21 May 2026Health & NHSmeasuredI welcome that these staff have faced disciplinary action. The Trust must take action to reduce the chances of this happening again. 2/2 www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
21 May 2026Health & NHSangryIt is disgraceful that hospital staff unlawfully accessed the medical records of the victims of the Nottingham attacks. These were cruel, selfish actions that violated the privacy of the victims and were deeply hurtful for their loved ones. 1/2
21 May 2026OthermeasuredInstead of making this Code statutory, the government should be legislating to clarify and protect trans people’s rights, privacy and inclusion. [5/5]
21 May 2026OtherangryThe legal situation for trans people is now deeply incoherent and means that it is untenable for them to be able live their lives with dignity. This is completely out of line with the values of equality that a Labour government is meant to champion. [4/5]
21 May 2026OtherangryThe Code unfortunately still represents the culmination of years of anti-trans campaigning from a small, well-funded minority who have had outsized influence in the media and in politics, and have weaponised the courts for their own ends. [3/5]
21 May 2026Social CareangryThis will do nothing to improve women’s lives and the many struggles we face, but it will put trans people (and anyone perceived as trans) at increased risk of discrimination, harassment and violence. [2/5]
21 May 2026Social CaremeasuredWhile it appears that the government has successfully pushed back on some particularly harmful elements in the previous draft, the new Code of Practice will still lead to the exclusion of trans people from services and facilities that they have used without issue for a very long time. [1/5]
21 May 2026Cost of LivingmeasuredOtherwise, we’ll keep paving the way for Reform and reach the end of this Parliament having run out of people to blame and with nothing to show for it. [3/3]
21 May 2026Cost of LivingangrySo rather than endlessly blame scapegoats, why don’t we cut to the chase and put everything we have into fixing the real structural causes behind soaring bills and rents, stagnant wages, and the fact that public services are on their knees? [2/3]
21 May 2026ImmigrationmeasuredNet migration to the UK has fallen by nearly 50%. This has not made and will not make a single bit of positive difference to people’s lives. Because the problem was never immigration - it was 40 years of Thatcherism. [1/3]
20 May 2026Culture & CommunitycelebratoryHappy Vyshyvanka Day! It’s an honour to once again take part in the annual celebration of the traditional Ukrainian embroidered shirt, which symbolises national identity, cultural heritage and resilience. Slava Ukraini! 🌻
20 May 2026OtherangryThe threat of the far-right is on our streets and in our political system. Unless the government wants these hateful people running the country in 2029, it must get its act together.
19 May 2026Health & NHScelebratoryFantastic appointment. @michellewelshmp.bsky.social has tirelessly fought with and for Nottingham families affected by failings at NUH. She will bring lived experience, immense courage and empathy to this role.
19 May 2026EducationmeasuredWe must instead create a properly funded SEND system that meets the needs of every child requiring support. [2/2]
19 May 2026EducationmeasuredFamilies and caregivers are concerned that the government’s plans will weaken the rights of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. I recently spoke at the Nottingham Save Our Children’s Rights protest and joined the calls to revise these proposals. [1/2]
15 May 2026Cost of LivingcelebratoryIt's always a pleasure to visit Himmah and hear about the work they are doing to tackle poverty and racism in Nottingham. I am pleased that they are one of the local hubs for Power to Prosper - a project that aims to address the root causes of poverty, inequality and problem debt in this country.
14 May 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredAll NEC members, across all factions, can see this and I hope will do the right thing. 2/2
14 May 2026MP & ParliamentangryThe NEC must allow Andy Burnham to put himself forward to be the candidate for Makerfield. To block our most popular politician, in a moment of severe crisis for our party, would not only gift this seat to Reform but would jeopardise Labour's future. 1/2
14 May 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredThis can only happen with an orderly, democratic contest - not a rushed coronation. 2/2
14 May 2026MP & ParliamentangryEvery affiliated trade union has said that Keir Starmer cannot lead us into the next election and calls for a new leader. We need to show that we’ve learnt from the government’s mistakes and get on with delivering the change that people expected. 1/2
13 May 2026Housing & PlanningmeasuredFrom neglectful landlords to soaring rents and getting trapped in tenancies, renting as a student can be a nightmare. It's vital that they understand their rights under the Renters' Rights Act, so I was pleased to speak to NTU and UoN students about what's changed and what more we must fight for.
12 May 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredThis is not a situation any Labour MP wanted to be in, but burying our heads in the sand would hand the keys to No. 10 to Nigel Farage. That would be unforgivable. 2/2
12 May 2026MP & ParliamentangryNow is the time for the Prime Minister to accept that he can’t lead us into the next election. He needs to set out a timetable for his departure, so we can take a different political direction and deliver the change people voted for in 2024. 1/2
11 May 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredKeir should do the responsible thing, for the country and our party, and outline a timetable for his departure with a democratic leadership contest that involves the broad swathe of our party and enables the full breadth of politics and candidates to be represented. 5/5
11 May 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredHowever, a change in the leadership of our party and the country must not be a rushed coronation. This process should not just be about choosing a new leader, but a proper reckoning with the problems in Labour’s current political direction and what we need instead going forward. 4/5
11 May 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredKeir Starmer has not proven himself capable of leading such a government. I have been calling for a change in leader since November - and for a change in direction for far longer. I am pleased that more of my colleagues are now also willing to make this case publicly. 3/5
11 May 2026Cost of LivingmeasuredWe must do this through real action to tackle the cost of living crisis, rebalancing our economy in favour of working class people, standing up to Reform’s racism and division, and taking principled positions on the genocide in Gaza and other issues of international human rights. 2/5
11 May 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredThe Prime Minister has yet again failed to learn the lessons of the local elections, doubling down on what he believes he has got right instead of reflecting on what he has got wrong. We need a government that excites people about the future, and that motivates them to choose that future. 1/5
8 May 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredWith this in mind, I believe the Prime Minister should announce a timetable for his departure.
8 May 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredWe did not secure a historic majority in 2024 to be tepid in government, to punish the most vulnerable or to mimic our opponents. From housing to our hollowed-out public services, the country faces interlocking crises that demand bold policies and a courageous government to deliver them.
