3 Jul 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured“I spoke on Times Radio about UK's changing relationship with Big Tech. My Science, Innovation and Technology Committee found three key risks: dependence on a few US tech firms, vendor lock-in and public trust. Palantir NHS contract raises serious questions on all three!”↗
3 Jul 2026Housing & Planningempathetic“My constituents tell me they feel “prisoners” in their home, in properties owned by the St Mary Magdalene and Holy Jesus Trust, which exploits a charity loophole to deny lease extensions. The Government s Leasehold Reform Bill must mean liberty for them!”↗
2 Jul 2026Social Caremeasured“I echoed the PM's tribute to the women and families who suffered and struggled terribly for the Forced Adoption Apology. Bureaucracy, tech and lack of resources can drive compassion out of public services, I asked him how to ensure humanity remains a central part of the state.”↗
1 Jul 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“Illegal settlement expansion and settler violence threaten a two-state solution and undermine confidence in international law. I asked the Minister whether he agrees that, as a matter of principle, goods produced in Israel’s illegal settlements should not be traded with the UK.”↗
1 Jul 2026Health & NHSmeasured“My Committee heard that the NHS has 'more pilots than British Airways' yet innovation still isn't reaching patients fast enough. We need to build a health system that helps UK life sciences businesses grow and thrive, without getting locked in by tech giants like Palantir”↗
30 Jun 2026Health & NHSmeasured“Value for money matters in the NHS. The US spends 18% of GDP on healthcare and gets worse outcomes than the NHS, at around 10% of GDP. So if we are agreeing to pay more for medicines, Ministers should explain the evidence.”↗
30 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“The North East sends the largest proportion of young people into the armed forces in this country, yet has the lowest defence spending. I asked the Minister how the Defence Investment Plan will reward our commitment with investment, and if the Ministry of Defense can procure innovation innovatively”↗
29 Jun 2026Jobs & Employmentmeasured“Good to meet with Living Wage Foundation to discuss the #LivingWage and #LivingPension. An important conversation on the connection between pay and health, and what this means for people in #NewcastleCentralWest. I’ll be raising this with the Minister.”↗
29 Jun 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured“Recently I spoke at the Internet Matters reception on the online lives of children with SEND. Digital spaces can provide connection, support and opportunity, but too many still experience harm online... www.internetmatters.org/hub/research...”↗
28 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“Out in the sunshine with the local Newcastle Central and West team in Blakelaw with our Summer Survey hearing from residents what their top local and national issues are - great conversations on every doorstep!”↗

25 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentangry“Constituents tell me Capita are withholding Civil Service Pensions from bereaved families. One lost payments entirely after the handover. This is a tragic shambles. I asked the Minister to reconsider Capita's contracts with this Government and to fix these failures quickly.”↗
24 Jun 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured“At the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee witnesses drew a clear line between a “ban” and an “age limit” on social media, citing meaningful usage drops in Australia. But local primary school children ask me 'why take action against act kids, not platforms?'”↗
24 Jun 2026Social Caremeasured“Last April, I held a Disability at Work roundtable to input into the Govt review, today I joined the APPG for Disability and Minister Timms where we heard from disabled people co-producing the PIP review. The Minister promised an interim report in July, and recommendations in Nov.”↗
24 Jun 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured“Primary school children in Newcastle tell me they want to be on social media to communicate with their friends. At the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee, I asked Ravi Iyer whether there should be a ban for under 16s. Could a ban be temporary until companies show their products are safe?”↗
