Policy must be based on evidence to be effective – so why, given agricultural pollution makes up 40% of the pollution in our waterways, did the government’s Water White Paper dedicate only a single page to addressing it?

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.
Among the horrifying testimonies emerging from Iran is the use of sexual assault as a weapon of repression against detainees. The UK govt urgently must raise these accounts in their conversations with Iranian representatives & lay out steps to support the safety of protestors.
Lawyers, genocide scholars, the ICJ, and the UN Commission of Inquiry state the Israeli govt's actions in Gaza amount to genocide - so why does the UK still maintain there is no plausible risk of genocide, in the face of overwhelming evidence? Why does the UK continue to be complicit?
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.
It's been another busy week as MP for North Herefordshire - here's quick update on what I've been up to!
The Representation of the People Bill contains some useful measures, but it must go further – put proportional representation on the statute books, shut loopholes that let dark money in, and modernise media platform oversights to stop misinformation and disinformation.
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.
The Mandelson scandal must lead to a fundamental change in the political establishment's treatment of the brave women and girls who speak out about horrific abuse at the hands of men like Jeffrey Epstein - and the treatment of those who support, enable, or allow those abuses.
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.
Rivers are the lifeblood of our landscapes - but in many constituencies like mine, they're under threat. It was an honour to present my petition on behalf of constituents, calling on the govt to take further action to address pollution and save the River Wye and its tributaries.
Always fun at Flare 💥 As a previous hospitality staff member, The America ppl do not want to be served this BS anymore. And
The Irish government is making us complicit. And then they try to tell us black is white. People can see through it. We know if they can get rid of the triple lock, they will be sending Irish soldiers abroad to fight and die in wars for US imperialism. That's why we need resistance on the streets.

So far, this trip feels heavy on pageantry and light on substance. Plenty of cordial exchanges, but few tangible deliverables. Maybe that changes tomorrow. But at the moment, Trump seems to view a good meeting with Xi as the goal itself.
