There’s a BIG hole in water policy. It’s our small waters. Ponds, streams and small lakes are teeming with life - yet ignored. I’m backing action to properly protect these vital ecosystems. My letter to the Minister for Water and Flooding. 👇View post ↗
There’s a nature-loving majority in this country. Those in power must listen and stop trashing our environment. There are far more of us than there are developer lobbyists. They have the millionaires. We are the millions. We need a bold campaign to get our nature back.View post ↗
I’m backing the Curlew Action Plan. Species decline and extinctions aren’t inevitable. We have the evidence, the solutions and the plan. Now we need action. I’ll be supporting @curlewaction.bsky.social in the months ahead to help bring this iconic bird back from the brink.View post ↗
Anti-nature policies are a dead end for Labour. You don’t secure lasting growth by risking long-term harm to the ecosystems we rely on. The public knows this. There’s no need for the Government to pick a fight with voters on nature. It’s bad policy and bad politics.View post ↗
I’ve campaigned hard for a fairer deal for our family farms. That can’t stop with changes to inheritance tax. We must back farmers by ensuring the public sector buys local, British produce!View post ↗
Justice by the people, for the people. Juries are the cornerstone of democracy and the rule of law. Last night I joined legal experts to hear concerns about proposals to limit the right to trial by jury. We must improve the criminal justice system without compromising justice.View post ↗
No backwards steps for nature! We can't build homes or infrastructure because Tory cuts bled our planning system dry. Putting our Habitats Regulations through a shredder isn't the answer. I've tabled a Parliamentary Motion asking the Government to rethink its plans.View post ↗
The global energy transition is progressing too slowly: 1️⃣ Record high CO₂ emissions from energy in 2024. 2️⃣ Fossil fuel use reached a new peak. 3️⃣ Demand is still growing faster than renewable supply. We have to find a better way to secure a prosperous future for everyone.View post ↗

The hon. Member is making a powerful speech about an incredibly important subject. It affects my constituency, too, where we have 1,500 people living with dementia. On top of that, as she was referring to, around a third of the people currently living with dementia do not have a …Dementia Support: Hampshire · 2026-01-21

Sewage in rivers. Toxic waste near homes. Pollution in the air. In one of the wealthiest countries in the world—people shouldn’t have to live like this. I'm delighted Friends of the Earth back my Charter for Community Rights—a path to a fairer, greener future. @friends-earth.b …Bluesky post · 2025-11-21
The two-child benefit cap forces 109 children into poverty every day. It punishes kids for circumstances they can’t control and takes food out of their mouths. Labour values aren’t just words—they’re a call to action. Scrap the cap.Bluesky post · 2025-11-20
Step aside Andrew Neil! Good fun to get a proper grilling from Knights Templar School students. The Tories wasted millions on barmy schemes while failing to fix our crumbling schools. The cash blown on the failed Rwanda deportation scheme could have repaired KT's roof more than …Bluesky post · 2025-10-21
