We welcomed MP @alexsobel.co.uk to meet our Mechanical Engineering graduates and learn how the partnership with REMAP has helped make a positive impact on people’s lives 🤝 REMAP is a UK charity that creates innovative and accessible equipment for people with disabilities.

I welcome the Prime Minister’s recent announcement that the Government will build a National Care Service, which is urgently needed for my constituents and for people across the country.

Britain should lead a global ban on superintelligent AI

Britain has spent the past two years positioning itself as a global leader in AI safety, but it must now prepare for the possibility that even the ...

Data centres are now a vital part of modern infrastructure, supporting everything from public services to communications. But they also come with significant environmental impacts, which is why I believe they must be subject to the highest levels of scrutiny, regulation, and accountability.

We don’t trade with Russian-occupied territories, so why are we trading with Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories? #Palestine #HumanRights #WestBank #Gaza

Congratulations to Andy Burnham. I’m proud of some key legislative changes we made under Keir Starmer’s leadership, from strengthening workers’ rights to improving protections for renters, but there is still more to do.

I am devastated that the EHRC's Code of Practice will come into force on 5 August. I know this is a deeply difficult moment for the trans community, and I share the widespread concern that the Code is both unworkable and harmful.

I’m delighted the Government has announced its intention to publish regulations to tackle imports linked to illegal deforestation. For too long, UK consumers have unknowingly bought goods produced on illegally cleared land, including in West Papua. 🌳🌍 #Deforestation #ClimateAction #NatureRecovery

There are currently no limits on how much UK-based donors can give to political parties. I’m proposing a £1 million cap on donations to ensure our politics works in the public interest, not for the highest bidder. #Democracy #PoliticalDonations https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3wy268q48po

Labour MPs seek cap on political donations

Labour MPs believe a donations cap will be backed by dozens of MPs and likely next prime minister, Andy Burnham.

Peace isn't just the absence of war, it's rebuilt through co-operation. We've made that case, backing peacebuilding co-ops from the Middle East to post-war Ukraine. @alexsobel.co.uk's report from the Ukraine Recovery Conference shows why that argument is winning.

💥 THIS IS HUGE! The electoral reform amendment tabled by @alexsobel.co.uk is now the single biggest amendment since the general election. 166 MPs from 8 parties have added their names - a quarter of the House of Commons. The system isn't working and the new PM needs to make this a priority.

WATCH: @alexsobel.co.uk encourage Angela Rayner to join the many dozens of Labour MPs backing a National Commission on Electoral Reform 👇

📺 WATCH: Angela Rayner says there's a "consensus that we can't carry on with the system that we currently have". "This is one of the issues that is starting to feel louder and louder from the grassroots." PR really feels like an idea whose time has come 💪

Last month, I joined more than 100 MPs urging the Government to restart the medical evacuation scheme for critically and seriously ill children in Gaza.

Labour is right to resist calls for more drilling in the North Sea, which would have no impact on domestic energy bills and be unlikely to generate a meaningful economic windfall. @alexsobel.co.uk for @renewaljournal.bsky.social today ⬇️ renewal.org.uk/blog/drillin...

Drilling down

The government is right to stand firm on its commitment to ban new North Sea oil and gas licences - and it is vital that Labour resists the growing pressure from the political right to reverse course....

Britain isn’t truly sovereign if we can’t act in an AI emergency. Right now, there’s no “big red button” to shut down a dangerous data centre, putting people, our economy and national infrastructure at risk. My amendment would change that. #CyberSecurity #TechPolicy #UKPolitics #FutureOfTech

Happy to host Ruslan Stefanchuk to discuss how parliamentarians can continue leading support for Ukraine. This was all the more vital in light of Sunday night’s devastating assault, where Russia launched one of its largest aerial attacks yet, 681 missiles and drones, killing at least 10 people.

Important visit to Kyiv as UK Trade Envoy to advance mutual trade and advance #100YearPartnership agreement implementation before the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026 in Poland I was humbled to pay respect at the wall of memory to those who laid their lives defending Ukraine

Today marks the 10th Anniversary of Jo Cox’s tragic murder. Jo and I were both West Yorkshire candidates in the 2015 election. Getting to know her and see the great work she did on so many of the great causes that face us was inspiring.
