Proud to speak in favour of lifting the two child limit. Based on personal experience, a kind heart, and fierce ambition for children, no matter their background. youtu.be/9KT3FSDAxPc?...

The Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers, it started with cruel language, seeing humans as aliens, and with othering, hatred and division. Many seem to be forgetting this. We must not. It is important to remember, and to be better. #HolocaustMemorialDay

For the Lords to force this to fail would be an outrage. It's clear that, for some, no version of the bill would be acceptable. That and the manner of amendments and delay shows that it is not merely extra scrutiny, it is deliberately undermining the Commons decision.

Really pleased the SoS for DSIT @lizkendallmp.bsky.social has agreed to come to South Derbyshire to hear from my constituents, especially the young people, as part of the consultation on children’s wellbeing online. ❤️ #SouthDerbyshire #WeNotMe #SocialMedia #Children

Today I intervened in a very well attended petitions debate on fireworks. Always grateful when I get the chance to mention a constituent too. I spoke about Helen who had shared a video of her border collie, Alf, who quaking with fear under a table because of fireworks. #SouthDerbyshire #Fireworks

A British Vogue photoshoot and feature is a pinch yourself moment! (One of the very few things I’ve done that has impressed my 16 year old daughter!) Thanks to Alice Thompson for a lovely interview and Charlotte Hadden for the great photos.

I had feedback today from a company that checks for bots on social media. Turns out most of the negative comments on mine from names I don’t recognise as regular agitators, are bots! Well, who’d have thunk it!?! #SouthDerbyshire #WeNotMe

With the relentless onslaught of social media bots trying to destabilise this country…. I’m just going to leave this here.

I may well be asleep by midnight…. So…from my sofa to yours…(or perhaps you’re far cooler than me and are having/at a party)… Wishing you a very Happy New Year! 🎉🎉🎉 #SouthDerbyshire #WeNotMe #HappyNewYear #TwentyTwentySix #KateBush

Paul is just ACE! It’s so lovely to see the light shone on him. 🙌🏻

2026 will be a big year. We in Labour must make and win the argument together that our progressive politics is changing peoples lives for the better. We must stay united, beat the politics of division and hate and overcome the challenges ahead. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

The race for the #ChristmasNumberOne has begun.🎄 @horthworld.bsky.social has this merry tune raising awareness for #MensMentalHealth with @DerbyshireMind See the full video and details here: youtu.be/ZoxIJBnp9OM?si… Thank you to @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social for the intro to @mind.org.uk

Thank you Derbyshire LGBT+ for creating the safe space for the trans community to come together and speak freely at a time when they are feeling scared as hostility is targeted at them for just living their lives. #TransAwarenessWeek #SouthDerbyshire #WeNotMe #LGBTQ

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK... 78% are murdered by a partner/ex Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety In fact, they voted against them...

Thinking of all the parents and families who have suffered the painful loss of a baby. Lighting a candle in memory of all the babies who lit up their lives for such a short time. 🕯️ ➡️ parliamentlive.tv/event/index/... #WaveOfLight2025 #BabyLossAwarenessWeek

As part of our project on #EDI strategies in #STEM, yesterday we held an excellent roundtable discussion on data collection, insight & analysis for diversity & inclusion in STEM. Thank you to our host @samanthaniblett.bsky.social and to @profkevinfenton.bsky.social for chairing the discussion.

Today the Government has announced a review of the parental leave system. See our recommendations on how to fix the broken system ⬇️

On the welfare reform and the ‘reasoned amendment’ aka the wrecking amendment (that isn’t an amendment).

I’ve written a statement on the current situation on the reasoned amendment on welfare reforms AKA a ‘wrecking amendment’. The battle continues, and I continue to lobby government to rethink PIP. Please do read my statement.

We owe huge debt of gratitude to all those serving in our armed forces and to their families who support them. Thank you. 🫶🏻 #ArmedForcesWeek #ThankYou

Spending Review today shows our commitment to investing in Britain’s renewal as we always said we would. Proud as punch to be a Labour MP 🌹❤️

Hi @translucent.org.uk I just got real FOMO when I saw Richard Quigley MP with this badge. May I have one, please? 🙏🏻

Toyota’s investment will secure vital jobs for local people & strengthen our position as a key automotive manufacturing hub, driving economic growth both locally & nationally It demonstrates South Derbyshire continued importance to the UK’s automotive future.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 newsroom.toyota.eu/toyota-motor...

Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia. I want the #LGBTQIA community and its allies to know you will ALWAYS have my support as your Member of Parliament. 🫶🏻 #SouthDerbyshire #WeNotMe #LGBTQIA #IDAHOBIT

Today is an important day for Catholics in South Derbyshire and around the world as the new Pope, Pope Leo XIV is announced. May his message of peace and helping others be something we can all aspire to deliver together. #PopeLeoXIV #Catholics #SouthDerbyshire

80 years ago today Victory in Europe and over the Nazis was announced. Thank you to brave servicemen and women who fought for us. We must remember that what tears us apart is in division and hatred for humankind, what makes us great is in unity and togetherness and in being kind to one another.

It’s not every day you have a meeting with a member of ABBA…! Pleased to continue to show my support for transparency measures in the Data (Use and Access) Bill to help ensure tech firms outputs, especially when it comes to AI can be governed by copyright laws. #MakeItFAIr #AIandIP

After fingers crossed for the results yesterday it was great to be back at Canada House this morning for an early post-election breakdown (and breakfast!) #CanadianFederalElection2025 #Canada #London

Best of luck to Canada in your federal election today! #Canada #CanadianFederalElection2025 #CanadaHouseLondon

@samanthaniblett.bsky.social said a clear enforceable legal framework is needed. “Copyright is not an inconvenience. It is the legal and moral framework that ensures creators are rewarded for their contributions. Legal certainty enables innovation; what stifles innovation is a regulatory vacuum”.

I am very proudly English, with mixed heritage hailing from Ireland, Germany and Lithuania…… Happy St. George’s Day! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #StGeorgesDay #SouthDerbyshire

The passing of His Holiness, Pope Fancis is deeply sad for Catholics in South Derbyshire and for millions of Catholics around the world. Even those who did not share his faith but respected his global leadership will feel his loss. Pope Francis gave hope to so many. May he rest in peace. 🕯️

“The result is that today’s internet seems to, if not make us actually crazy, make many of us seem crazy. Always connected, always posting and consuming, we resemble madmen now, giving voice to thoughts that are normally the province of the eccentric ranting on a street corner”

Wishing all those who celebrate in South Derbyshire and beyond a Happy Easter.

Really disappointing to see Bluesky so swiftly being used for angry broadcasting of short sentences just as X was. People say they want to engage with MPs then just scream at us and wonder why many don’t engage. 🧵

To Sikhs celebrating in South Derbyshire and beyond….Happy Vaisakhi! 🎉🎉🎉 #SouthDerbyshire #WeNotMe #HappyVaisakhi

It was wonderful to talk all things film and women in immersive and emerging tech with Lou Doye and Liz Rosenthal FRSA. We’ve got plans…..watch this space… #WomenInTech #WomenInFilm #DiversityEquityAndInclusion #Film #Tech #ImmersiveTech #EmergingTech

Today, millions of working people will get a pay rise as the National Living Wage and National Minimum Wage increase. 280,000 people across the East Midlands will be benefitting from the increase in the minimum wage. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Labour is driving progress on renewable energy, pushing down bills with clean power. Together with @edmilibandmp.bsky.social, we’re installing solar panels on schools to cut costs and move towards Net Zero.

Like many, I know the difference time to grieve miscarriage will make. This change in law, accepted by the Govt, has been hard fought for by campaigners and follows an amendment from the women & equalities committee. Big win for the rights of people who experience the heartbreak of miscarriage.

I have huge admiration for my amazing colleague @marietidball.bsky.social for sharing her own story and campaigning for disabled mothers in pregnancy and birth (and beyond!) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Ramadan Mubarak 🌙

May be the only time I pose with a copy of the Daily Mail (you can see me questioning my decisions!) but I am supportive of the creatives’ campaigning to ensure AI doesn’t pinch their work! Proud to sponsor & host this event in parliament today. #MakeItFAIr #CreativesCopyright #AIandCreatives

Just going to leave this here….. Taking the small wins as they arrive. 🙌🏻 #SouthDerbyshire #NHS #NHSWaitingLists
