I know people feel raw about this and I do understand. I’d have voted for a workable bill. But having spoken on a number of occasions on palliative care and social care it’s pretty galling to be accused of bad faith

Member of Parliament for Calder Valley, Health and Social Care Select Committee Member, mediocre fell runner - never knowingly on message.
Today I voted against the Terminally Ill Adults (end of life) bill. Not because I oppose the principle but because the bill isn’t safe. I believe palliative care isn’t good enough and not enough has been done to guard against cohesion youtu.be/Jcf6h0PMsN0?...

I was proud to be in parliament to hear the foreign secretary announce comprehensive sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements. Alongside France and Canada. I spoke to push the foreign secretary on calling out settler violence and the collusion of the Israeli army in it.
Following a motion originally proposed by our Labour Councillors, the Reform Leader of Calderdale Council recently contacted me about Yorkshire Water’s performance. I am very happy to work with any good faith attempt to help the people of Calderdale and hold our water companies to account.
I recently talked to Shelagh Fogarty about the staggering statistics around sexual misconduct in the medical profession, with only 6% of doctors accused of rape suspended or struck off. youtu.be/hiP8q1XJaag?...

In the past 24 hours I’ve spoken about male violence against women and made a joke about Reform… to say my online mentions are unpleasant would be an understatement! 🙈🙈
I’m so proud of my work with the less survivable cancers task force- something we can make a real difference on in parliament
Yesterday, the APPG on Less Survivable Cancers met to discuss how to drive the development of innovative treatments and diagnostic tools for rare cancers. We are delighted that Minister @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social attended and are grateful to @joshfg.bsky.social for chairing.
Today I am speaking at Woman’s Aid conference. One area of work I’m most proud of is ending the presumption, in family courts, that contact with an abuser is beneficial to a child. A policy directly responsible for the death of 67 children. I asked the minister about it recently
Thanks to @jessasatomp.bsky.social & @joshfg.bsky.social for hosting such an important Parliamentary roundtable on health misinformation and @debscohen.bsky.social's book "Bad Influence". I was delighted to attend, it was the perfect way to wrap up @wcrf.org's #CancerPreventionActionWeek for 2026!
When Mike Payne was suspended by the Conservative Party for his post on twitter referring to “Muslim Parasites” I thought we in Calderdale had seen the last of him. Calderdale Reform have just made him a cabinet member. Calderdale is better than this www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...

I am told @reform-uk-official.bsky.social have posted Colne Valley flyers for Kirklees to my Calderdale constituents in Outlane. You’d have thought of all people Reform would respect a border!
Very pleased to see the work I’ve done on sexual misconduct in medicine being featured in the Daily Mail this weekend www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
Only one in 20 doctors accused of sexual misconduct get struck off
At least 1031 complaints alleging sexual harassment, sexual assault, attempted rape and rape have been made to the GMC since 2018, figures show.

This week we launched the national cancer plan. It will revolutionise research, care, treatment and survival for cancer sufferers. This has been lauded by doctors and cancer charities alike. I’m proud to be in parliament fighting for our cancer treatment to be the best in the world.
We just need 45 more defections to make the Lib Dems the official opposition….
Solid 20k run as part of my marathon training today, I’m not saying my Garmin is being a bit extra but it informed me I’ll need 95 hours to recover. Anyway sponsor me it’s for a cause that means a lot to me. 2026tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/josh-fent...

"The level of sexual misconduct we see in the medical workforce is staggering" The words of the head of the General Medical Council in response to my FOI request that found only 53 out of nearly 1,000 reports of sexual misconduct lead to a doctor suspended or struck off. youtu.be/yyAY_SUTHzQ?...

Andrew Gwynne was very kind when my brother passed away. I wouldn’t seek for a second to justify or defend his WhatsApps. But it’s honestly quite sad that the end of a 20 year parliamentary career due to ill health is being viewed through the lens of Labour psychodrama.
Only one Tory on the order paper for Today’s PMQs. It suggests that few Conservative’s are confident are confident enough in their party to want to put into the ballot for questions.
Today marks a year since I lost my brother Alex to high grade acinic cell carcinoma, one of the most painful moments in my life. I will be running the London marathon in his memory for rare cancer charities 2026tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/josh-fent...

PLANS FOR TRINITY MERGER WITHDRAWN My full statement
I was proud to add my name to this call for a ban on social media for under 16s. The evidence is becoming increasingly clear that the pressure and emotional toll that social media is having a negative impact on our young people and we should do what we can to protect them from that.
Thoughts and prayers with hospitality workers faced with a table that looks like this.
To be fair it shouldn’t surprise us that Farage welcomes Frauds into Reform. Seems on brand.
I have to say that running for the leadership of a party then going to join a different one when you don’t get your own way really is a shoddy way to behave. I’ve been involved in the Labour party for 26 years now, I can’t imagine treating the activists I’ve worked with with such little respect.
Today I have written to the Secretary of State for Education to share my concerns and those of parents about the proposed merger of Pennine Academy Learning Trust (PALT) and the Trinity chain of academies.
Reform is quickly becoming a greater collection of the worst possible people to be stuck in a lift with.
BREAKING Kemi Badenoch has sacked Robert Jenrick from the shadow cabinet, removed the whip and suspended his party membership. She says she was "presented with clear, irrefutable evidence that he was plotting in secret to defect" to Reform
