Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP
@bellribeiroaddy
For something so universal, menstruation remains shrouded in coded language, embarrassment and unnecessary shame. We need to normalise the conversation around it and ensure we are challenging stigma rather than reinforcing it.

I voted against the Courts and Tribunal Bill last night. Restricting jury trials is not what victims are asking for. They want changes that are backed by evidence and will drive genuine improvements to the justice system.
We urgently need legislation to ban the private sale of human remains. Human body parts are still being openly sold online with no clarity about their provenance. As things stand, the government has no plan to address this.
The government's rail fare freeze is welcome but intercity rail fares in England remain eye wateringly high. Yesterday, I asked for clarity on how new powers in the Railways Bill could be used to bring costs down for passengers.
Student loans now comes with the kind of terms you’d expect from a loan shark. It's not a graduate tax. It's not fair. We need a more equitable approach to higher education funding. Scrap tuition fees and fund higher education through general taxation.
Last week, I called on the government to give voters stronger powers to recall their MPs. It should be easier for voters to remove MPs who abuse their office. With trust in politicians at an all-time low, the Representation of the People Bill is an important opportunity to put this right.
When a sector has issues, we should talk to its workers. More often than not, they have the solutions. This week in Parliament, I set out what lawyers have been telling us about tackling the courts backlog: reform and investment, not restricting jury trials.
It's clear the Prime Minister doesn't have a credible plan to turn this around. I've called on him to set out a timetable for departure. We need a proper democratic process to replace him. Speaking to Channel 4 News about this weekend's disastrous election results 👇🏾
I welcome the government's decision to extend the vote to 16-year-olds. Anyone claiming young people don’t care or understand about politics isn’t talking to them. Extending the franchise should be accompanied by comprehensive civic and political education. #VotesAt16
In 2021, we abolished the so-called tampon tax. But here is the truth: we have made it cheaper to menstruate, but we have not made it safe to admit that you are struggling because of it.

I have a hard time w/ many of these podcasting pundits who make a living widely criticizing those currently in the arena with gossip & innuendo, mostly because it causes their audience to diss on Dems for sport.
That dnc autopsy is lame and unimportant in this moment we’re in. Kamala said all that in her book And anyone with a brain knew domestic issues were key not any foreign issues They coulda just have listened and voted like Black folk. Anyway, vote in your midterms because that’s what matters now.
