Great to be in Rugby town centre today with my colleague from Rugby Labour Party and our Councillors, meeting people, listening, talking about what we’re doing locally and nationally and gaining signature for my petition calling for more Dr-led urgent treatment at the local Hospital of St Cross.

Speculation about Andy Burnham’s return & a leadership challenge is bad for Labour & more importantly, the country.
We should back the Prime Minister as he leads the team delivering renewal for our county.

My view: Labour must avoid a return to the chaos of leadership challenges that we saw under the Conservatives. We should get behind the PM to deliver a more prosperous and fairer country.

We need a #RealManosphere to counter toxic content from people like Andrew Tate. Being strong does not mean being mean. And I will keep defending trans people's right to live with dignity. Kindness, empathy and fairness must guide us.

Met with Transport Minister to make the case for Gibbet Hill roundabout funding and road safety action. With DIRFT and Magna Park expanding, we need this junction upgraded. I have written to the Roads Minister urging its inclusion in RIS3 funding.

Reform UK may think they own patriotism. They don't. Our Labour government has pride in Britain rooted in decency and renewal, not division. We are an incredible country and don't need Reform to tell us. True patriotism means investing in communities, not grievance politics.

I utterly condemn the antisemitic terrorist attack on Jewish people on Bondi beach.
My thoughts are with all the victims and all affected by this barbaric attack.
We stand with Jewish people everywhere against the evil of antisemitism.

As Shabana Mahmoud makes clear, Keir Starmer is “not going”. He’s getting on with his job, and ministers, the parliamentary Labour Party & the WHOLE Labour movement need to focus every second of being in government on delivering for our country

2026 will be a big year. We in Labour must make and win the argument together that our progressive politics is changing peoples lives for the better. We must stay united, beat the politics of division and hate and overcome the challenges ahead.

380 young people in Rugby claim unemployment benefits. I am working to bring a youth hub to our constituency and campaigning for a Youth Triple Lock in Parliament. Our young people deserve real opportunities, not empty slogans.

Proud to join the cross-party Parliamentarians for Peace vigil at Westminster this week. 77 years since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and its call for equality, freedom and justice matters more than ever.

Congratulations to all the staff & talented students at Rugby High Secondary for their stunning production of High School Musical.
Thanks for the kind invitation. Due to unforeseen circumstances I wasn’t able to be there but my team were and said it was brilliant. I’ll come to the next show!

My colleague @racheltaylormp.bsky.social is right about this 👇🏻.
I will continue to speak out in defence of trans people as I did previously in Parliament.
This is about defending the rights of women and trans people.

1/ You wouldn’t know it from the coverage, but two recent employment tribunal rulings have vindicated those of us who have said from the start that the Supreme Court judgment did not require the automatic exclusion of trans people from single-sex toilets and changing rooms. 🧵

I met the Culture Secretary this week to discuss Rugby's young people. The new 10-year National Youth Strategy brings £500m investment, 250 youth centres and support for 500,000 more young people to access a trusted adult. I'm pushing for our constituency to benefit.

Well done Australia for showing governments can stand up to tech giants. Society’s interests - especially children’s - must come above profit. I’m for stronger regulation to protect what matters most.

Housing management companies raise fees above inflation with little oversight. I'm working with Labour for Leaseholders to tackle FirstPort's exploitative practices in Rugby and protect homeowners from overcharging. Contact my office with your story.

I've backed a single unitary authority for Warwickshire. The evidence is clear: a single authority would save £57m for frontline services, while splitting would worsen finances by £11m and leave Rugby significantly disadvantaged. Read my full letter: johnslingermp.substack.com/...
