Alongside @EllieChowns.bsky.social I have tabled an amendment to the Children’s Wellbeing Bill which would introduce equal protection from assault for children. As Prof Andrew Rowland says: "Now is the time for this Victorian-era punishment to go." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Our local Integrated Care Board are proposing to shut the face-to-face out-of-hours GP base in Beccles and cut back services in Lowestoft. People here need these services, and I will not stand by whilst they're stripped away.

Physical punishment is outdated and harmful. It's time we change the law to get rid of the 'reasonable punishment' defence of assault and battery on children. @elliechowns.bsky.social and I for @thehousemag.bsky.social 👇 www.politicshome.com/thehouse/art...

67 countries prohibit physical punishment of children. It’s time for England to catch up. At our event with @nspcc.bsky.social & @barnardos.org.uk we urged MPs to help #EndPhysicalPunishment for every child in the UK. @childrenscomm.bsky.social @elliechowns.bsky.social @jessasatomp.bsky.social

Scottish and Welsh children have the same legal protection from assault and battery as adults - English children don’t. Today, I hosted an event in Parliament with @elliechowns.bsky.social to underline the need to #EndPhysicalPunishment. @barnardos.org.uk @rcpch.bsky.social @nspcc.bsky.social

On the third anniversary of Putin’s illegal and brutal invasion - we remember the Ukrainians fighting for the values we share – freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of international law. We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes to win.

This is a hugely welcome initiative from the Government. It shows we are serious about tackling domestic abuse.

📚Delighted to have the support of Labour MP and Education Select Committee member @jessasatomp.bsky.social as we strive to reverse the rise in school exclusions and persistent absence📈 🚨Without further action to get kids back in school, we'll be picking up the pieces for years to come.

Labour MP @jessasatomp.bsky.social's assisted dying bill amendment requires all medical practitioners involved in the process to be trained in spotting domestic abuse Writing in The House, she writes that the bill "places far too much faith in the infallibility and competence of professionals"

The assisted dying bill treats professionals as infallible – they aren’t. www.politicshome.com/thehouse/art...

I'm concerned that the decision to remove High Court Judges from the assisted dying process will leave vulnerable people at greater risk of coercion. We need more safeguards, not fewer. My interview on BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight 👇

This week @alexsobel.co.uk & I hosted Karma Nirvana and the family of Fawziyah Javed in Parliament to support their #Push4Change campaign for a statutory definition of honour-based abuse. What is honour-based abuse (HBA), and why do we urgently need it defined in law? 🧵👇

An extraordinarily brazen lie. “79% had encountered violent pornography before the age of 18” childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/resource/a-l... This is why we need the strongest enforcement by Ofcom when the rules finally commence in July. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAzH...

🔧 I’m backing a Bill to get tough on criminals who steal tools from the vans of working people. It affects the livelihood of tradespeople and it needs to change. Agree? Add your name here 👇 survey.labour.org.uk/tool-theft.

80 years on from the liberation of Auschwitz, we remember the millions of people who were systematically murdered by the Nazi regime. Each of their stories remind us of our duty to make sure that such an atrocity never happens again. #HolocaustMemorialDay #HMD2025
