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.
16 Jun 2026Defence & SecurityangryIt appears that Putin may have ordered an arson attack against the Prime Minister last year. This is a stark example of how bold and dangerous Russia’s aggression has become. We must stand firm with Ukraine and Europe, and redouble our efforts to deter and resist Putin’s threats.
16 Jun 2026OtherangryReform, anti-abortion campaigners and far-right activists are trying to import America's abortion culture war into Britain. We've seen what happens when reproductive rights are taken for granted. We cannot become complacent; we must defend every woman's right to choose. More of my thoughts 👇
15 Jun 2026Energy & Net ZeromeasuredToday I met the National Energy System Operator’s CEO at the ADE’s reception to discuss the need for energy efficiency & demand‑led energy. We must not only change our energy sources but also how we distribute them. Local decentralised & smart systems are key to a more sustainable energy future.
15 Jun 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredIt was an honour to meet the Ukrainian Speaker in Parliament today. He spoke of the bravery and the exhaustion of his countrymen and women. Our determination to stand with Ukraine to defeat Russia, and President Putin, is as strong as ever.
15 Jun 2026OtherangryA small group of peers intentionally blocking the assisted dying bill with endless amendments was unacceptable. Any concerns with proposed legislation should be heard & addressed. That's why if the bill returns, the Lords must scrutinise it properly - not use disingenuous tactics to shut it down.
15 Jun 2026Technology & DigitalmeasuredAfter months of delay, the Government is now rushing through a blanket U-16s social media ban. This will not force tech giants to actually tackle harmful content at its source. We need to make these platforms safer. A headline‑grabbing ban that lets big tech off the hook is not enough.
12 Jun 2026Crime & PolicingempatheticThe World Cup can be a time of great excitement & celebration. Yet for people at risk of domestic abuse it can be a time of fear. High emotions & alcohol/drug use during tournaments causes abuse to rise. If you or someone you know is at risk, you are not alone. Help is available. Reach out👇
12 Jun 2026Health & NHSmeasuredFor the 1 in 10 women suffering from endometriosis, a diagnosis is only the beginning. There is still no cure, treatment options remain limited, & research funding falls far short of what's needed. Awareness alone isn't enough. Read my letter to the Health Secretary👇
11 Jun 2026Defence & SecurityangryNow we don’t just lack a Defence Investment Plan - we don’t even have a Defence Secretary. In these dangerous times, the Government’s chaotic approach to our national security is putting our country at risk. The Government must urgently deliver the funding that our armed forces desperately need.
11 Jun 2026EnvironmentcelebratoryGreat to visit Ralph Allen School to meet their Green Team - a group of students working to drive down the school's emissions & boost sustainability. From growing vegetables in the school garden to creating new bike storage and adding more recycling bins, these students are making a real impact.🌱
11 Jun 2026Health & NHSempatheticFamilies who have lost a baby at any stage of pregnancy or shortly after birth are being invited to a remembrance service in Bath. Organised by the RUH’s Spiritual Care team & the charity Sands, it will be held at Haycombe Cemetery on 13 June at 1pm. To attend email: ruh‑tr.chaplaincy@nhs.net
10 Jun 2026TransportcelebratoryIt’s Bike Week! 🚲 Cycling is a happier, healthier and greener way to travel. 🌱 If you can, why not swap your car for a bike this week and feel the benefits for yourself?
10 Jun 2026Energy & Net ZeromeasuredReform & the Conservatives want you to believe the choice is between Net Zero & economic growth — it isn’t. Relying on fossil fuels is what is what will damage our future economy. We must call out their disingenuous arguments & make clear: to cut bills & boost our economy we must back Net Zero.
10 Jun 2026EducationangryBadenoch wants to scrap rules that ensure our schools and hospitals promote equality. This isn’t a move to "restore common sense". It’s a desperate attempt by the failing Conservative Party to fan the flames of culture‑war politics to grab votes.
9 Jun 2026Cost of LivingmeasuredFamilies in Bath are paying a Brexit premium - from their weekly shop to their energy bills. We’ve seen the Government finally admit to the harm caused by Brexit - yet they still refuse to negotiate a customs union. If they’re serious about tackling the cost of living crisis, they must reconsider.
9 Jun 2026Culture & CommunitymeasuredHistoric England is offering funding to protect historic buildings & sites which are at risk.🔨 If you have a potential project in need of funding, check their website to see if you’re eligible for their Places of Worship Renewal Fund or Heritage at Risk Capital Fund. Applications close June 14th.👇
8 Jun 2026Technology & DigitalangryFor years, social media giants have had the tools to stop children sending and receiving explicit images, yet they've failed to act. They've consistently put profit before children's safety. Starmer's three-month deadline is three months too long. He should force platforms to protect children now.
8 Jun 2026Crime & PolicingmeasuredAvon & Somerset Police are appealing for fresh information on the disappearance of Melanie Hall, 30 years on from her murder. She was last seen on the 9th of June 1996 at the former Cadillacs nightclub in Walcot Street, Bath. If you remember anything from that night please report it.
5 Jun 2026EnvironmentcelebratoryRalph Allen & its student-led Green Team’s work on cutting emissions shows that schools can play a pivotal role in leading change in their communities & building climate resilience. Young people are our future – it’s encouraging to see them taking direct action to make their environment healthier.
5 Jun 2026Crime & Policingmeasured30 years on, Melanie Hall’s murder remains unsolved. Avon & Somerset Police have launched a new appeal, urging anyone who knows or remembers anything about the night of her disappearance to come forward. Even the smallest detail could help solve this case. Please contact the police with any info.
5 Jun 2026Crime & PolicingangryHenry Nowak’s murder was a horrific tragedy. His family have made clear it must not be used to sow division. The Trump Administration’s comments are shameful, showing no respect to his family. Their interference in our country is not welcome.
4 Jun 2026Energy & Net ZeromeasuredFrom urging the Government to fix our broken relationship with Europe, to discussing how we can ensure green energy is cheap and accessible to everyone – this past week I've been standing up for the issues that matter to you. Here's a snapshot of what else I've been up to.📸👇
4 Jun 2026EnvironmentangryThe Trump administration's cuts to research funding, the rollback of environmental protections & their dismantling of US climate policy should worry us all. The climate crisis is the biggest challenge we as a planet face. If we turn our backs now, future generations will pay the price.
4 Jun 2026Crime & PolicingangryIn 2019, I fought hard to make upskirting a specific criminal offence. Making this disturbing and predatory act illegal was a vital first step, but unfortunately we've seen cases continue to rise. We must ensure perpetrators feel the full force of the law to finally put an end to this behaviour.
4 Jun 2026Health & NHSangryThe rise of antisemitism in our NHS is disturbing. Jewish staff should never face discrimination, and Jewish patients must always feel safe seeking care. We need to tackle this head on by rooting out antisemitism, Islamophobia and all forms of racism in our health service.
3 Jun 2026Health & NHSmeasuredThis documentary lays bare a crisis that has been ignored for too long. Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women, yet there's no dedicated care pathway & very little research into treatments. Even the then-Health Secretary struggled to explain why. Those suffering from this condition deserve better.
3 Jun 2026Crime & PolicingangryThe murder of Henry Nowak was horrific and the police's unacceptable response made this unbearable tragedy even worse. The independent investigation must uncover how things went so badly wrong, and every force must act on its findings so nothing like this ever happens again.
3 Jun 2026Culture & CommunitycelebratoryThis summer BRLSI launches 'Democracy Under Threat' - a new series of talks & events. I’m delighted to be joining philosophers, historians & political experts to explore some of the biggest questions facing politics today. Want to be part of the discussion? Book your ticket here👇
