Outstanding from Charlotte &Huw👏🏻🎉🥇 @teamgbofficial.bsky.social🏂 #WinterOlympics #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026

One of the best things about football (and sport generally) is its ability to bring people together from all backgrounds, enjoy fierce rivalry, debate different opinions, celebrate shared passion and find common ground. Dreadful comments from Jim Ratcliffe.

Every 3 minutes someone in the UK dies from heart disease💔 This #HeartMonth support @thebhf.bsky.social by walking, fundraising or learning CPR in just 15 minutes. Together we can power lifesaving research and keep hearts beating❤️ #HeartMonth #KeepUsBeating

On #SaferInternetDay I joined UK Safer Internet Centre, colleagues & young people to discuss the wide range of benefits & challenges relating to #ArtificialIntelligence. So important to have open conversations about how AI can be used safely & responsibly & to listen to the views of young people.

Very important! If you support the #AssistedDyingBill and are frustrated with the Lords running down the clock, thereby subverting the democratic will of the elected chamber... The most important thing you can do right now is sign this parliamentary petition. Sign! 👇 humanists.uk/2026/02/06/p...

A petition has been started by assisted dying campaigner Sophie Blake - who has incurable secondary breast cancer - to stop the Lords from frustrating bills approved by MPs. Peers are currently debating the assisted dying bill at a snail’s pace. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...

Former President of the UK Supreme Court backs using the Parliament Act to force the assisted dying bill through the Lords. Peers debate the bill again today with little chance of it passing before time runs out. www.politico.eu/article/mps-...

Really useful meeting with Refuge to discuss the Government’s comprehensive #VAWG strategy. Refuge do such valuable work supporting women & children who are victims & survivors of domestic abuse, including through their 24hour National Helpline: refuge.org.uk

Brilliant roundtable with the APPG for #Sport & #PhysicalActivity with @thisgirlcanuk.bsky.social @womeninsportuk.bsky.social & so many inspirational women working hard to ensure women & girls see sport & physical activity as accessible & relevant to them🏉🤸🏼‍♀️🏑🏋🏼‍♀️🎾

Today is #TimeToTalkDay. Too many people suffer in silence and it takes real bravery, but opening up about our mental health can be the first step towards getting help. If you or someone you care about needs support see below for information about some of the brilliant organisations who can help⤵️

Delighted to welcome Mrs Jinks from Howard Park School in #Cleckheaton to Parliament to congratulate her on presenting to the UK Parliament Teacher Ambassador Programme. #PoliticalEducation is so important & Mrs Jinks does a fantastic job #Politics #Democracy🗳️ #TopTeacher

Emotional evening with @macmillancancer.bsky.social & the family of the inspirational Nat Dye on #WorldCancerDay Brilliant comedy from @matt-forde.bsky.social & Rhod Gilbert, powerful stories of cancer journeys from colleagues & beautiful singing. So poignant to remember Nat in this way❤️

Receiving a Cancer diagnosis has a huge impact on individuals, their families and friends - most of us know what that feels like. I’m proud to support the Government’s National Cancer Plan - the most ambitious for a generation #NationalCancerPlan www.gov.uk/government/n...

Lovely to reminisce about my time as a College Lecturer and reluctant journey into politics with @feweek.bsky.social The Further Education sector is not talked about enough and plays such a powerful role in changing people’s lives #FE #FurtherEducation

Delighted to welcome @paulnowaktuc.bsky.social from @tuc.org.uk to #SpenValley to see the outstanding new HQ of West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service in #Birkenshaw & discuss the vital work of our firefighters, plus the importance of #WorkersRights for people in #SpenValley and across the country.

Really pleased that Yorkshire & Humber is part of the Government’s major expansion of the Victims’ Right of Review Scheme. Thanks to Solictor General @elliereeves.bsky.social for meeting me to discuss this important work and the wider strategy to tackle Violence Against Women & Girls #VAWG

So upsetting to hear that the inspirational Nathaniel Dye has passed away. Nat was a tireless campaigner on #AssistedDying, despite knowing that it would be too late for him before the law is changed to give terminally ill people choice in their dying days. Thank you Nat❤️

Today, we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, and all victims of the Nazi regime and of genocides throughout history. As we mark #HolocaustMemorialDay, we honour those who were lost, and we recommit to building a brighter future.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Labour is taking decisive action to back our Armed Forces & their families who make huge sacrifices to keep us safe. This landmark Bill delivers on our promise to put service personnel, veterans & their families first. Proud to join Minister @alcarns.bsky.social to support the #ArmedForcesBill

Proud to support @womeninsportuk.bsky.social at the launch of a powerful new report on the reality of life as a female sports coach. Too many women face abuse, harassment & barriers in coaching. We must change this – because women and girls belong in sport, at every level🏉⛳️⚽️🏑🏀🏸

Write to peers. Tell them what you think. Support assisted dying. A small number of peers are about to kill the #AssistedDyingBill. Not only would this be undemocratic and an abuse of their power, it would come as a uninimagable tragedy to terminally ill people. humanists.uk/action/ask-t...

'The #AssistedDyingBill is about to die, killed off by a small coterie of peers against the will of the House of Commons and voters who have supported the right to die for decades.' Our Vice President @pollytoynbee.bsky.social ⬇️ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@pollytoynbee.bsky.social in @theguardian.com exposes deliberate filibustering of the assisted dying Bill by a small group of long-opposed Peers. She captures growing frustration at, and rising pressure, on hardline opponents to allow the Bill to move forward. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

📣 Labour launches the Warm Homes Plan – the biggest home upgrade investment in UK history! Up to 1M households lifted out of fuel poverty, millions get clean energy upgrades, and renters get warmer, safer homes. Ending the Tory failure on insulation & bills.

Very pleased to show my support for @airambulancesuk.bsky.social in Parliament. Dedicated professionals across the country help people and save lives every day including the brilliant Yorkshire Air Ambulance 👏🏻🚁🚨

Today is Big Adoption Day 💗 and I want to say a huge thank you to the incredible foster families and adoptive parents across Spen Valley. If you’ve ever thought about adoption, today could be the day to find out more. Advice and support are available here: 👉 www.adoptionmatters.org

‘If I’m in extreme pain, with no chance of a cure & if I’m getting no pleasure out of life…. then I have the perfect human right to end my life. I don’t want to go to some industrial estate in Switzerland. I’m a great believer & supporter of assisted dying in the UK’ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🚨November NHS stats show that waiting lists fell by 86,000👏🏻 This brings the total fall to 312,000 since Labour came into government 🚑 Ambulances are arriving faster 🩺 Patient satisfaction with access to GPs is up Lots more to do, but this Labour government is making our NHS fit for the future🌹

Peers, including the Lords Spiritual, should come out and say they are philosophically opposed to assisted dying, instead of 'hiding behind a thousand amendments' that are designed to wreck the #AssistedDyingBill. @peterprinsleymp.bsky.social 👏 www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Every journey should start and end safely. I’m delighted that our Labour Government is delivering this ambitious strategy to make our roads safer for everyone in #SpenValley and across the country #RoadSafety 👉 Learn more: gov.uk/government/pub…

Thank you to @anthonyhorowitz.com writing in @newstatesman1913.bsky.social for sharing his thoughts on the importance of giving terminally ill adults like his Mum choice and dignity in their dying days⤵️

Ahead of the 10th anniversary of the murder of my sister Jo Cox I spoke to @politicsgirl.bsky.social for their Women in Westminster series about my reluctant route into politics, the many challenges of public life, including rising levels of abuse & violence, and learning to disagree well.

Incredibly proud to support my inspirational colleague & friend @marietidball.bsky.social during her recent sponsored swim. Marie is amazing. She swam for nearly 4 hours, completing 280 lengths, which is 7km - and she was fast! A huge well done Marie🏊🏻‍♀️🌟👏🏻❤️

On Saturday, supporters across the UK marked one year since MPs voted yes to the assisted dying Bill. They came together to thank those who voted for choice and compassion. Their message was clear: this Bill has the backing of the public and MPs, a minority of Lords must not attempt to delay it.

To mark one year since MPs voted yes to the assisted dying Bill, supporters held nearly 40 events nationwide to thank them. As Brighton supporter Alison put it: “Momentum is only growing.” The message to the Lords is clear: it's time to deliver choice at the end of life.

“I am concerned about dying in pain.” Shafaq is a professor of chronic pain, and has stage 4 cancer. She knows the realities - and limits - of managing pain. And amongst the varied decisions she has to make about her care, she wants to make the decision that matters most - about how she dies.

Tackling child poverty by scrapping the two-child benefit cap, increasing minimum wage, saving families an average £150 on their energy bills, justice for miner’s pensions, gambling tax reform, WY transport funding, no return to austerity, no increase on borrowing #Budget2025

Big news for commuters this week - we’re freezing rail fares for the first time since the ‘90s. This will put more money in the pockets of people across #SpenValley 🚂

“The elected chamber has approved assisted dying and it has the support of most voters. It will be disgraceful if it fails to become law because it is “talked out” by a clique of unelected peers.” Great piece by @andrewrawnsley.bsky.social

I welcome scrutiny from the House of Lords & respect the important job they have to do, but we must work together to ensure the Terminally Ill Adults Bill passes through Parliament in a timely fashion to giving dying people choice & dignity in their final days. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This #RoadSafetyWeek, the Government is preparing the biggest overhaul of road safety in over a decade. With 1,600 lives lost each year, action is overdue. A new strategy with stronger protections, better education and smarter infrastructure is coming in the weeks ahead.

Terminally ill people do not have 20yrs for the House of Lords to delay this bill😔 I welcome scrutiny, and will meet with anyone to discuss the bill, but: “The concerted effort to block its progress by a very small number of peers, who are all against the Bill as a matter of principle, continues.”

Today is #AskHerToStand Day I’m proud to back @5050parliament.bsky.social Think of 1–3 women who’d make great leaders — and ask them to consider standing. 🔗 5050parliament.co.uk/sign-up-to-s... #AskHerToStand #SignUpToStand #AHTS2025

Very proud to be in Parliament today for the launch of the Government’s #MensHealthStrategy on #InternationalMensDay👏🏻
