Over this summer our Labour Government is reducing VAT on children’s menu meals in restaurants and family leisure activities. This means that parents will keep more money in their pockets this summer holidays whilst enjoying more affordable activities! 🎠

My thoughts on the EHRC Code of Practice

Leading a debate on the censorship of women’s health terms online … Funny that I can say these words in parliament but this clip will most likely get me shadow-banned :) #miltonkeynes #womenshealth #shadowban #algorithm #ukpolitics

A very happy birthday to the British Standards Institute that is based here in Milton Keynes! 🎂 We can have both innovation and safety when it comes to AI - there’s no need for a trade off. #miltonkeynes #tech #AI

What the King’s speech means for Milton Keynes pt 2: Ending leasehold for good #miltonkeynes #lovemk #leasehold #housing #ukpolitics

Yesterday, I joined the Tamil community in London to remember the tens of thousands who lost their lives and those who are still grieving as a result of the Mullivaikkal Massacre. We must champion the voices of survivors and continue to strive for justice.

Join me and fellow residents from across our city for the Great Milton Keynes Get Together in Campell Park on the 27th of June in loving memory of Jo Cox.

@emily4mk.bsky.social speaking at our parliamentary event with the @appgfairelections.bsky.social "Preventing Disinformation in UK Elections" about anti disinformation amendments she is tabling in parliament. 👏 There is a link to listen to the full event in the video below. 👇 youtu.be/1MjxrzwkPhg

What a lovely evening spent celebrating the fantastic students within our city! Congratulations to Oshia Samuel-Mitchel for the winning the overall Student of the Year Award! And congratulations to all the other winners!

Just for the record …. #lovemk #miltonkeynes #uklabour #ukpolitics

Are you a boy or a young man living in Milton Keynes? Well, Mosaic Fusions have created a survey for you to fill out to express what life is like for you in today's world!

Opening the brand-new Oak Wards at Milton Keynes Hospital yesterday! These wards are the new specialist frailty unit and have incredible dementia friendly features! It was also great to see that the hospital is recognising the support that our veterans deserve.

The last government was more than happy to hand over our tech sector to the US. That attitude is now a threat to our sovereignty & security Great piece by @matildamartin.bsky.social www.politicshome.com/news/article...

A message from @edmilibandmp.bsky.social to the people of Milton Keynes: Vote Labour tomorrow 🌹🗳️ #miltonkeynes #lovemk #elections #ukpolitics

1. Canvassing in Eagle Farm for the local elections and stopping at Bake Away (one of our lovely local businesses) for a red velvet cookie 🍪 2. Visiting the newly refurbished Willen Hospice Shop in Woburn Sands – pop in to get some good clothes and donate to a great cause 🦢

Hundreds of thousands of young people across 🇬🇧 don’t know they have a Child Trust Fund - with an average of £2,200 per account currently unclaimed. Find out if you have a Child Trust Fund using the information here - it’s easy to check👇👇 www.gov.uk/government/n...

It was lovely to attend the Guide Dogs reception in Parliament to learn more about the role that guide dogs play in the lives of young people with visual impairment.

This govt is committed to making sure there is swift justice for victims, and so it’s absolutely imperative that if the Romanian court process isn’t proceeding, the CPS must be allowed to proceed at pace with its 21 charges against the Tate brothers. www.dailymail.com/news/article...

Willen Lake, Loughton Valley Park, Waterhall Park, Caldecotte Lake, Campell Park – the list goes on! We are so lucky to have so many green spaces in our city some which are looked after by the Council and many by the amazing Parks Trust.

Great news! Milton Keynes College is getting £1 million in funding from the Government to support refurbishment and repair works. MK College has played a role in the educational journeys of so many across this city, giving them access to opportunities, learning and training.

The rise of technologies such as AI must happen alongside the input of women, we have seen how these technologies can revolutionise but also degrade. The use of AI apps to nudify women online is completely unacceptable.

A very lovely week in the life of being an MP! 🌹 #uklabour #politics #miltonkeynes

Last Friday we held the finals of the MK School Debate: Shenley Brook End vs Hazeley! Both schools did an incredible job defending their sides and put forward knowledgeable and assured arguments – ultimately, we saw the 2026 crown go to Hazeley, congratulations to their amazing team!

It was lovely to meet the team at Esquires Coffee which recently opened on Glebe Farm! A coffee shop will have a huge role in creating a social centre for the community here in Glebe Farm ☕️ What a perfect spot to stop for a bite to eat between talking to local residents on canvassing sessions 🌹

Not a surprise to those of us raising kids in Milton Keynes, but very glad our city’s being recognised - although I’d put it in first place 🙂 www.msn.com/en-gb/money/... #lovemk #miltonkeynes #ukpolitics #uklabour

And here’s what the big day looked like! Good clothes and a great cause 🦢💙 #willenhospice #miltonkeynes #lovemk

Last week I hosted a charity shop pop-up to celebrate the role of charity shops on our high streets and within our local communities - they’re a place to shop, learn more about sustainable fashion and donate towards incredible causes 👗

Just a snippet of what I’ve been up to this week 🌟 #miltonkeynes #uklabour #politics

I’m so proud that Milton Keynes has been long listed for the UK City of Culture - we are truly a fabulous city with so much to offer from culture to art to food.

Here in Milton Keynes we’re so proud of our City Centre with its arts, culture and shopping. Being part of the New Towns Programme is so important for us continuing to grow as a city and make our city centre a place to be all day!

It was lovely to attend the Trans Day of Visibility reception in Parliament! In Milton Keynes we celebrate and embrace all identities – kindness will always come first in our city. To any trans individual in Milton Keynes, you are such an important part of our city.

Every child deserves a fuelled start to the day no matter what. 🥣 I’m so glad that 1,578 children will benefit from these clubs. 🍎 They’re also integral to keeping more money in parents pockets and providing the childcare that so many families need. #miltonkeynes #opportunities

A growing city like Milton Keynes needs housing that works for everyone, that’s why I’m thrilled to see that building had begun on the Cripps Lodge site to deliver 66 new council homes in Netherfield👷 This Labour Council has already delivered new council homes on the Lakes Estate 🏡

Many residents have reached out to me about East West Rail, a project that will be absolutely transformative for our city. As the project continues to develop there has been consultation on many features to the line including an Eastern entrance for Bletchley Station.

Sharing one of the most shocking stories I’ve heard recently during parliament’s debate on menstrual leave. #pcos #endometriosis #womenshealth #adenomyosis #ukpolitics #nhs #uklabour

Our city deserves its own campus-based university! We have a thriving tech and science sector that so many students could be taking advantage of, especially when we are at the heart of the Oxford-Cambridge growth corridor.

In Milton Keynes we don’t just excel at house building, we also excel at building local communities! Councillor Tracey Bailey and I have campaigned hard to see a shop on Glebe Farm.

What incredible news that our very own @openuniversity.bsky.social is leading in the innovation taking place in the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor, this is backed by up to £20 million of funding from the Government.

A Labour Government and a Labour City Council who invest in young people and communities, are also investing in opportunities and good futures. #miltonkeynes #uklabour #leisurecentres #lovemk

In March I joined the Hong Kong Community from Milton Keynes and across the UK to celebrate the Draw Together Children’s Art Competition! The theme of the competition was connection and the talent shown by these young people was incredible.

With a Labour led city council we’ve seen so much investment into our play parks from updating equipment to brand new ones! Parks are essential to every community 🌳 #miltonkeynes #uklabour #parks

Talking to Times Radio about Trump and Iran. Thankfully we have a Prime Minister who does what’s best for Britain, and isn’t just a puppet to the US President. #miltonkeynes #news #trump #uklabour #keirstamer

My contribution to the Westminster Hall debate on puberty blockers. Young people deserve access to healthcare and support from medical professionals - they should not be the subject of endless political debate.

It’s back!!! 🌟 Last year I ran my first ever work experience programme and this year it returns. This is a great way to learn more about Milton Keynes, politics, careers and connect with fellow young people.

MK city council has transformed Milton Keynes. Even during the dark days of Tory austerity, we not only protected services from cuts, we improved them, and continue to do so. Although Pete is leaving, I know MK City council’s brightest days are still ahead of us 🎈 #miltonkeynes #lovemk

Milton Keynes: where celebrating diversity is in our DNA 🫶 #miltonkeynes #lovemk #ukpolitics #uklabour #news

It was really helpful to hear from experts on Online Safety. I’m working on a proposal for a fresh approach to this, so I find these discussions incredibly helpful!

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

This week I joined the Internet Watch Foundation for the launch of their report on AI child sexual abuse material. In 2025 the IWF identified 3,440 AI-generated child sexual abuse videos. This is an increase of 26,362% - a terrifying statistic.
