I co-sign Excluded UK parliamentary letter

Millions of people and small businesses are being excluded from Coronavirus support packages. The Government must face up to that reality, close gaps in support, and make sure that there is a strong safety net that catches everyone who needs it. This is something that many MPs from across parties…

My Politics Homes article: vaccine access inequality

As long as inequity in vaccine access continues, the pandemic will continue. Rather than further accelerating vaccine nationalism, preferential supply and rationing, we should put our efforts into scaling-up manufacturing so that enough vaccine doses can be made for the whole world to benefit. https://www.politicshome.com/…/no-one-is-safe-until…

Labour calls debate on removal of dangerous cladding

It is the responsibility of Government to make homes safe and protect people. It is a scandal that nearly four years after the Grenfell Tower fire, hundreds of thousands of people, including some of my constituents in Norwich South, are still live in buildings covered in dangerous cladding.

The Covid-19 vaccines are proven to be effective and safe. They will save lives. This is an area where there is cross-party agreement. Each of us can do our part to protect ourselves and our communities. We can slow the transmission of the virus. When it is my turn, I…

Norwich Holocaust Memorial Day Service

Today is #HolocaustMemorialDay. No day should pass where we don’t reflect and learn both individually and collectively from the mistakes and wrongs of the past. Today, we specifically remember those who were murdered by the Nazis, including 6 million Jews, and victims of more recent genocides. Today – and every…

Keeping in touch with residents in Norwich

It was great to speak to Norwich South residents by phone on Saturday as part of Norwich Labour Party’s phone bank! Lockdown makes it more difficult to reach out to local people: usually we’d be out on the #labourdoorstep every week, knocking on doors and asking about local issues. Norwich…

I join EDP’s ‘Fightback East’ campaign

The Eastern Daily Press has started a campaign called Fightback East calling on the government to not overlook the needs of the eastern region in the recovery from Covid. The paper asked me for comment and this what I said: “There is absolutely no justification for returning to sink or…
