Happy Friday everyone - here's what I've been up to as your MP this week!

Despite having no viable plan or the consent of the Commons, the UK Government has once again allowed Trump to drag Britain further into his illegal war in the Middle East.

My constituent has been waiting over five months to get a response from DWP about his UC case - really unacceptable. And this is by no means the only case. I challenged the Minister to ensure that DWP responds to the public - and MPs - within reasonable timescales.

As illegal international aggression once again highlights the need for investment in renewable energy, it is crucial the govt do everything possible to protect households from bearing the brunt of surging energy prices - and to ensure no energy company profits from this war.

Pitching development against defence is utterly short-sighted; we will not make Britain safer by making the rest of the world less secure.

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...

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.

I absolutely welcome the govt's new law making it illegal to create non-consensual intimate images - and I also recognise that legislation is only as good as its enforcement. We must ensure Ofcom's investigation is conducted swiftly; justice for victims cannot wait.

The govt is refusing to commit to an inquiry into the MOD's contracts with US-based spy tech giant Palantir despite the web of shady connections between Mandelson, Epstein, and Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel - this absolutely stinks.

When people #VoteGreen this May, they know they'll be voting for someone locally rooted, someone who deeply cares about the issues affecting our communities, and someone who will work their socks off to make hope normal again.

You may be burnt out in game because of this. #fyp #gaming #cs2 #mindset #gamingperformance

PabloReports: What do you make of Donald Trump saying that he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situations? Rep. McGovern: I mean, is anybody surprised? I’ve been saying all along that Donald Trump doesn’t give a shit about regular people in this country.

Conditions at West LA are unacceptable, and frankly, dangerous. Veterans’ lives are at real risk. We must address the root causes of the problems at West LA, or we will fail the thousands of veterans who should be able to call the National Soldiers’ Home their home.

This weekend, I helped cut the ribbon at Olmsted Park in Sedro-Woolley. I brought home $500,000 in federal dollars to help bring the park to life, and I'm glad that the community will be able to use this new space to play soccer, fish, picnic and more.
