Tonight at 8pm, in just over an hour, the Wales Women's Football Team will take on France in the UEFA Women's EURO 2025.

I am one of over 100 Labour MPs that have signed this amendment to the UC & PIP Bill. Reform to the benefits system is urgently needed, but I cannot support this Bill as it stands.
It should be given further time for consideration, and disabled people and charities must be properly consulted on it.

Her Fur (Import & Sale) Bill will help protect millions of animals from being killed for their fur. We need MPs to do the right thing and take a stand against this cruelty, too.

Employment minister Alison McGovern came to Blackwood today for a roundtable discussion on welfare support.
We all came to the table with our own experiences of the system, and left with a determination to make it better.

This week, we delivered more than 1 million signatures, all calling for a ban on fur imports, to Number 10.
If my Fur Bill passes on #FridayFurteenth, it would do just that.
Let’s finally put the fur trade out of fashion.

Just 4-min walk from the Six Bells which closed in 2018. The community has a plan to bring it back to life as a place to meet, buy local produce and learn more about the Gwent Levels!

50 days until my Fur (Import and Sale) Bill returns to Parliament.
By banning imports, we can finally end our part in the cruel fur trade, two decades after we banned fur farming.
Let’s get this done.
