If an MP chooses to move from the party they represented when they were elected this should be treated as a resignation and an immediate by-election to allow the people not the MP decide who best presents their views! The electorate is being taken for a ride!

Photographer Weimin Chu captures the breathtaking scale of China's wind and solar buildout in images that draw from the visual language of Chinese ink paintings.
Photos Capture Breathtaking Scale of China's Wind and Solar Buildout
Last year China installed more than half of all wind and solar added globally. In May alone, it added enough renewable energy to power Poland, installing solar panels at a rate of roughly 100 every second.

Wind generated nearly 30% of the UK's electricity last year, with over 6% coming from solar panels. This a great step in the right direction, but we need the government to go further and move faster to ensure we can scale up and meet the UK's clean power targets. ✊

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

I don’t get climate crisis deniers! I don’t need scientists, activists or politicians to tell me whether it exists, I feel it! Warmer winters & scorching summers. I watch & read the news, like this piece. Accept that the climate has changed! We need to limit it & prepare for the consequences now!

There is almost no transparency when it comes to lobbying MPs. We all need to know who politicians are listening to.

Today I have published a log of every private policy meeting with campaigners, unions, charities and businesses in my first year as an MP.

Every MP should have to do the same.
