1 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Serving as an MP is a privilege and should be viewed as such by those who do the job – not as a part-time role or a get-rich-quick scheme. We need a ban on second jobs for MPs now.”↗
30 Jun 2026Defence & Securityangry“Utterly ridiculous that the long-awaited Defence Investment Plan published today reveals more funding will be spent on the nuclear programme than every other bit of kit and technology for the armed forces. We cannot keep sinking huge sums into weapons which must never be used.”↗
30 Jun 2026Environmentmeasured“Climate resilience has implications far beyond just the environment, impacting the economy, farming, housing, transport, and national security itself. The cost of inaction far outweighs the costs of investment now - we must ensure national strategy for security tackles climate breakdown.”↗
30 Jun 2026Social Caremeasured“Calling all North Hdfs residents📣 My team are hosting a workshop to contribute to the Timms Review on PIP and we want to hear from you! Come along on July 2nd to share your experiences of PIP and help shape the recommendations taken forward to government. More details here:”↗
26 Jun 2026Othermeasured“Protecting human rights in supply chains to the UK is not only a moral obligation, but an opportunity which provides environmental and economic benefits - one which is supported by the British public and businesses alike.”↗
26 Jun 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured“UN’s climate chief: “Climate change is running rampant, caused by the world’s addiction to burning coal, oil and gas. But the solutions are equally clear: a faster shift to clean energy – which is now much cheaper than fossil fuels – as well as protecting forests and building climate resilience.””↗
25 Jun 2026Agriculture & Rural Economymeasured“Farmers are crucial contributors to our nation's health, security, and vitality - but they need far greater support and consistency from government in order to secure a sustainable future for the sector and adapt to the challenges of a changing climate.”↗
25 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“It was an honour to meet with Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian Ambassador to the UK, to discuss the dire humanitarian crisis in Palestine and what more the UK Government must do to safeguard human rights and bring an end to the subjugation, occupation, and genocide of Palestinians.”↗
25 Jun 2026Defence & Securityempathetic“My thoughts are with all those affected by the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, and with the brave emergency workers responding to the disaster. The UK must stand in solidarity with the impacted communities as they recover and grieve.”↗
24 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“The principle that everyone's vote counts equally should be a cornerstone of democracy - but under the current First Past The Post System, countless voters across Britain are left unrepresented. The government must act urgently to bring in proportional representation and build a fairer politics.”↗
23 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)angry“10 years since the Brexit vote, we need to turn the page. Billions of pounds lost, nearly 2 million jobs gone, a 6–8% hit to our economy. Enough. It's time for the Government to set out a roadmap to rejoining.”↗
23 Jun 2026Environmentangry“The climate crisis has huge impacts on our health & our economic security, and yet it didn’t make the G7 agenda. Why is the G7 asleep at the wheel? The next Prime Minister must ensure the UK leads on the global stage.”↗
22 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“It's clear Starmer lost the trust of his party and country and needed to resign. The question now is if Labour has learned from his failures. Will they make the changes Britain truly needs? It's time for real action on wealth inequality, climate breakdown, cost of living, and fair votes.”↗
17 Jun 2026Social Carecelebratory“Brilliant fun taking part in ECHO's ColourFest run in Leominster recently to raise awareness and funds for the organisation! ECHO does such vital work supporting adults with learning and other disabilities in Herefordshire - find out more about the charity and how you can help out here:”↗
17 Jun 2026Defence & Securityangry“Piecemeal sanctions and "guidance" regarding illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine simply do not go far enough to address repeated war crimes and human rights abuses by the Israeli govt - especially when illegal properties are being marketed at British events, as we saw last week.”↗
16 Jun 2026Utilities & Watermeasured“Claiming that taking water into public ownership would be too expensive simply doesn't add up - given Thames Water's repair bills vastly outweigh it's market value to the tune of billions, its value is nil. It's time to end the failed experiment of privatisation and run water for public benefit.”↗
16 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measured“I have added my name to the 1000+ signatories of the "roadmap for eradicating poverty beyond growth", recognising that an endless pursuit of economic growth at any cost which fails to tackle inequality or protect the planet is no true marker of "success" at all.”↗
16 Jun 2026Environmentcelebratory“Sir David Attenborough has served as a lifelong champion for the natural world and of the action needed to tackle climate breakdown - it's absolutely right that his decades of work should be properly recognised💚”↗
16 Jun 2026Culture & Communityempathetic“Jo Cox was a brilliant politician and tireless advocate for unity and connection over division. Ten years on from her tragic murder, her legacy lives on through her family, friends, colleagues, and the fantastic work being done in her name. Learn more about the work of Jo Cox foundation here:”↗
13 Jun 2026Tax & Public Financesmeasured“The government has committed to holding a summit on tackling illicit financial flows - now we need to ensure that actions are put in place which match the scale of the threat dirty money poses to our democracy and politics.”↗
12 Jun 2026Crime & Policingangry“Sentencing protesters as terrorists when they have not been convicted of terrorism offences is massively concerning and flies in the face of justice. Their sentences must be reviewed.”↗
12 Jun 2026Othermeasured“I have written to the Minister for Women and Equalities to reflect the concerns of my constituents about the EHRC Code of Practice, and to urge her to allow a free vote on the guidance in Parliament. Trans people, like all people, deserve to live in dignity and safety - their voices must be heard.”↗
12 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Absolutely delighted to see the govt finally confirm the new Natural History GCSE, a long-running Green Party campaign. Now let’s make sure it truly equips young people to protect nature & tackle the climate crisis - take part in the consultation on subject content here:”↗
11 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“Deeply concerning to see the Defence Secretary has resigned over internal defence funding disputes. As Britain faces down dire threats, from cyberwarfare to climate breakdown, the public needs to see a genuine strategic approach to security - not more division and delay.”↗
10 Jun 2026Defence & Securityangry“The UK govt's piecemeal sanctions and "guidance" regarding illegal settlements in Palestine are simply not enough. We need genuine action in the face of repeated war crimes and abuses by the Israeli govt - sanctions on senior Israeli govt officials & a ban on settlement trade.”↗
10 Jun 2026Crime & Policingangry“Horrified by the attempts of bad-faith actors to use Monday's brutal attack as justification to enact violence, disorder, and the targeting of immigrants and people of colour across Belfast. Hatred has no place in the UK - nor should politicians who seek to incite it.”↗
9 Jun 2026Othermeasured“The PSED and Equality Act exist precisely because we know a more equal society will not just happen by accident - it must be demanded, and robustly defended. The Green Party will oppose any attempt to undermine action for equality and the fight for a fairer, better Britain.”↗
9 Jun 2026Othermeasured“We cannot roll back vital protections when the work to build a fairer, more just society is nowhere near accomplished - it is clear that bias and discrimination remain far too widespread in society and public services.”↗
9 Jun 2026Otherangry“The Tories' proposal to scrap the Public Sector Equality Duty is utterly backwards thinking. It is not "common sense" to repeal a duty to promote equality in our public institutions - it's performative cruelty for the sake of headlines.”↗
9 Jun 2026Social Careempathetic“Unpaid carers provide vital support and prop up the NHS and care sector - yet too many are themselves left to struggle without the support they need. This #CarersWeek, I urged the govt to take action to provide greater respite care and ease the strain on unpaid carers now.”↗
