9 Jun 2026Utilities & Watermeasured“Water outages in Withington have been hugely frustrating for local residents and businesses - so it was a massive relief to hear Welsh Water commit to a undertaking full review and improvements to solve the issue at a public meeting last week.”↗
8 Jun 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“A return to full-scale conflict between Israel and Iran will endanger countless lives, worsen humanitarian crises, and risk dragging the entire region into renewed instability. The pathway to peace will be achieved through diplomacy and deescalation, not yet more bloodshed.”↗
5 Jun 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“It's #DiscoverYourLibrary Day! We're lucky to have so many brilliant libraries across North Herefordshire providing free access to books, eBooks, audiobooks and loads more resources, so definitely drop in if you can! Many thanks to Leominster Library for hosting me today📚✏️”↗
5 Jun 2026Energy & Net Zerocelebratory“Absolutely brilliant to spend a day learning more about the Warm Homes Scheme in North Herefordshire and getting to see some of the clean energy upgrades that have already been installed for a number of households in the constituency!”↗
4 Jun 2026Social Careangry“The proposed EHRC Code of Practice is unfit for purpose and places trans people at serious risk of violence and discrimination. It is vital that guidance protects the rights of all people to live their lives with peace, privacy, and dignity.”↗
2 Jun 2026Crime & Policingangry“The Mandelson scandal must lead to a fundamental change in the political establishment's treatment of the brave women and girls who speak out about horrific abuse at the hands of men like Jeffrey Epstein - and the treatment of those who support, enable, or allow those abuses.”↗
1 Jun 2026Defence & Securityangry“Israel's escalating military campaign in southern Lebanon has already killed thousands of people and forced more than a million from their homes. This utter disregard for civilian lives is inexcusable. We saw these patterns in Gaza - it cannot happen again in Lebanon.”↗
28 May 2026Defence & Securityangry“Once again the UK govt condemns Israel's actions and says they are prepared to take further action - then fail to do so. This inaction is unacceptable. Ban settlement trade, sanction Netanyahu, stop all military cooperation with Israel, punish war crimes.”↗
27 May 2026Health & NHScelebratory“On Emergency Medicine Day, we recognise the life-saving work of emergency medicine professionals working in A&Es across the UK, including all those in my local department at Wye Valley NHS Trust, who do incredible work despite the significant pressures facing the NHS. #EMday26”↗
27 May 2026Health & NHScelebratory“Thrilled to have taken part in the Herefordshire @mind.org.uk Challenge in support of mental health! Great to have really powerful conversations about the huge value of mental health support that organisations like Mind offer.”↗
26 May 2026Environmentcelebratory“Honoured to take part in the launch of the River Wye charter, a landmark recognition of the rights of our beloved river and the urgent need to do everything possible to protect and restore the Wye catchment💚”↗
26 May 2026Defence & Securityangry“The latest US strikes on Iran, in the midst of a ceasefire and ongoing peace negotiations, are hugely dangerous. It is crucial that the UK do everything possible to support diplomatic efforts and pressure the US into ending this illegal war.”↗
26 May 2026Culture & Communitymeasured“The application deadline for the latest round of my Constituency Fund is coming up on May 31st! North Herefordshire charities or CICs can apply for funding for a project to tackle inequality through care and creativity. Find out more details here: elliechowns.org.uk/constituency...”↗
21 May 2026Cost of Livingmeasured“Struggling families need support all year, not just for the summer. That means going much further than the measures announced today to tackle cost-of-living: bringing in free bus travel for under 22s, universal free school meals, and more.”↗
21 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“It shouldn't take five months for a government department to respond to a member of the public or to an MP when a case has been raised. The system must work better to ensure timely responses as standard.”↗
21 May 2026Defence & Securityangry“Israeli far-right minister Ben-Gvir degrading activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla is completely unacceptable. The UK govt must act to ensure the safety of the activists & delivery of vital aid to Gaza, and sanction all those responsible for the genocide.”↗
20 May 2026Educationmeasured“"The decisions the UK makes about overseas aid spending over the next five years will shape the next fifty – we cannot afford for global education to fall down the priority list." Read my full op-ed here: www.independent.co.uk/news/educati...”↗
14 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Despite it being obvious that the time of two-party politics is over, the govt laid out no plans to introduce a fairer voting system in the King's Speech. That's why Green MPs tabled an amendment on the need to bring in proportional representation and make every voice heard.”↗
14 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Our current first-past-the-post voting system is hugely undemocratic, allowing a political party to secure a massive majority of seats on a minority vote. We need to introduce proportional representation now to ensure every voice is heard and every vote counts.”↗
8 May 2026Environmentcelebratory“A very happy 100th birthday to Sir David Attenborough, British icon and champion of climate and nature action💚 Protecting nature and combatting climate breakdown couldn't be more vital - we need to urgently ramp up action on both fronts.”↗
7 May 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“It's time to make your voice heard! #VoteGreen today to make hope normal again💚 Don't forget to bring your ID with you to the polls!”↗
30 Apr 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“My fellow Green MPs and I have written to the Foreign Secretary expressing our grave concern at the dismantling of structures needed to monitor and respond to possible violations of international law in the Middle East. This decision must be reversed.”↗
29 Apr 2026Defence & Securityempathetic“Absolutely horrified by the terrorist incident in Golders Green today - my thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the wider community in the wake of this appalling act of violence.”↗
28 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“There is clearly a case to be answered on Starmer's statements about the Mandelson vetting scandal - that is what today's vote is about, and why I supported the Motion. All MPs, regardless of Party, owe it to their conscience and their constituents to do the same.”↗
28 Apr 2026Energy & Net Zeroangry“While ordinary British families struggle to cope with rising energy prices, oil giant BP has more than doubled its profits in the wake of Trump and Netanyahu's illegal war - an absolute disgrace. We need a further windfall tax now. news.sky.com/story/oil-gi...”↗
27 Apr 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“There is no amount of subservience or ego-flattering that will turn Donald Trump into a reliable ally for the UK - a state visit from the King won't do it either.”↗
24 Apr 2026Environmentcelebratory“Absolutely delighted to have received a copy of The Riverside Code, a beautiful booklet created by Friends of the River Wye to help local residents turn love for the River Wye into action to restore it to health!”↗
23 Apr 2026Othermeasured“Yesterday I joined campaigners from @dignityindying.org.uk in support of the Assisted Dying Bill, which has been unreasonably blocked from progressing by a handful of unelected Peers. The majority of MPs and the public support this Bill - the govt must ensure it returns after the King's Speech.”↗
22 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentangry“Starmer appointed Mandelson despite knowing his links to Epstein and foreign states. He resisted and then took a wilfully ignorant attitude towards vetting, compromising national security. He threw a civil servant under the bus to try and save his own skin. The PM must resign.”↗
21 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentangry“Throwing a civil servant under the bus will not distract from the fact that the PM asked no questions about Mandelson's vetting, that his office did not even want to conduct vetting, or that he made an outrageous error of judgement in appointing Mandelson in the first place. The PM must resign.”↗
