It shouldn't take an MP intervening in a complaint for the DVLA to finally respond to an individual - but for 18 of my constituents, this has been the only way to get a response. The system must work better to ensure timely responses to the public.

For over a year the UK govt has taken no serious action as the US and Israel flouted international law with impunity. Despite it becoming increasingly clear our inaction has only emboldened the two nations, the govt still refuse to condemn the illegal US/Israeli strikes on Iran.

Happy Friday everyone- here’s a quick update on what I’ve been up to as your MP this week!

Happy Friday everyone - here with another quick update on what I've been up to as your MP this week!

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.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says the war in Gaza Strip was a major factor for young voters in 2024 and argues Democrats are doing a “real disservice” by omitting it from post-election analysis.

World is on fire. Ugandan President t had cut off internet during the elections. The word on the streets is so they can rig the election and not allow citizens to have a voice. Same trick was applied in Tanzania.
