Children are losing confidence, losing resilience and losing their creativity.

AI Chatbots provide countless opportunities, but also countless risks. We need to regulate these bots to keep all users safe online.

I have launched a campaign calling for stronger regulation of AI chatbots.

Many #AI chatbots are designed to act like friends, therapists or even doctors yet they have no qualifications and almost no rules governing how they behave.

We need a statutory public inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein and his influence in British politics to uncover the truth and get justice for victims.
Months ago, I asked the Prime Minister a simple question: why did he keep backing Mandelson despite his Epstein links, and what leverage might the Trump administration have over him?

Instead of answering, he waved it away.

Which three words do parents use to describe their children’s use of AI chatbots? Concerning, damaging and scary.

And what percentage thought AI chatbots were addictive? 90%.

We must regulate new technologies before they reach children, not after the damage is done.

Adding to the office dog collection every time @dogstrust.bsky.social visits Parliament 🐶🐾

I go for the policy chat… and somehow leave with another dog to add to the pack.

Accidentally starting a collection at this point.

Every 90 seconds, someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer.

On #WorldCancerDay, I want to express my thanks to the researchers, healthcare staff, volunteers and carers who work tirelessly to support those living with cancer.

Rural areas have been left isolated after bus companies and Conservative councils cut routes, leaving people unable to travel to GP appointments or get to school.

Short sighted 'savings' will only lead to bigger costs for all of us later. We should be expanding rural bus services, not cutting them.

These allegations are incredibly serious, it is now only right that the police investigate Peter Mandelson for potential misconduct in public office.
Peter Mandelson leaked a sensitive UK government document to Jeffrey Epstein while he was business secretary that proposed £20bn of asset sales and revealed Labour’s tax policy plans. ft.trib.al/dT7pS1s

Peter Mandelson should resign.

@dannychambers.bsky.social has been speaking with parents in Winchester about the impact of AI
chatbots on children and the stories are upsetting.

We must regulate new technologies before they are placed in the hands of children, not after the damage is done.

Places such as South Wonston, Sutton Scotney and New Alresford sit in the worst ten per cent in the UK for connectivity. It is disgraceful that, in modern Britain, many in rural areas are left isolated.

One third of adults now use AI chatbots for emotional support yet there is still no clear regulation on this.

@dannychambers.bsky.social asked the Health Secretary what assessment has been made of AI chatbots. The response: no assessment has been made.

In the UK, over 25% of dogs are recorded as belonging to breeds with extreme conformation features - like flat-faced dogs which struggle to breathe & need surgery just to survive.

Honoured to join the All-Party Parliamentary Dog Advisory Welfare Group to discuss the future of dog welfare. #APDAWG

If the words “never again” are to mean anything, they must represent a shared commitment to challenge hatred wherever it appears. Sadly, this year, Holocaust Memorial Day came against the backdrop of antisemitism on the rise.

The Conservatives are making it crystal clear that they are purposely leaving sensible centrists out in the cold.

Only the Liberal Democrats are offering a realistic alternative to the two parties of old, and the populist fantasists on the extremes. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I welcome support for our pubs, but this is too little, too late. A one-off bailout is not a long-term plan. Many pubs still face big business rate rises and the wider hospitality sector is ignored. We need a full review of business and property rates.

Today, on Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered in the Holocaust, and the millions of others killed under Nazi persecution.

We honour survivors and renew our commitment to a country where all can live, worship and gather in safety.

It's time to get serious about funding defence.

Everyone is saying we 'must do more' but it's all talk.

Our plan to issue bonds for funding defence will raise £20bn and give our allies the reassurance that Britain is serious about defending Europe.
