Reform UK have just unveiled their so-called "shadow cabinet", including Richard Tice as Energy Secretary. His first move? Pledging to restart fracking and further pollute the British countryside. (1/5)

Not surprising Farage hasn't bothered to announce a health spokesperson - his entire team is populated by politicians who broke the NHS. They've also forgotten about a foreign affairs spokesperson, but I guess they will take their orders straight from Trump's White House anyway.

Defence bonds, as proposed by @libdems.org.uk, could bring a £20bn boost to military spending and reduce reliance on Trump's America. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's time we got a grip and took the action needed to protect British farming and protect the public. Read my latest article in the Farmers Guardian 👇 www.farmersguardian.com/blog/4525579...

We worked with @dannychambers.bsky.social on this piece in @thehousemag.bsky.social. Climate shocks + rising debt are straining health systems worldwide. Defending universal health coverage is a matter of UK health security. ⬇️ www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...

This ruling shows that proscribing Palestine Action was a grave misuse of terrorism laws. Labour must accept its mistake, drop its appeal and stop wasting taxpayers' money on suppressing civil liberties.

"Despite the Council's own 2023 report stating that vehicles were damaging the ecosystem and recommending access be closed off, nothing has been done for more than two years..." - read my latest column in the @hampshirechronicle.bsky.social 👇

We need to stop electing politicians who don't believe in science. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Who do you think should be leading the discussion on the regulation of AI chatbots - Parliament or the Pope? #StoptheBots

This Children's Mental Health Week is a reminder we have to do better. I’m proud of groups like Winchester Youth Counselling who offer free support & wellbeing drop-ins. For some young people, that conversation is when things start to turn around. youtu.be/TbQVx0civJc #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

Totally wrong. Totally out of step with British values. He should apologise now.

After nearly four years of war, Ukrainian families in the UK continue to endure uncertainty. Ukrainian refugees in the UK deserve stability and security. I signed this letter from Mike Martin MP calling on the Government to offer a clear pathway to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).

The country can’t afford three more years of chaos that just strengthens the populist right and plays into Farage’s hands. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Children are losing confidence, losing resilience and losing their creativity. AI Chatbots provide countless opportunities, but also countless risks. We need to regulate these bots to keep all users safe online. #StopTheBots

📣 @dannychambers.bsky.social: “The Climate & Nature Bill would've made the UK a world leader in tackling both the climate and nature crises with a joined-up plan that listened to scientists and turned their recommendations into action. I hope the Government brings the #CANBill back to the Commons."

I have launched a campaign calling for stronger regulation of AI chatbots. Many #AI chatbots are designed to act like friends, therapists or even doctors yet they have no qualifications and almost no rules governing how they behave. #StopTheBots

We need a statutory public inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein and his influence in British politics to uncover the truth and get justice for victims.

Which three words do parents use to describe their children’s use of AI chatbots? Concerning, damaging and scary. And what percentage thought AI chatbots were addictive? 90%. We must regulate new technologies before they reach children, not after the damage is done. #StopTheBots

Adding to the office dog collection every time @dogstrust.bsky.social visits Parliament 🐶🐾 I go for the policy chat… and somehow leave with another dog to add to the pack. Accidentally starting a collection at this point.

In my latest newsletter, I wrote about the huge challenges ahead of us for 2026. Taking on the big social media tech companies will not be easy, but we need stronger regulations to protect young people's mental health (1/3)

Every 90 seconds, someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer. On #WorldCancerDay, I want to express my thanks to the researchers, healthcare staff, volunteers and carers who work tirelessly to support those living with cancer.

Rural areas have been left isolated after bus companies and Conservative councils cut routes, leaving people unable to travel to GP appointments or get to school. Short sighted 'savings' will only lead to bigger costs for all of us later. We should be expanding rural bus services, not cutting them.

These allegations are incredibly serious, it is now only right that the police investigate Peter Mandelson for potential misconduct in public office.

Peter Mandelson should resign. Again.

@dannychambers.bsky.social has been speaking with parents in Winchester about the impact of AI chatbots on children and the stories are upsetting. We must regulate new technologies before they are placed in the hands of children, not after the damage is done. #StopTheBots

Places such as South Wonston, Sutton Scotney and New Alresford sit in the worst ten per cent in the UK for connectivity. It is disgraceful that, in modern Britain, many in rural areas are left isolated.

One third of adults now use AI chatbots for emotional support yet there is still no clear regulation on this. @dannychambers.bsky.social asked the Health Secretary what assessment has been made of AI chatbots. The response: no assessment has been made. #StopTheBots

“Veterinary medicine has changed beyond recognition in 15 years.” “It’s not just prices changing, the whole industry has.” @DannyChambers.bsky.social

In the UK, over 25% of dogs are recorded as belonging to breeds with extreme conformation features - like flat-faced dogs which struggle to breathe & need surgery just to survive. Honoured to join the All-Party Parliamentary Dog Advisory Welfare Group to discuss the future of dog welfare. #APDAWG

If the words “never again” are to mean anything, they must represent a shared commitment to challenge hatred wherever it appears. Sadly, this year, Holocaust Memorial Day came against the backdrop of antisemitism on the rise. youtu.be/6HMWOs_eH9o

Many AI chatbots are designed to act like friends, therapists or even doctors yet they have no qualifications and almost no rules governing how they behave. @dannychambers.bsky.social, Mental Health Spokersperson, is launching a campaign calling for stronger regulation of AI chatbots. #StopTheBots

The Conservatives are making it crystal clear that they are purposely leaving sensible centrists out in the cold. Only the Liberal Democrats are offering a realistic alternative to the two parties of old, and the populist fantasists on the extremes. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I welcome support for our pubs, but this is too little, too late. A one-off bailout is not a long-term plan. Many pubs still face big business rate rises and the wider hospitality sector is ignored. We need a full review of business and property rates.

Today, on Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered in the Holocaust, and the millions of others killed under Nazi persecution. We honour survivors and renew our commitment to a country where all can live, worship and gather in safety.

Just like Farage, Suella Braverman wants to turn Britain into Trump's America.

We need to stop breeding dogs that cannot breathe. open.substack.com/pub/dannycha...

It's time to get serious about funding defence. Everyone is saying we 'must do more' but it's all talk. Our plan to issue bonds for funding defence will raise £20bn and give our allies the reassurance that Britain is serious about defending Europe. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

10 children, each suffering from ultra-rare genetic diseases threatening their lives, will each receive a unique version of drug molecule. If the trial is successful, the MHRA will give the nod not to each custom drug one by one, but to the process of making them www.economist.com/leaders/2026...

We strongly agree with @dannychambers.bsky.social

Breeding dogs that require surgery in order to breathe is cruel. youtube.com/watch?v=Asz6...

Over the past week, I have received many emails from constituents about banning harmful social media for under-16s. I could not agree more and here's what we need to do about it: dannychambers.substack.com/p/why-it-is-...

@dannychambers.bsky.social talks about the suffering experienced by brachycephalic dog breeds exacerbated by popular trends. He says, "it is illegal to intentionally cause an animal to suffer but not illegal to breed an animal that you know will suffer".

So far the "Board of Peace" is Trump, Orban, Lukaschenko and Netanyahu. Which if you wrote in a satire would be considered too outlandish and sent back.

Allies should not attack each other - militarily or economically. That is why I called on the Government to stand firmly with our NATO allies this morning, in the wake of troubling reports about President Trump's threats to Greenland. youtu.be/82iHaPFKYBI

Today is Blue Monday - alleged to be the most depressing day of the year. That is why I spoke to Ash from Blue Soul Shoes about all things mental health. youtube.com/shorts/fB6EN...

Trump's tariff threat to the UK and NATO allies marks a dangerous departure as he pursues the illegal annexation of Greenland. He hasn't attacked a NATO ally militarily - yet - but he has done economically. The UK must stand with our allies and face down his bullying tactics.

I've spoken with so many parents worried about how social media is affecting their children's mental health. We need robust, effective and realistic regulation to keep children safe online. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Tonight's turret meeting will be pretty awkward

Watching the Jenrick Press Conference: Really hoping a journalist asks him in the manner of Mrs Merton: "What was it about losing the Tory leadership contest that helped you realise that the Tories had broken Britain?"

Free speech isn't a defense for inciting violence, undermining democracy, hate speech or promoting medical misinformation. Much of the content promoted on X is dangerous and unethical. youtube.com/shorts/LsxZ6...
