Thank you to everyone who donated sleeping bags this month.
We've now delivered these to Ace of Clubs, who were grateful to receive them.
Unfortunately, there is an ongoing need for sleeping bags for rough sleepers. If you have one to donate, please do take it to them.

I recently visited City Heights Academy for an interview with student leaders from Years 7–10.
They asked wide‑ranging, probing questions on everything from the economy and migration to mental health, climate breakdown and how young people can drive change.

Thank you to the team at Anthony Nolan for showing me around the labs to find out more about stem cell donor matches and discuss recruitment challenges.
With declining sign‑ups since COVID, especially among minority ethnic donors, boosting uptake is vital.

Solidarity with striking resident doctors in @bma.org.uk
The impact of these strikes only shows how essential they are and how strained their working conditions have become.
For the sake of our NHS, this dispute must be resolved with a clear commitment to full pay restoration.

Fantastic to meet with Jubilee Primary's School Council to talk about the role of an MP.
Pupils asked brilliant and thoughtful questions.
They are currently running their own ballot on attendance rewards, giving them hands-on experience of voting and the democratic process.

I am horrified by the antisemitic mass shooting at Bondi Beach, targeting Jewish people as they came together for Hannukah.
My thoughts and prayers are with those killed, injured, and Jewish communities around the world, who are grieving when they should have been celebrating.

The interim report into maternity services paints a familiar picture of systemic failings.
The number of women dying in childbirth is increasing across the board.
We need urgent action to address this and deliver the high level of personalised care that every woman deserves.

When governments avoid the term genocide, it is not because facts on the ground are unclear.
It is because the implications are inconvenient.
The Gaza genocide must end. The UK must stop enabling violence.

Earlier this week, I launched a sleeping bag donation drive for rough sleepers.
Too many people are sleeping rough on our streets this winter.
If you have a spare sleeping bag, drop it off at my constituency office and we'll get it to someone who needs it.
