Yesterday, I testified before @council.nyc.gov on my legal action against SpaceXAI. In my speech I said we were promised that artificial intelligence could hold the cure to cancer. Yet it is turning into a cancer which, left unchecked, has the potential to harm us all. lnkd.in/p/gQbfKJJN

Absolutely brilliant to hear Yvette Cooper call violence against women and girls an “epidemic” and for it to be formally treated as a “public health” crisis. Alongside the roll out of Steps to Safety to GPs this represents a clear commitment to tackling VAWG.

I feel incredibly honoured to have been named Scottish Braveheart MP of the Year. It was humbling to be shortlisted alongside my wonderful colleagues, Patricia Ferguson and Brian Leishman. Thank you to @holyroodmag.bsky.social and the sponsors for a fantastic evening. 1/2

🧵1/ I've spent more than a decade working on anti-bribery and corruption. I know a red flag when I see one. That's why I’ve reported Nigel Farage to Parliament’s Standards Commissioner. (H/T @rowenamason.bsky.social and @tomburgis.bsky.social).

Today, I’m launching a High Court claim against xAI, the company behind Grok. I am just one of thousands of women and even children who have been the victim of abusive and sexualised AI deepfakes. This should never have happened – and xAI must be held accountable. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Today our Vice Chair @tracygilbertmp.bsky.social led a debate in Parliament on sex trafficking in Scotland. Tracy revealed she has written to Police Scotland to report websites advertising prostitution for violating Scotland's anti-trafficking law. The max penalty is life. 👇

Important news: Today, the UK Government has tabled an amendment to the Crime & Policing Bill giving it the power to force p*rnography websites to verify everyone in their videos is an adult, gave permission for the video to be published and can later withdraw their consent. 1/3

The result in Gorton and Denton is very disappointing. We will reflect, act & continue to learn lessons in the coming days & weeks. Today, I want to thank Angeliki Stogia for her energy & positivity over the campaign, the brilliant Labour staff & thousands of volunteers who worked their socks off.

Don’t look back in anger… on Friday. Only Labour can beat Reform. 👇🏻 www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

When I passed my driving test, I was able to take an intensive week-long course and complete my test within that period. Now, constituents in Edinburgh North and Leith are waiting months just to secure a test. This is limiting opportunities in work, training and education

Yesterday, I voted to remove the two-child benefit cap, giving 2,000 children in Edinburgh North & Leith a fairer start in life and lifting them out of poverty.

I spoke in a Westminster Hall debate about the petition on indefinite leave to remain, which hundreds of my constituents signed and why we must recognise and value the contribution immigration makes to our country.

Today our Vice Chair @tracygilbertmp.bsky.social will petition Parliament to tackle violence against women by: ➡️ forcing p*rnography websites to verify age & consent of everyone on their platform & give performers right to withdraw consent ➡️ extend offline safeguards to online platforms

The Labour Government has scrapped the Two Child Limit — ending the cruel rape clause that forced survivors to disclose trauma. As we mark #16Days of Activism, this is Labour delivering dignity, equality & justice at the heart of our policy.

I am so pleased that the UK Government have implemented their 2024 manifesto plan of scrapping the two-child benefit cap. This will support over 1,400 children in my constituency of Edinburgh North and Leith, and I know my constituents will warmly welcome this.

Good employers have nothing to fear when it comes to this Labour government's Employment Rights Bill.

Pimping websites are used by sex traffickers to advertise victims @ofcom.bsky.social guidance for these sites on implementing the Online Safety Act is totally inadequate and deeply harmful Our Chair @tonia-antoniazzi.bsky.social has written to CEO Dame Melanie Dawes requesting urgent changes 1/2

1/2 My Absent Voting Bill has now received Royal Assent and become law, the first Private Member’s Bill of this Parliament! It means it can be used in the Scottish and Welsh elections next year, which feels like a such an achievement.

UK Feminista was proud to support a discussion in Parliament last wk with Mia de Faoite - survivor, campaigner & Training Lead at Ruhama. Mia powerfully argued how and why the Government should recognise that sexual consent cannot be purchased. Thanks to @tracygilbertmp.bsky.social for hosting.
