Powerful questioning from my colleague @elliechowns.bsky.social, pinning the government on exactly what it needs to do - NOW - to bring about an end to the atrocities being committed in Sudan.
In the midst of horrific mass killings and violence, British-made military equipment has been found in Sudan.
It's clear our arms export licensing system is not fit for purpose; we need a full review, alongside an embargo on all arms exports to the UAE now.

We didn't get everything we wanted in the Renters' Rights Act. I was on the Bill committee, and I put forward loads of amendments to try to make it stronger, especially on affordability. And I'll keep pushing on that.
But it's still a huge step forward from the status quo, and long overdue. 🙏
