Dr Ellie Chowns MP
@elliechowns
There is clearly a case to be answered on Starmer's statements about the Mandelson vetting scandal - that is what today's vote is about, and why I supported the Motion. All MPs, regardless of Party, owe it to their conscience and their constituents to do the same.

Given the huge concerns about children's safety online, it's crucial the govt acts with urgency, thoughtfulness, & care. I abstained on today’s motion for this reason. It would have rushed through (as yet unpublished) legislation in one day, with no real opportunity for scrutiny or consultation.
The PM already seems to have turned a blind eye to Mandelson's relationship with Epstein in order to cosy up to Trump, & the govt's actions today further prioritise a relationship with the US over transparency with the British public. We need urgent action to clean up politics.
It's been another busy week in Westminster - here's what I've been up to as your MP!
I welcome the Rycroft Review and the action the govt has taken on crypto and overseas donations - but there is so much more to do to root out foreign interference in our democracy. I'll keep pushing on this in Committee for the Representation of the People Bill.
Every day we watch as the US and Israel breach intl law with seeming impunity, wreaking chaos and devastation on the world stage. This cannot continue. The UK must take serious action and make clear we will not be made accomplice to Trump and Netanyahu's illegal aggression.
Our current first-past-the-post voting system is hugely undemocratic, allowing a political party to secure a massive majority of seats on a minority vote. We need to introduce proportional representation now to ensure every voice is heard and every vote counts.
Rural constituencies like North Herefordshire have specific needs when it comes to SEND provision - making it more than disappointing when plans for a new specialist school in the county were cancelled last year & replaced with grossly inadequate funding allocation.
The next few days are crucial to stopping Reform and getting Hannah Spencer elected as Gorton and Denton's next MP. I'll be in Manchester on Polling Day, and I'd love to see you there! Sign up to join here: greenparty.org.uk/get-involved...
On Monday, Trump ran roughshod over intl law - the UK took no action. On Tuesday, Trump threatened a NATO ally - the UK took no action. Today, the UK supported Trump's military operation in the North Atlantic. When will this govt stop appeasing Trump and stand up for the rule of law?
The role of gold in financing the horrors we are seeing in Sudan, including through illicitly financing arms imports, cannot be underestimated. The UK must take action to stop illegal gold trade from fuelling this brutal conflict.

Breast cancer screening saves lives but access isn’t equal. Even after clinics reopened, breast cancer screenings remain stuck at pre-pandemic rates. New research shows screening rates are lowest (40–55%) among women with Medicaid, with income driving the biggest gaps. ow.ly/P5Gj50X71gz
