Do you think the CEO of Yorkshire Water deserves a £1.3 million pay bonus?
I don't. I think it’s a disgrace.
I’m calling on her to donate it to the Yorkshire Rivers Trust.

I have been particularly closely engaged with constituents in Cullingworth and Wilsden regarding recent planning applications for battery storage.
I have always been clear that new infrastructure MUST bring benefits to the local community.
That means cheaper bills and local community funding.

I am deeply shocked by the horrific attack on the synagogue in Manchester today on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
My thoughts are with the loved ones of everyone affected by this horrific attack and Jewish communities here in the Bradford district and across the UK.

🇬🇧 I’m proud to be British.
Jo Cox once said, “We are far more united and have far more in common with each other than the things that divide us.”
I remember Jo’s words and her actions as a Parliamentarian in all I do as an MP, and I believe what she said rings just as true today as it ever has.

This week, I visited a primary school where children were learning about British values.
It made me reflect on the events in London last weekend.
I’m proud to be British. A diverse and tolerant nation.
That’s why I will always oppose discrimination and prejudice in any form.

🚰 It’s time for radical action.
I strongly support the Labour Government’s announcement that they will be abolishing Ofwat and strengthening oversight.
But, I believe it is time not only to merge the regulators but also to restructure failing companies like Yorkshire Water.

Why should we have to accept worse outcomes in health just because we are from the North?
I’m calling for a national, cross-government strategy to address health inequalities.

Thank you to the MPs who joined us to hear from those who rely on care, and their carers.
