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.

In trying to avoid releasing material which may be embarrassing for the UK govt or offensive to the sensitivities of one Donald Trump, the govt has set up a process which risks hugely delaying the release of papers relating to Mandelson's appointment.
Ridiculous that young people, who are not able to drive as a means of transport, are so often excluded from conversations around concessionary bus travel. We need free bus travel for young people, disabled people, and the elderly as standard - not based on a postcode lottery.
The PM says it is "unforgivable" that he was not informed about Mandelson failing vetting. It is Starmer's clear lack of judgement and disregard for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein which is unforgivable. The PM must take responsibility and resign.
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.
Happy Friday everyone - here with a quick update on what I've been up to as your MP this week!
After months of delay, the Warm Homes Plan was finally published yesterday. While the Plan is a very welcome step in tackling fuel poverty and upgrading our housing stock, there is still much more to do to make our homes truly fit for the future.
It's clear we need to go much further to combat the corrosive impacts of huge political donations on UK politics. That means banning crypto donations, yes - but also introducing a cap on individual donations, greater transparency on campaign donations and spending, and more.
We must defend UK democracy from Russian interference and the wider web of dirty money and misinformation which enables bad actors to undermine trust in politics. The Elections Bill is crucial in addressing this - the govt must not delay it any further.
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.
