This Knife Crime Awareness Week is a powerful reminder that we must keep pushing for change. We need serious conversations about prevention, education, and the role of social media in young people’s lives. There’s no single solution - but what’s clear is that we must act.

Kemi is very bad at this but... ... I'm not sure that even the best opposition leader could overcome the legacy of the last govt. It offers a pretty unarguably comeback to anything you do

Kemi Badenoch says Labour MPs behind Keir Starmer "look sick" about the Prime Minister's leadership. Labour MPs immediately point en masse to the ranks of grim-faced Conservative MPs sitting behind her

Thank you to everyone who has written to me about the Assisted Dying Bill. This is one of the most difficult and personal issues we debate in Parliament, and I’ve read every message with care and compassion.

The Conservative Party willfully inflicted catastrophic damage on the country with their flagship Brexit policy. Let’s make sure we hold them accountable by having a frank & honest discussion about the harm it’s caused - in fact Labour should be absolutely hammering them with it

This PMQs illustrates Badenoch's problem - for once she didn't stumble into an elephant trap here but Starmer still landing heavy blows. She's moving into the IDS space of being hopeless without being a weekly calamity.

IMO, both Starmer's recognition that migration is part of Britain's national story, and the warning that without more control "we risk becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together" does a pretty good job of capturing where most Brits are on immigration.

I do love Caroline Johnson MP opening her question with the line "When Labour negotiates, Britain loses". Because within the past hour, it has been announced that the UK and India are signing the most ambitious trade deal in history. 😂

Like other figures who've passed from history into myth, Thatcher has become an empty symbol for the Right, detached from her actual politics & beliefs. For a "Thatcher Centre" to cheer on a president who opposes free trade, hates NATO & admires Russian expansionism is almost comically ahistorical.

I went to see Coldplay and Terris on a joint headliner of the pub circuit in 2000. The singer out of Coldplay had a sore throat so they didn’t play. I wasn’t overly disappointed, tbf.

Right now, the Commons is voting through the Employment Rights Bill, improving people’s working lives. For those who say MPs are all the same, just look at who turned up. Hundreds and hundreds of Labour MPs, whereas possibly only 25 Tories in total.

Delays in funding to renovate Southport's pier highlight the struggle of coastal communities face in securing local investment for growth. A while back, Southport MP @patrickhurley.bsky.social outlined a roadmap for how government can partner with communities to solve this issue.
