She’s right. She *deliberately* hacked into Harriet Harman’s website, whereas Rachel Reeves is accused of obtaining a license late by accident. I assume that’s what she means, given Badenoch is widely known for her thoughtfulness and her self-awareness.
Badenoch says hacking into Harriet Harman's website 17 years ago 'not the same' as Reeves breaking law

Kemi Badenoch has said hacking into Harriet Harman's website when she was younger is "not the same" as Rachel Reeves failing to get a £900 rental licence for her home.

To ask questions in parliament MPs submit written questions to a ballot,
or stand up & sit down (bob) on a question asked by someone else. The written question is like a starter so ministers knows the subject. My success ratio in the ballot is 8 for 169. Totally logical system🙄

One of my proudest days as an MP. Today we have ended the presumption of contact which forced children to have contact with abusers - children’s safety must come first

We won’t reach net zero without doing more to use less energy. And that includes insulating our homes. Yesterday a national audit office report showed that 98% of homes insulated under the last government were faulty. I asked the minister if this government will do better!

Genuine question. How do we best respond to misinformation in a public roll?
Be it antivaxers, politically motivated bad faith reporting on the left or right, or people acting in bad faith on local forums.
Do we give it more power by engaging with it, how do we distinguish the ones to reply to?

Thank you to everyone who attended my surgery in Elland today. An important part of my job is helping people navigate systems that have failed them. I also work to make sure I take stories from my surgeries and casework to ministers to strengthen our laws and fix our systems.

Did you know that Calder Valley is referred to as valve valley. We have 20 companies that make, fix, or sell valves round Brighouse & Elland. But many have struggles around skills. I’ve written for the courier about the wave of apprenticeships industry needs. halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/politics/…

Today the @gmcuk.bsky.social launch their national training survey. The surveys of 50,637 doctors in training and 21,289 trainers can be a canary in the coal mine to tell us the state of the NHS. Here is a thread of 6 charts and what they tell us about the state of the health services

One area that I have been working on since my election is campaigning to end the presumption of contact in family courts which gives abusers access to their children. Too frequently the voices of abusers are heard over the voices of children. I pushed the minister further on this today.

I have had someone stop me in the street and complain that we don’t tax business enough, before complaining about the business tax their cooperative pays. Tax is more complex than slogans.
A government trusts these numbers at their peril: a wealth tax is popular for so long as people assume it’s *someone else’s* wealth being taxed.
The best wealth tax would be a land value tax. Try introducing that without a *massive* fuss.

With suggestions of a wealth tax back on the agenda, our polling shows from a public opinion perspective wealth taxes are more popular than not on their own terms, and relative to other taxes they’re the most popular way to raise new money.

I have already made clear my concerns about the impact of the proposed benefit changes announced in the spring statement.
Today in treasury questions I asked specifically about the estimated increase in child poverty the changes will cause and how the government will tackle that.
