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.

How do your algorithms assess the risk of amplifying disinformation just because it's highly engaging? At FCDO SC I pressed TikTok on how they balance virality of content with the need to protect users from bias and over-moderation of legitimate speech. buff.ly/vjwSXqc

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.

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.

At today's SIT @HOCcommitteesUK I asked preferred @Ofcom chair candidate Sir Ian Cheshire if Ofcom's remit that now includes the postal service, broadcasting and the BBC, telecoms and online safety is too big to be effectively managed and chaired?

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!

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.

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.

In the Rycroft report debate I raised @CommonsSITC evidence that TikTok Meta and X algorithms are controlled by foreign billionaires with political agendas and asked if that could constitute a political donation. I urged him to implement our proposals on algorithmic transparency

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.

This Administration’s long-term vacancies at HHS put Americans’ health and safety at risk. I questioned Secretary Kennedy on these inexcusable vacancies in his Department. I will continue to hold this Administration accountable while fighting to build a strong and reliable health care system.

Despite some claims, the job market right now is struggling. I know this firsthand as a small business owner. It's why I am running for Congress: to end the tariffs and ensure Americans have access to high quality jobs.

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!

Hallo 🇩🇪

Ever wonder if you’re missing the best parts of your day? 🤔👇 Think about it. We spend so much time waiting for the "big" moments. The promotion, the vacation, the massive milestone. 🚀 Yet, life is actually happening in the quiet spaces in between. More: tinyurl.com/49faextb #Mindfulness

My child may never know what it means to be a “spoony bard,” & neither may his mother, and neither may you, but it’s from Final Fantasy IV and the point is I’m spending time with my him instead of playing video games, and as a man, I believe that entitles me to some form of medal or parade, yes?
