27 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Maybe I've just got northern brain or possibly because I don't get out much but TBF people have pointed out that there are examples of pubs near Westminster that are more expensive.”↗
27 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“On a serious note, I've not heard any MP argue they should be paid more. We would however like an extra member of staff... And I suspect the view of how much MPs actually drink is massively exaggerated - the workload really doesn't align with having a hangover every day, or indeed any day.”↗
27 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Oh, how I would love to work normal office hours! Not really possible to do the job and do that though.”↗
27 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“The canteens for the thousands of staff are, the proper restaurants aren't.”↗
27 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“'gourmet meals' are not what is served at the subsidised canteen (for the thousands of staff). There are, peculiarly in my view, fully-priced restaurants that serve posh food.”↗
27 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“I agree it's a distraction but I keep seeing it mentioned everywhere and it's simply false.”↗
27 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentdefensive“Omg, expenses policies and receipts are literally all in the public domain: you can't claim for food or drink in Westminster or constituency, limited expenses for visits elsewhere and definitely no alcohol.”↗
27 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“I have only one thing to say about drinking in Westminster and it's a simple fact to aid the discussion: The drinks cost the same inside Parliament as they do outside. Maybe there used to be subsidised booze but that hasn't been the case for at least since I came in, and I suspect much longer.”↗
26 Apr 2026Educationmeasured“This is exactly why I support votes at 16 - most people will then have at least one election, local or national, whilst in some sort of education or training that can show them how it works and get them in the habit.”↗
24 Apr 2026Health & NHSmeasured“We currently allow people to die through withdrawal of treatment and starving themselves with a simple mental capacity test. This is much more robust - if you look at the bill and it's processes it's extremely rightly drawn. Terminally ill people are killing themselves NOW with no safeguards..”↗
24 Apr 2026Otherangry“Choice and a pain-free death denied to the terminally ill by a few unelected Lords.”↗
24 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Reintroducing it is harder and more prone to chance through the PMB process, that's true. But don't think it would have changed anything else.”↗
24 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentangry“Those saying the Lords filibustering the assisted dying bill is about scrutiny ignores both the Commons scrutiny but also that the actions of a few Lords has stopped the rest of the Lords being able to take a view.”↗
24 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“It gets said a lot but doesn't stand up to even the most basic scrutiny. It had more bill committee time than any Government bill does, multiple debates in the commons, and civil service support for drafting amendments etc.”↗
24 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“I'm not sure what would be different, given it's a small number of Lords. Other big issues of conscience have used the PMB mechanism and members generally prefer the Government not taking a position on matters of conscience when it's not a manifesto issue.”↗
24 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“A small number of unelected Lords should not block a bill which has been through the proper Commons processes.”↗
24 Apr 2026Othermeasured“A small number of Lords are blocking the assisted dying bill from completing its parliamentary journey. The Bill has had a huge amount of scrutiny in the Commons (more than any Government bill) but those opposed in principle are using procedural tactics to block it.”↗
24 Apr 2026Health & NHSempathetic“I'm sorry to hear that Chris. I'll do everything I can to make sure we get a safe and compassionate assisted dying law in the UK.”↗
23 Apr 2026Local Governmentangry“Normally when someone dies, as a mark of respect the other parties don't call the by-election but wait for the party of the deceased to do so. In this case, Reform didn't even wait til the funeral had happened to call the election. Really unpleasant behaviour.”↗
23 Apr 2026Health & NHSdefensive“I keep hearing opponents of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) bill saying 'it hasn't had enough scrutiny'. This is just untrue. Over 90 hours in Bill Committee and multiple debates in the chamber. It has had more scrutiny than any Government Bill. That is a fact.”↗
21 Apr 2026Otherangry“Nat was an absolutely phenomenal campaigner for the assisted dying bill. I know he'd be furious at the small number of peers who, because they are opposed in principle, are blocking a vote in the Lords and overturning the will of the Commons.”↗
16 Apr 2026Educationcelebratory“I am really pleased to see this - I benefited from Erasmus and it's a great way to build inter-country relationships and understanding.”↗
14 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Totally agree. I responded to the recent IPSA pay consultation with this point. Yes, I work ridiculous hours and need a very wide skillset but I get paid well. What I don't have is a large enough staff budget to do justice to all elements of the job.”↗
14 Apr 2026Educationempathetic“It's a tough job for them, and the food does meet nutritional requirements set out so far but it's sad to see my kid eat variations on pizza and pasta for every meal. My eldest once described the salad as 'a handful of sad lettuce, and a piece each of cucumber and tomato'.”↗
14 Apr 2026Educationmeasured“I'm really pleased to see this - having pushed for something similar in Lancashire for years. I'd also say that we need to be more ambitious for our kids' diets and palates, as well as meeting basic dietary needs. My primary age kid's school menu is uninspiring at best, especially as they're veggie.”↗
12 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentdefensive“Thanks for saying this. I tried so hard to do proper replies to campaign messages but there's literally hundreds a month, on top of hundreds of individual policy emails and at least 80 new items of casework. So now they get a 'thanks for getting in touch' letting them know that they've been read.”↗
8 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“As an addendum, an oppo member who had come into our Select Committee for just one particular Ministerial session said at the end something to the tune of 'blimey, you Labour members didn't give them an easy ride, did you?' and I was like, er, no? We're there to scrutinise!”↗
8 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“A while ago 'the cabinet was asking the PM hard questions' was used as an attack line and, honestly, sometimes I despair.”↗
7 Apr 2026Othermeasured“Good news. I favour lower decibels and limited nights. Balance of freedom and harm. FWIW I bloody love fireworks, although for my second annual fireworks debate my team told me I wasn't allowed to repeat the phrase from my first fireworks debate 'maybe I just like loud bangs in the night' 👀”↗
5 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“This wouldn't be enough for what I really need - an extra member of staff.”↗
