I am determined to ensure that young people in West Dunbartonshire don't miss out on the employment & training opportunities offered by Defence Technical Colleges. I asked if the Scottish Government have confirmed if they will match this UK Government funding for our colleges.

Tomorrow marks the 85th anniversary of the Clydebank Blitz, where our town suffered horrendous loss - 528 people killed, only 8 of 12,000 homes left undamaged. I highlighted this today in the House, and how we must continue to commemorate those who lost their lives in the Blitz.

Shame on the SNP for trying to silence me on child poverty. They tried their best to shout me down today at PMQs but failed. The SNP cannot handle the truth that they had 8 years to lift the two child benefit cap - it takes a Labour Government to deliver.

April 8, 2026 was one of the most intense bursts of violence seen anywhere in recent history. Dozens of children were killed and hundreds were made homeless. "If we ignore that day, we're not just witnessing it. We're allowing it to happen again, anywhere," says @james-unicef.bsky.social.

Last month, President Trump attempted to illegally withhold SNAP funding, adding to his disgraceful record of making Americans’ lives harder. As he continues to threaten Colorado’s food assistance, I will keep fighting for our state to ensure hungry families have the food they need.

To combat gerrymandering, fight fire with fire. The Virginia Supreme Court struck down the citizen initiative for a new Congressional map. The legislature can fight back. Here I describe Quinn Yeargin's idea to use the state constitution to retire that court:

DOJ attorneys are supposed to serve the American people, not the personal interests of a president. That is why this conflict of interest issue matters. If the DOJ cannot act independently from political power, public trust in the system collapses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGEJfNFyK-g

And, the WH took 3 days to finally release a "summary" of his latest health report results. This is quite reminiscent of how the WH's DOJ took months to release only redacted portions of just some of the Epstein Files... "The Truth is [still] Out There —The eXpstein Files
