At @HOCcommitteesUK SITC today I asked our wonderful UK-based agri-tech SMEs whether the public funding that they have received was focused and directed towards UK food security or broader global food security.

NHS waiting lists in Newcastle Hospitals have fallen by nearly a fifth since the General Election with over 2,500 fewer people waiting after a tough winter. There is more to be done but Labour is delivering a better NHS.

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.

On Newcastle doorsteps there is overwhelming support for the Government's decision not to join Israel and the US's war on Iran. I asked the Minister whether US loosening of oil sanctions on Russia would enable it to better support it's ally, Iran.

At @CommonsSITC I asked Google whether they provided health or financial advice in response to search queries. They said they gave information not advice, but sought to ensure the quality of the information... it's not clear how useful a distinction that is!

Rubbish and fly tipping has plagued the West End for years. I created my 15 point plan for rubbish because my constituents deserve streets free from mattresses and litter. Labour’s Waste Crime Action Plan means tougher penalties, clean-up squads and £45m to take back our streets.

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.

Great news for renters in Newcastle Central and West. The Renters Reform Act is now in force meaning 10,000 local homes gain stronger rights and protections. Labour is delivering for renters!

During the Second Reading of the Health Modernisation Bill, I set out three tests for the Government ahead of the creation of a new national single patient record.

This week, for the first time, @ukparliament electronic voting system failed, leaving MPs staring at screens with 'unable to contact module' nessage or the Microsoft window of doom. Thanks to the Clerks we quickly went back to paper but I want to find out exactly what went wrong!

Big news from 🇵🇹! It plans to halve its fossil fuel dependence over the next decade. Already at ~80% renewables in its power mix, the next steps are: 1️⃣ electrifying transport, industry & heating. 2️⃣ backing a windfall tax on companies profiting from fossil fuel price spikes due to the Iran conflict!

PTSD isn’t just flashbacks. Sometimes it’s a body that won’t downshift, a mind stuck on high alert, and a craving for intensity that makes “normal life” feel flat and unbearable. Mark, a Marine vet, knows this terrain. His story is raw, real, and full of hard-won wisdom. #PTSD #VeteranMentalHealth

The GOP will never hold anyone accountable for #TheEpsteinFiles. They demand feelings over facts, then cry foul when they do not get the emotional soundbite they want. Now they claim she did not answer. That is not oversight. That is spin. That is the messaging war in a nutshell. #ProudBlue
