Member of Parliament for Calder Valley, Health and Social Care Select Committee Member, mediocre fell runner - never knowingly on message.
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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Today the government announced northern powerhouse rail, the biggest investment for generations in northern infrastructure. I used the announcement to push for the electrification of the Calder Valley line something the Conservatives promised in 2015 before cancelling it.

Have started training for the London Marathon this week. While trying to add 50m at the end of my run to make it 16k yesterday I ran onto some cobbles and absolutely stacked it on what turned out to be sheet ice. I love running but there is no joy on days like that.

Before Christmas I had health secretary @wesstreeting.bsky.social in front of the health and social care select committee where we discussed palliative care. This answer on the safety of the Terminally ill adults end of life bill was revealing and confirms many of the concerns I still have.

She’s right. She *deliberately* hacked into Harriet Harman’s website, whereas Rachel Reeves is accused of obtaining a license late by accident. I assume that’s what she means, given Badenoch is widely known for her thoughtfulness and her self-awareness.
Badenoch says hacking into Harriet Harman's website 17 years ago 'not the same' as Reeves breaking law

Kemi Badenoch has said hacking into Harriet Harman's website when she was younger is "not the same" as Rachel Reeves failing to get a £900 rental licence for her home.

To ask questions in parliament MPs submit written questions to a ballot,
or stand up & sit down (bob) on a question asked by someone else. The written question is like a starter so ministers knows the subject. My success ratio in the ballot is 8 for 169. Totally logical system🙄
