Yvette Cooper is right, the international community is failing the women of Sudan. The human rights abuses that we have seen in the country are utterly imaginable. There has been a horrendous increase in sexual violence against women including rape and torture.

This is an important month for Milton Keynes - this month marks 60 years since the initial White Paper on the Open University by Jennie Lee.

It is great to hear that Milton Keynes City Council has been recognised as a top 10 council for adult social care! The report released by the CareQuality Commission today has given the City Council a score of 78/100

Great news! We’re getting two further government funded breakfast clubs in Milton Keynes at Moorland Primary School and Falconhurst School! Students will be able to access these regardless of if they receive pupil premium or free school meals funding.

I am shocked and saddened to hear about the devastating accident involving Tiger, a young man from our community who is now fighting for his life in Thailand. My thoughts are with him and his family. Please donate or share the fundraiser if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/ncqg5-plea...

I have to say the statement is true! I’m glad that The Metro has recognised how much there is to do in our city – we truly are an incredible place to live, play and work. It was great to see mentions of our small businesses such as Bogota Coffee and Canal St.

It was a real pleasure to join the Dawoodi Bohra community on Saturday to mark World Cancer Day and raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support!

We really shouldn’t have to be spending our time and money to get Ofcom to be transparent about its dealings with platforms.

I just voted to lift 450,000 children out of poverty. That’s a Labour government in action

Here’s just a snapshot of what I’ve been up to this week! 💐 #miltonkeynes #uklabour #politics

I know how important seeing development in our health sector is. From conditions such as coeliac disease to dementia and women's health – these are just some areas of health where we need to see further changes to support those facing them.

Our beauty sector plays such an important role in the UK economy, so it was lovely to join the British Beauty Council in Parliament this week to hear about what is going on in the industry.

I had a great time speaking about the UK’s role in Global Health at the ONE Campaign event in Parliament alongside Dr Beccy Cooper MP.

What a fantastic time spent celebrating poet Robert Burns and Scottish cultural heritage whilst raising money for Willen Hospice! There was incredible music and a real community feel – I'm always proud of the way that we come together in Milton Keynes to celebrate such a range of events.

It was lovely to spend last Friday with the students and staff from Orchard Academy and Shepherdswell Academy in Springfield! I really enjoyed meeting the student council at Shepherdswell Academy and answering their questions about what my job is like.

I’m looking forward to hosting an International Women’s Day event this March for young women (Year 10-13) in Milton Keynes! It will be an opportunity to learn about the work that I’m doing in Milton Keynes and within Parliament on the White Ribbon campaign.

A huge congratulations to both Langland Community School and Middleton Primary School who have received letters from the Secretary of State for Education, praising the work they have done to support disadvantaged students to achieve excellent outcomes!

Today, on the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, we mark Holocaust Remembrance Day. We remember the six million Jewish men, women and children who were murdered by the Nazis. We will remember their lives and their stories. Never forget. #holocaustremembranceday

Stranger Danger still applies online. #ChildSafety #PSA #miltonkeynes #politics #onlinesafety #strangerdanger

I sat down with MKFM to talk about the next steps the government needs to take to protect children online ⬇️ www.mkfm.com/news/local-n... #miltonkeynes #politics #ChildSafety #OnlineSafety

What I’ve been up to this week ☔️ #politics #miltonkeynes #uklabour

This amazing woman has served her country in the armed forces and continues to serve her country now. She actually knows what she is talking about

My team and I are working hard to get to the root of the ongoing problems with Royal Mail delivery in Milton Keynes.

It was great to meet with the Prime Minister this week to talk about social media. Since being elected in 2024, I’ve been campaigning hard to ensure that our online sphere is a safe place for everyone.

This morning, I visited Brooklands Farm Primary School to see their incredible breakfast club which won a Kellogg's Award in Parliament last year! Their breakfast club supports around 800 children who get access to a meal and time to socialise and play outside with fellow students.

What I’ve been up to this week! 💫 #uklabour #politics #miltonkeynes

It was a pleasure to welcome the Minister for Veterans and People, Louise Sandher-Jones to Milton Keynes Hospital, alongside fellow Milton Keynes MPs Callum Anderson and Chris Curtis, to discuss the importance of our armed forces and veterans within the city!

Reform UK: Britain's worst ever recycling project! Yet another Tory has plans to defect to Reform. Same Tories. Same ideas. New logo. Latest addition? Robert Jenrick.

It was a pleasure to join the Tamil community in Parliament on Tuesday to celebrate Thai Pongal and Tamil Heritage Month. In Milton Keynes our Tamil community is so important to the fabric of our city, their cultural contribution has helped to form our city’s identity and make us a cool postcode.

This week, I was invited to join the Foreign Affairs Select Committee to discuss the role of the UK’s resilience to foreign interference through misinformation – it is vital that we ensure our democracy is protected from the false information of foreign actors.

a lot else going on tonight so just worth noting: standing up to Musk was a genuine risk for this govt that took some nerve (US has sanctioned govts in past for blocking twitter/X, a lot else is at stake in relations with US) but looks like it's working and he is backing down.

Stripping someone naked without consent is abuse, whether it’s online or in real life. We will not allow it. #grok #X #Elonmusk #ukpolitics #pmqs #uklabour

What incredible news for our city! This new entertainment venue in Central Milton Keynes will certainly solidify the status of our city as “cool” and support making the city centre a place to: play, eat, live and work.

It was great to meet with Big Tech’s Little Victims to discuss the work that needs to be done to keep young people safe online and prevent social media companies from monetising off the vulnerability of young people.

Great news, Milton Keynes is officially cool! It was incredible to see Milton Keynes listed as a cool postcode by the Sunday Times and a shoutout for our fabulous local businesses and attractions such as Milk and Beans, The Pixel Bunker and The National Film and Sci-Fi Museum.

This is Ofcom’s last chance to prove that it can enforce uk law. Its leadership will be judged by its actions, not words. #Ofcom #Grok #Musk #X #ukpolitics #AI @ofcom.bsky.social

🚨Every pound donated by the UK public to the DEC’s Middle East Humanitarian Appeal will be matched by the UK Government through its UK Aid Match scheme, up to the value of £3 million. Donate here to have your contribution matched: www.dec.org.uk/appeal/middl...

Lots of contributions in the House this week to kick off the New Year! 💐 #politics #miltonkeynes #uklabour

This week myself and fellow Milton Keynes MPs Chris Curtis MP and Callum Anderson MP met with Karin Smyth, The Minister for Secondary Care to discuss the New Hospital Programme. Our Hospital services the whole city and it is vital that it is delivering high quality healthcare to all residents.

The Tories promised a new eastern entrance for Bletchley train station. It turned out to be just another broken promise to the people of Bletchley and Milton Keynes. We’ll keep fighting for the investment and improvement in our area that the last government failed to deliver. #miltonkeynes

We’re in a new era of threat. We have to stay vigilant in our everyday lives and online so we don’t play into Russia’s hands. #miltonkeynes #Ukraine #ukpolitics #Russia #uklabour

And not just a test of Ofcom's ability, but a serious test of their willingness and energy. Signs so far are not promising.

This will be a test of @ofcom.bsky.social’s ability to uphold UK law.

My time on the Parliamentary Armed Forces Scheme was invaluable, and it was lovely to meet veterans in our city of Milton Keynes in December – we should do our upmost to thank them for their service.

This week in the Chamber I asked the Minister for the Middle East about what work is being done to open the borders of Gaza so those who have family connections in the UK are able to obtain a visa and escape the horrors of this conflict. There must be a lasting and stable peace in the region.

It was lovely to meet with local company Selo to discuss the newly passed Employment Rights Bill and what that will mean for businesses in Milton Keynes. They share my drive to see more housing and growth in Milton Keynes, we’re an expanding city and we need development to keep pace with us.

In the Chamber I raised my concerns about the UK’s new Approach to Africa Strategy. Our relationships with other continents are integral to allow us to support them, particularly with the need for humanitarian aid in Sudan.

Looking back at 2025 and getting ready for another year of representing the best city in the world 💜 #lovemk
