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 this week's debate on immigration reforms, I pointed out the persistent problem of children being priced out of citizenship in the country they call home. The government can't claim to support integration while continuing this policy.

Legislating for the suffering of Troubles victims remains unfinished business. As does the implementation of a border poll in Northern Ireland. As we approach the anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, I asked whether the government will take action on both.

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.

In 2026, in the UK, the statistics around Black maternal health still make for grim listening. This week, I pushed the government on its long-promised target to tackle racial inequalities in maternal health. #BMHAW26

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.

Rail, mail, water, energy. These are not just industries; they are lifelines. Our essential services should never have been handed over to shareholders. It's long past time we took them back.

The British state has never truly apologised for our nation's role in African chattel slavery and colonialism. Today, I presented a petition calling for an unequivocal apology and an All-Party Parliamentary Commission for Truth and Reparatory Justice to address these grave crimes and their legacy.

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 👇🏾

The internet has made it easier than ever for people to buy and sell human remains. When the last line of defence against this is social media platforms, you know we're in trouble! We need to change the law to ban this grim trade.

I was reminded of the Cherokee legend of two wolves. One embodies ego and lies, the other kindness and truth. It's a reminder of our internal conflict. Stress often feeds the negative wolf, but nurturing joy transforms our lives. Which wolf are you feeding today? 🌕🐺

This could be a good moment for someone to say, "Okay, everyone who pushed for this guy needs to have their influence cut away" but it's more likely this will be misconstrued as, "Democrats won't do what it takes to win" Anyway time to forget about this guy and focus on dumb Canada stuff.
