I held a debate in @ukparliament on Technology Sovereignty, a key part of our national and economic security and wellbeing. We need an honest debate on the role of foreign-owned Big Tech. These advances must empower lives in the UK in an insecure world. shorturl.fm/oHksH

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.

At today's @CommonsSITC we asked companies to account for the harmful content on their platforms, such as TikTok's virtual gift system which police say is being used by sex offenders to reward girls who perform specific acts like handstanding when wearing a skirt.

Northern Stage has been a part of my childhood and so many people's for decades, I'm proud that we’ve secured £192,600 through Labour’s Arts Everywhere Fund, boosting shows, local talent & North East voices - investing in Newcastle so the arts belong to everyone.

At the @HOCcommiteesUK I asked preferred @UKRI_News chair candidate Prof Sir Leszek Borysiewicz how he would drive regional innovation and growth through science beyond the Golden Triangle where his career and interests have been so concentrated.

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.

Technology sovereignty? Technology serfdom? Or techxit? How should the UK chart the technological path to tech independence, national security, and economic prosperity and what are the implications of our dependence on US big tech and Chinese supply chains?

Children's access to social media is a subject of general debate and a Government consultation. @CommonsSITC we looked at the underlying evidence and I asked some of those supporting a ban if better regulation was an alternative to address the harms children experience online.

Today at @CommonsSITC, I made it clear it is unacceptable for Meta to suggest that MPs should have to intervene to get small businesses the accountability they deserve. Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy. If Facebook kicks them offline, they need to know why!

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.

Israel's Minister of National Security, Itiamar Ben Gavir attacks a female activist and says: "WELCOME TO HELL. The summer camp is over." The activists of various nationalities were kidnapped from international waters and now are being detained and abused by the IOF in Israel.

@thefrankaccount.bsky.social 1 Q: Why does the #PrivacyNarrative about #Harry & #Meghan persist? A: #Presstitudes in the #TBM use a non-existent request for PRIVACY as a cudgel to criticize H&M by accusing them of hypocrisy which implies DISHONESTY. The #TBM sets itself up as truth tellers vs H&M.
