Lobby Day in Parliament. We cannot ignore the reports of cultural repression, threats to religious freedom and restrictions on access to Tibet. The UK must continue to stand up for human rights and ensure Tibetans' voices are heard.
17 Jun 2026Culture & CommunityempatheticWhile millions look forward to England kicking‑off tonight, many others fear the final whistle. Because when England plays football, domestic abuse rises. If you’re at risk or concerned for someone, reach out - support is there. 👇 www.thisisnotanexcuse.org/help-in-your... womensaid.org.uk
17 Jun 2026Energy & Net ZeromeasuredOil & gas companies must take responsibility for dismantling their offshore infrastructure & clearing the seabed. These costs shouldn’t fall on taxpayers. In the Energy Security & Net Zero Committee I pressed for answers on how we can ensure these companies properly decommission their sites.
17 Jun 2026Health & NHSmeasuredDespite having one of the highest mortality rates among mental illnesses, eating disorders receive 1% of UK mental health research funding. It was an honour to host the EDCRN in Parliament, joined by @richardquigley.bsky.social, to discuss the severe underfunding facing eating disorder research.
16 Jun 2026EnvironmentangryThe Tibet Autonomous Region is almost completely sealed off by the Chinese Communist Party, shutting out all outside access. I’m deeply concerned that this secrecy could allow the Chinese authorities to carry out environmental damage in this region with serious global consequences.
16 Jun 2026Health & NHSmeasuredI met with @beatedsupport.bsky.social CEO Vanessa Longley to discuss supporting those with eating disorders. As Chair of the Eating Disorders APPG, I’ve long campaigned for better care. As the Government develops its mental health plan, I’ll keep demanding they take these illnesses seriously.
