Member of Parliament for Spen Valley
This #RoadSafetyWeek, the Government is preparing the biggest overhaul of road safety in over a decade. With 1,600 lives lost each year, action is overdue. A new strategy with stronger protections, better education and smarter infrastructure is coming in the weeks ahead.

Today is #AskHerToStand Day I’m proud to back @5050parliament.bsky.social

Think of 1–3 women who’d make great leaders — and ask them to consider standing.

Women’s representation in politics is at risk of going backwards, which isn’t surprising when you see the vile abuse & threats faced by women in public life, but without women stepping forward the issues we care about will not be represented. Proud to support 50:50Parliament🗳️

Our British service personnel & their families make extraordinary sacrifices to keep us safe. The least they deserve is a decent home. The Government has launched the biggest upgrade to armed forces housing in 50yrs, with 40,000 homes being modernised, refurbished or rebuilt

I planted a poppy in the Speaker’s Garden of Remembrance to honour the courage and sacrifice of our Armed Forces and their families — in Spen Valley, across the UK, and the Commonwealth. We will never forget their service. ❤️🌺 #LestWeForget #WeWillRememberThem

96% of women surveyed said that menopause affects their quality of life. Still lots to do to raise awareness & improve education on this really important issue. Thanks to the wonderful @carolynharris.bsky.social @mariellafrostrup.bsky.social & the #MenopauseMandate team👏🏻 #WorldMenopauseDay

This week I spoke in Parliament about the need for better care & recognition for people living with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS). Huge thanks to Cat Smith MP for leading this important debate & shining a light on an often-overlooked condition #PoTS #SpenValley

Thank you to Communities Inc. for coming to Parliament during #HateCrimeAwarenessWeek to talk about the important work they do tackling hate and prejudice - sadly their work is more important than ever #NationalHCAW #NoPlaceForHate

So moving to visit the ‘Speak Their Name’ exhibition in Parliament. The beautiful quilts are created by families & friends in loving memory of someone they’ve lost to suicide. A powerful reminder of the need for continued work on suicide prevention: speaktheirname.org/home/

Today marks 4 years since the murder of #SirDavidAmess. Thinking of David’s family and friends, and everyone whose lives were changed forever on that dreadful day❤️ Political violence has no place in our society.

Excellent statement from Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood on the antisemitic Manchester terrorist attack. And a clear message of unity: “…those who seek to divide us, by pitting one against another - they will fail. No act of terror will ever defeat us.”

The ceasefire agreement in Gaza is a long-overdue moment of hope. The violence must end, the hostages must be released, and aid must reach those in desperate need. There is still a long way to go to achieve a lasting peace and a two-state solution but this is an important step⤵️

Today marks 2 years since the horrific attacks on Israel by Hamas terrorists. It will be a deeply difficult day for many. We must: Release the hostages. Stop the bombing. Surge aid into Gaza. Secure a ceasefire and work towards a lasting peace for all Israelis and Palestinians.
