    Just had to withdraw my comment in the @HouseofCommons saying the Prime Minister had lied. Lie and remain PM but call out those lies and risk being thrown out Parliament. This is UK politics in 2022.

    πŸ—³For the record, I would have voted against the shoddy #InternalMarketBill πŸ‘©β€βš•οΈDue to ill health, I'm still in recovery & unable to travel. I don't qualify for a proxy vote. ⏰Westminster must modernise so all MPs - regardless of party - can vote and represent our constituents.

    I’ve been prevented from voting tonight on a UK Budget that will impact my constituents. Why? Because I had a stroke. I'm not broken; Westminster is.
