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 @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!

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

Every week this administration produces a new masterpiece of brazen criminality. Trump is sitting in the Oval Office, ancient, oleaginous, trembling with senility, and what does he do? Conjures a $1.8 billion slush fund from the ether to pay off his cronies. Not infrastructure. Not healthcare.
