Great to be on BBC Politics South this morning talking about the impact to residents that changes to the police would have, recent Conservative defections to Reform and littering.

If Lords want to survive they must accept their role is scrutiny not undermining democracy
This is a seminal moment for parliament. House of commons has the political supremacy & final say in lawmaking
Those who say this Bill was not in manifesto miss the point-it passed in HoC & should prevail

6 or 7 unelected lords should not have the power to thwart a Bill passed by elected MPs in the House of Commons!

The situation in Iran is truly awful. We called for proscription during debates last week & we need the PM to act now.
The EU has proscribed them, if our laws don’t allow it then let’s get the right legislation in place without delay.

We need to know how the Government plans to deal with Iran - and with Donald Trump’s plans for Iran. @jamesmaccleary.bsky.social
and I have written to the Defence and Foreign Secretaries today asking them to hold Iran’s leaders to account and to tell Parliament their plans.

It’s unacceptable that House of Lords seem to be filibustering this critical Bill. HoC debated & took decision to pass it
We need robust scrutiny but talking it out or disingenuous amendments like “an individual cannot travel abroad in the 12m before an application” are designed to wreck.

After President Trump’s disrespect of our military, I spoke up for our Armed Forces, who give everything to keep us safe.
We owe them and their families the correct support, yet it’s too often lacking in housing, education and healthcare. I will always fight to ensure they get what they deserve.
