I spoke alongside my Conservative colleague Andrew Griffith and Robert Colvile when I hosted the launch of CenTax’s latest report in Parliament, with seven simple proposals for making tax fairer and more pro-growth. Have a read here: centax.org.uk/tax-reforms-...

I was glad to join the Remembrance Sunday commemoration at Earley St Peter's Church- thank you for having me! (3/3)

At a time when war and terror in Europe is on the rise, we owe it to our history and our future to remember that generation, and to meet the challenges of today with the same bravery that they did. (2/3)

With votes for 16-year-olds on the horizon, the Youth Parliament is one of our most important institutions for engaging young people. I hope that all the MYPs enjoy a day of fruitful debate in the home of British democracy.

This is one of many reasons we will never go back to austerity under a Labour government.

The launch of Labour's Best Start Family Hubs, one of which will be based in our constituency, will rebuild the childcare infrastructure that Osborne dismantled in the name of austerity.

In fact as IFS research has shown, investing in early childhood is one of the most effective uses of public spending; it lifts the burden felt by new parents and makes sure that our children get support, improving their long-term health and employment outcomes. (2/3)

I’m looking for the right person rather than the right CV; being a friendly, professional communicator is far more important than having any political experience!

Those numbers are from 2020, and since then, millions of people have spent lockdown gambling online, where there is little regulation and a high risk of addiction. A proper tax on online slots and predatory practices would raise money while also combatting problem gambling. (4/4)

At the moment, there are no disincentives to do this; 60% of the industry’s profits come from just the 5% of customers, who are either problem gamblers or at risk. (3/4)

There is far too much focus from gambling chiefs on moving players to low-cost, high-earning online slots, which are incredibly addictive and more likely to create problem gamblers. (2/4)

Last month my book entered the @thetimes.com Nonfiction Bestsellers’ List – thanks to @shelterbox.bsky.social for picking it for your book club! (2/2)

Like with #ReadingFC, this was caused by a lack of proper regulation for the sport. That’s why we need the Independent Football Regulator set up as soon as possible. (2/2)

We agreed the system is broken. This week in Parliament I asked the schools minister to keep young people like Megan at the heart of their White Paper reforms to SEND.
