Proud to have put my name to this. Two party politics is over and we need a new electoral system that reflects that reality👇

We CANNOT let private water companies profit from polluting our rivers. I welcome the Clean Water Bill, which will take forward much of the reform the sector needs. But I am concerned that, without addressing the sector's financial failings, we will only be perpetuating a broken system.

Clean rivers, fair bills and a water system run in the public interest should not be too much to ask for. It’s time for the government to be radical and build a model with fairness, accountability, and environmental protection at its core. It’s time to take back control of our water.

As we begin a new session of Parliament, I am urging this government to be much bolder and more ambitious. Those on the Front Bench must now ensure that, as the bills set out by the King today are introduced, they go as far and as fast as possible to deliver the change we promised.

If we want to rebuild trust with voters, we need an electoral system that reflects the reality of UK politics in 2026. Last week’s election results sent a clear message - and I absolutely accept that. But they also made it clearer than ever that first-past-the-post is no longer fit for purpose.

I am calling on the Prime Minister to set out a clear timetable for a change of leadership. The PM is a good man who only wants the best for our country, but I believe it is time for him to step down in an orderly fashion.

Two-Child Benefit Cap Absent / no vote
As Easter nears, it was a privilege to be part of this year's Tawney Dialogue as chair of Christians on the Left. The focus was on tackling child poverty, especially with the two-child limit set to be scrapped, lifting 450,000 kids out of poverty. A massive thank you to all w …

Assisted Dying Bill Voted AGAINST
I have consistently raised issues that the legislation to introduce assisted dying in England and Wales as drafted is not workable or safe. Members of both Houses have constructively sought to propose amendments but the proposers of the Bill have failed to accept them.
Bluesky post · 2026-03-31
Water Company Regulation Voted FOR
I won’t let this issue go: Affordable water bills and clean rivers shouldn’t be too much to ask for. This is what I’ve been fighting for throughout my time in Parliament. Momentum for RADICAL change is growing. I'll be keeping up the campaign to make it a reality.
Bluesky post · 2026-03-31
Grooming Gangs National Inquiry Absent / no vote
I have firmly reiterated my support for a focus on West Yorkshire and specific authorities, like Bradford, to the chair of the Grooming Gangs Inquiry. I unequivocally back any action that delivers faster justice and better support for victims and survivors.
