🌹 Labour MP for Stoke-on-Trent South
- Well folks, my first day in Parliament! Meeting lots of people, getting settled and looking forward to the hard work ahead I will be fighting every day for our communities across the constituency. Thanks to the brilliant parliamentary staff for helping my first day go smoothly
- For the families having to visit food banks. For the NHS staff working endless shifts, feeling undervalued. For the pensioners worried about putting the heating on. For the families worried about their mortgages rising. Vote for change. #VoteLabour on the 4th of July.
00:00 - Regardless of how you stand on the principle of assisted dying, this bill is not good enough. It is a poorly crafted piece of legislation being rushed through and as such is potentially very harmful. I will not be voting for it.One of the issues I’ve thought most deeply on since my election is the Terminally Ill Adults (end of life) Bill (assisted dying). I remain in favour of the principle of people having a choice, and have listened to voices on all sides including over 100 at community events in
00:00 - A bright pink taxi! This Barbie is off to parliament 👀
- Thank you Stoke-on-Trent South. Honestly so grateful to every single person who made this possible. The hard work begins now.Labour GAIN Stoke-on-Trent South from the Conservatives 🌹
- 🌹What a pleasure to meet the formidable @HarrietHarman - a total trailblazer and Labour icon. Harriet’s long record of public service speaks for itself. Not only has she paved the way for women in politics, she’s also clearly got a great taste in suits 👀
- Elder abuse is a real issue, especially when wills are involved. This bill is not sufficient to guard against coercion and is unsafe. We must listen to experts. We have a responsibility as legislators to ensure bills we approve are safe. This bill isn't.'The concern is the assisted dying bill will harm more people than it will help' Professor of palliative medicine Baroness Finlay tells @skysarahjane how easy it is for coercion to happen and says she has experienced it first hand. trib.al/Q07db1Y 📺 Sky 501
00:00 - A response from me on the Getting Britain Working letter
- The honour of a lifetime to have been elected as your Labour MP for Stoke-on-Trent South and the Villages! 🌹❤️
00:00 - Agree. My name is also on the amendment and I too am confident in our leader. He inherited a country on its knees economically, broken public services and an uncertain global situation, and is handling it. This is one policy point in one bill we want reconsidering. That's all.This helps absolutely no one. My name is on the amendment and like others I am confident in our leader. He’s doing a good job cleaning up the Tory mess. It’s one policy that needs fixing and it sounds like our reasonable concerns are being listened to.
- In year 7 at Calder High School Mrs. Gardner was one of my most fun teachers. I don’t think either of us imagined that years later we’d both be part of a new intake of fantastic Labour MPs @AllisonCGardner
- Proud to have hosted @Keir_Starmer today in Longton visiting Duchess China with Keith Brymer Jones. We discussed the opportunity that apprenticeships provide and the importance of creativity in schools. An inspiring day.
- So proud. I may be an MP now but I will say that teaching is a vocation and the best job anyone can do. I am so pleased, now we have a Labour government, teachers and schools will get the support they need to deliver the education our children deserve.Two members of our Calder alumni- a student and a member of staff- were sworn into the House of Commons this week as Members of Parliament! Congratulations! @JoshFG @AllisonCGardner #wearecalder
