My article for the Guardian: Fixing England’s water isn’t just the right thing to do – it can be the start of Labour’s fightback

I wrote an article for the Guardian about how fixing England’s broken water system can be the start of Labour’s fight back against Reform. “Labour must reconnect with the understanding that the public are not cogs for the benefit of an abstract economy. They are the economy. Until we remember…

Opinion: Fixing England’s Broken Water System

Water companies have failed communities and the environment. I set out why Labour must lead the fightback with public ownership and strong regulation. This is about fairness and resilience.

Supporting local conservation organisations calls for stronger protections for our natural environment

The Planning and Infrastructure Bill is making its way through parliament. I have written to the Minister of Planning to support local conservation organisations calling for stronger protections for our natural environment, vital wildlife habitats, and chalk streams. Most of the world’s chalk streams – approximately 85% – are located…

Supporting chalk stream river protection

I have shown my support for protecting chalk streams by signing Early Day Motion 1077, Chalk stream river protection. According to the Norfolk Wildlife Trust, “The majority of the world’s chalk streams – around 85% – are found in England, and approximately 10% of these are found in Norfolk, which…
