I know that some of my older constituents might be feeling lonely this winter. That's why I want them to know that there's support available. Age UK has a handy guide on things to do to feel less lonely including clubs, activities & friendship services: bit.ly/3ZzgCDN

I am proud that Labour is standing up for renters after the Tories failed them. My amendments to the Renters' Reform Bill would help further strengthen protections for renters. Read my piece in The House magazine ⬇️

"for many renters unaffordable rent hikes are, and will remain, a de facto section 21 eviction." Paula Barker makes the case for her rent cap amendment in PoliticsHome. We'd urge all MPs to support this key change to the Bill. politicshome.com/thehouse/artic…

I am proud our Labour Government are standing up for renters where the Tories failed. Sadly ballooning rents in the private rented sector is still a barrier & can even lead to economic evictions. Which is why I’ve laid a rent stabilisation amendment to the Renters’ Reform Bill.

The Renters’ Rights Bill is a welcome piece of legislation that has been a long time coming. I am proud that our Labour government is stepping up where the Conservatives failed. I spoke to the Big Issue about my amendments to the Bill and why they are important 👇

Recognition for the RRC as well as members Shelter and Generation Rent from Paula Barker who is bringing key amendments to the bill including a cap on rent rises. As Paula says, as a country we must return to this in future - without action, affordability will only get worse.

Today I spoke with Minister Stephen Morgan MP about the opening of Kings Leadership Academy (King's Leadership Academy Wavertree). He has assured me he is committed to helping us get the school open to students as soon as possible.

I support the National Housing Federation’s (National Housing Federation) campaign for more social homes. With a spiralling homelessness and housing crisis, including 160,000 children currently in Temporary Accommodation, we need immediate and bold action. #PlanForHousing

I spoke in support of my friend, Sarah Owen MP’s, Private Members Bill on the use of fireworks. The use of fireworks out of sociable hours can be incredibly distressing for many, but especially for people who are neurodiverse 👇
