It's good to have the Prime Minister's support on my campaign to improve the safety of women and girls in hotels, after this horrendous incident at Travelodge.View post ↗
Great to chair a joint meeting of the APPGs on Learning Disability, Autism, and ADHD. Thanks so much to @mencap.org.uk for setting it up, and @georgiagould.bsky.social for joining us.View post ↗
Following an appalling sexual assault at a Travelodge, I’ve brought together a group of MPs to demand a meeting with the company's CEO. We need to see an urgent review of their security policies, so horrific incidents like this can never happen again.View post ↗
I’ve written to Travelodge demanding an urgent meeting about this disturbing case. This horrific incident was an appalling failure in the hotel’s duty of care. It raises deeply concerning questions about security procedures and guest safety - which Travelodge must now meet with MPs to answer.View post ↗
Absolutely horrified to read this in the news today. It's appalling and should never have been allowed to take place. Travelodge need to review their security policies urgently. Women deserve to feel safe in hotels. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...View post ↗
It was good to speak to the Mirror about my priorities for reforming the SEND system, ahead of the publication of the Schools White Paper today. As a SEND parent myself, I came to Parliament determined to secure real change for families like mine 👇 www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...View post ↗

I rise to speak in opposition to the Bill. Today, we are voting not on the principle of assisted dying, but on a piece of legislation. We do not exist in a vacuum; what happens in this House has real-world consequences. I am all too aware of how unequal our society, our medical s …Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill · 2025-06-20
Privilege to lay a brick in @msenhshospitals.bsky.social’s new community diagnostic centre in Thurrock. Great example of shifting NHS care into the community, cutting waiting lists with better access to vital tests and scans - closer to home for patients.Bluesky post · 2025-04-25
The Government’s decision to increase defence spending is not only an ironclad commitment to national security, but also an investment in British industry. Today I asked the Chancellor how this additional funding can be used to unlock jobs and opportunities for people living in …Bluesky post · 2025-03-04
