Just voted for @lucympowell.bsky.social as @uklabour.bsky.social Deputy Leader, not just because she showed support for our awesome Seagulls @wsmafc.bsky.social 🖤😜
We had two awesome candidates to help shape the future of our party, but Lucy can give the members the time and attention they deserve.

The reports of an Israeli airstrike on Iran are deeply alarming.
At a time of growing tension, stability in the Middle East is essential - not just for the region, but for global security, and above all, for the innocent civilians and children who always bear the heaviest cost.

Fish and Chip Day (6th June) is nearly here – and I'm on a mission to crown the best fish and chip shop in town! Whether it’s the perfectly crispy batter, golden chips, or that unbeatable curry sauce (my personal fave), we want to know who YOU think deserves the title.

I chatted with the kids at Mendip Green Primary School about the laws they wanted to make. Their ideas were great; Kier might have to watch out!👩⚖️
Mendip Green School really is fantastic; it is obvious from how respectful and engaged the children are📚

There were some great questions about what I do, what HP sauce is (House of Parliament Sauce!!) and LOTS of questions about why I can't wear trainers and jeans in the Houses of Common👟
I've got some more schools on my list, but are there any school events you'd like to see me at? Comment below 👇

Happy Mother's Day! 🌸
My mum is a legend. As I've got older, and in particular as I've navigated the highs and lows of the past year, making big decisions and doing things I never EVER thought I would do, I've realised just how lucky

On the doors on Saturday, James and I heard key concerns around electric bikes, speeding, especially along Argyle Avenue, and antisocial behaviour.
James and I are raising these issues with the council and will follow up on progress. I want to be an MP who acts on your concerns and listens.

Happy International Women’s Day! 🌸
Today, we celebrate the remarkable women who inspire, empower, and pave the way for future generations. From everyday heroes to pioneers across all fields, the strength, resilience, and brilliance of women deserve recognition every day, not just today.

The cost of living has impacted everyone, but I was horrified to discover the rising cost of formula milk. In the past two years, the price of the cheapest brand has risen by 45%, with an average price hike across all brands of 25% 🍼
