5 Jun 2026Culture & Communityempathetic“For many LGBT+ people reading is a chance to read about a shared history, to read about people who have gone through similar experiences (and struggles) and a chance to reach out into History. I have a character limit so I won't even try and list the number of LGBT+ authors who enrich our lives...”↗
5 Jun 2026Culture & Communityangry“Reform ran Essex County Council have ordered libraries to stop their important work around equalities- such as promoting Pride. This is extremely narrow minded & is a chilling reminder of Section 28 when local authorities were banned from promoting LGBT rights. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...”↗
4 Jun 2026Educationmeasured“Some private schools did themselves no favours by the huge increase in fees which were above inflation & many spent vast sums of this fee money on marketing the school to other parents. Even before the VAT increase I met with parents from a local private school that was closing due to low uptake.”↗
4 Jun 2026Educationmeasured“The reality too in my constituency is that many parents who could have afforded to send their kids to private school in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s (e.g those with well-paid professional jobs) no longer can due to the huge rise in prices & anyway London's state schools are very good!”↗
4 Jun 2026Educationmeasured“The strange thing was the constant claims that state schools would be 'swamped' by new arrivals and that class sizes would balloon- which completely ignores the fact that in London class sizes are shrinking esp in primary schools in inner-london.”↗
4 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“A key stat- which shows that Government Ministers were right to push ahead with this policy & that politicians should be brave, rely on proper data and ignore the noise. It was always clear that ideological opponents of the Government were using selective data.”↗
29 May 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“I always supported the transformative difference that the New Labour Government made for us in West London- our hospital was rebuilt and the minimum wage & tax credits lifted people out of poverty. However we can't ignore the mistakes we made, nor bury our heads in the sand about the climate crisis”↗
29 May 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“Finally the Blair Government did not go far enough in fixing the broken rules around Right to Buy which saw more and more council homes being sold off- many of which ended up being rented back at higher rates to local people!”↗
29 May 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“Being a revisionist it is surprising that there was nothing about learning from New Labours failure on housing- we did not build anywhere near enough council housing, and the small number of HA homes did not cover this gap.”↗
29 May 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“The glaring emission in the essay was that the word housing did not appear, nor did it talk about building secure homes. We have a housing crisis in the UK and it fuels our poor productivity, our poor health & risks leaving young people trapped.”↗
29 May 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured“Tony's Government was always very keen to work with and listen to business- so I was curious why his essay didn't mention that British businesses, especially high skilled manufacturing, want investment in green energy & net zero. Business needs certainty for investment.”↗
29 May 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured“The Blair Government signed the Kyoto protocol, invested in green energy and set clear Co2 emission targets. We did this for the same reason why we are taking action now- because we need to. The reasons for tackling the climate crisis have not changed since 2007- but the case is now much stronger.”↗
29 May 2026Othermeasured“We need to confront the future & learn from the past. Tony Blair's recent essay failed on both these accounts. I've written for LabourList focusing on two key areas- Net Zero and Housing. 👇 labourlist.org/2026/05/conf...”↗
19 May 2026Transportmeasured“We must learn lessons from HS2 as we need new rail infrastructure. Spades were in the ground before the project had been fully designed & tunnelling was done because of political pressure. It broke the mantra of major projects, which is 'plan slow and build fast'. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...”↗
15 May 2026Health & NHSmeasured“There is a lot more to do & while constituents tell me that their experience is getting better I know that there is still more to do, and more progress to make. We should not forget the difference that a Labour Government can make & we can't take this progress for granted.”↗
15 May 2026Health & NHScelebratory“NHS waiting times are continuing to fall- thanks to the hard work by NHS staff & the investment that the Labour Government have put into our NHS. Extra pay for NHS staff and more investment in equipment & diagnostics is all making a big difference. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...”↗
13 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“You can read my full statement below. 4/4 www.ruthcadbury.org/post/stateme...”↗
13 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“The local election results both across London and across England were clearly poor for the Labour Party. It is important that we reflect on this, listen and take serious efforts to fix the problems that were behind these poor results. 3/4”↗
13 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“I am not clear what would be achieved by changing leader, nor what they would do differently, or change that would tackle the wider economic and political issues facing the UK right now. 2/4”↗
13 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“I do not believe that now is the right time to change Prime Minister, nor do I believe that there is an obvious successor who could step in at short notice in the event that the Prime Minister is forced to resign. See below for my full statement... 1/4”↗
5 May 2026Culture & Communitymeasured“I wrote this about Ramadan as for the first time since becoming an MP I was being criticised for attending Iftars & I wanted to explain why it is important, and why religious tolerance matters. hounslowherald.com/ruth-cadbury...”↗
5 May 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured“So much of this is being helped by social media; specifically the amount of AI slop videos on Facebook (often ironically they are ran from other countries & push an anti-immigration message to increase views & increase their ad revenue)”↗
5 May 2026Immigrationangry“And the post received a flood of racist comments- many from people with their photo and name easily identifiable (often photos of their families) Since the 1970s Hounslow always had councillors of different faiths & races- in all parties. We are a multi-cultural borough...”↗
5 May 2026Immigrationangry“One person on the doorstep told me they would have turned away the small number of Jewish refugees the UK accepted before WW2, I've seen constituents make racist comments about council staff who were trying to assist them and recently I put up a picture with some candidates running for council...”↗
5 May 2026Culture & Communitymeasured“I have noticed on my Facebook posts, in my mailbag & on the doorstep that people are very happy to use openly racist and demonising language. People have always held these views but the willingness and pride to do so openly is what has changed...”↗
5 May 2026Culture & Communitymeasured“''What defeats racism is the willingness of civic society and the state to proselytise against it. It is weakened when people feel ashamed to express racist statements in public'' A thoughtful column from @stephenkb.bsky.social which touches upon something I have noticed www.ft.com/content/5cdf...”↗
1 May 2026Local Governmentmeasured“Next week in Hounslow we face the risk of a Reform-led coalition of chaos; which is why I will be out campaigning over the next week reminding voters both of our Labour councils strong record of delivery & the need to stop Reform.”↗
1 May 2026Local Governmentmeasured“Being in local Government is hard work & many standing for Reform are doing so out of an interest in national politics (a lot of their leaflets have mentioned immigration) It's no surprise that we've seen a lot of reform councillors enter office and either resign or switch parties.”↗
1 May 2026Local Governmentmeasured“A really good piece on the reality of Reform ran councils. It was no surprise that in many places they ran on cutting council tax & 'wasteful' spending- only to enter office, find there was little waste & then they had to increase council tax. www.ft.com/content/3c05...”↗
28 Apr 2026Housing & Planningcelebratory“There is a lot in this policy announcement which is really good and will make a big difference to protect social & council housing and ensure that we have truly affordable housing for people who need it. www.gov.uk/government/n...”↗
