In the @HOCcommitteesUK SITC debate on our new Neuroscience and Digital Childhood inquiry I set out how we will examine the science of the impact of tech on children's mental and physical health and brain and eye development to further parents' and policymakers' understanding.

At @HOCcommitteesUK SITC I asked new @Ofcom chair, Sir Ian Cheshire, if he is worried about the speed of technology change impacting Ofcom's many responsibilities - from Online Safety, BBC, Royal Mail, Data Centres, Telecoms, & chatbots encouraging children to harm themselves.

Many of our digital harms are underpinned by engagement driven digital advertising. I asked The Secretary of State whether the Government will regulate this, as called for by my @HoCcommitteesUK report into social media, misinformation and harmful algorithms.

Digital technology is not a luxury, it’s essential. After over 20 years in telecoms, I’m proud to have helped reshape BT Group into Openreach, now delivering full fibre to 20 million homes, including here in Newcastle.

At SITC @HOCcommitteesUK Enquiry into the Science and Regulation of Beauty Products and Treatments, I asked our panel whether there were differences in how cosmetic products and treatments were controlled between London and Newcastle - and if my constituents were losing out.

Real change happened this week. The National Living Wage rises 4.1% to £12.71, and the minimum wage for 18–20-year-olds jumps 8.5% to £10.85. The biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation, tackling zero-hours contracts, supporting families, and strengthening trade unions.

I am pleased the government announced a consultation today following the removal of the mandatory element of digital ID. I asked the minister to ensure that digital ID will be built using good data practices to deliver easier access to public services.

Starlink is owned by Elon Musk who advocates civil war in the UK. OneWeb is part owned by the UK Government, both are satellite telecoms companies. I asked the Digital Minister whether our critical rural telecoms infrastructure was more dependent on Starlink or OneWeb?

During the elections, Reform told my constituents new North Sea drilling would cut energy bills. I asked the SoS, if drilling were permitted tomorrow, who would benefit & how quickly and if it was the big oil companies was it surprising that Reform is funded by fuel investors?

I asked the Science Minister @CommonsSITC how he would address the financial mismanagement at @STFC_matters resulting in consistent overspends and cuts. He denied it was mismanagement but confirmed the ambition should be that predicted expenditure meets actual expenditure.

Congress already handed DHS $191 BILLION. Now Trump and Stephen Miller want $70 billion MORE for mass deportation with no oversight, no reform, and no respect for due process. This isn’t safety. It’s cruelty with a price tag. Congress must say no. Learn more: americasvoice.org/press_releas...

It's an inevitable trade-off of genuine 'big-tent' politics that, from time to time, you will want to burn the exasperating shit show down in an apocalyptic inferno worthy of its own true crime podcast. Breathe through it. It will pass. Eventually. Probably.

A clip surfaced of Speaker Johnson saying Congress should be allowed stock trading since their salary hasn’t changed since 2009, and they need to “take care of their families.” Congress makes $174,000 a year, while US minimum wage is $7.25. Seen Trump’s stock trades?🧵 moneywise.com/news/top-sto...
