The rhetoric, actions and agenda of Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir towards Palestinians is dangerous and extremist. Today the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Norway are taking action ⬇️ gov.uk/government/new…

Since I was elected I’ve been pushing all levels of government for redevelopment funding for Kirkcaldy town centre. From the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the Secretary of State for Scotland and many others - on Monday I raised it again in the House of Commons.

I'm delighted that today the Chancellor Rachel Reeves prioritised Kirkcaldy for funding from the new £240 million Growth Mission Fund. This crucial investment from our UK Labour Government will be the first step towards renewing and regenerating our town centre and seafront.

The UK Labour government is investing in renewal with an extra £9.1 billion for the Scottish Government over the next three years. Next May people will be asking themselves do they really trust the SNP to spend that money?

Labour has ended Tory austerity and delivered record funding for Scotland - but SNP mismanagement will continue to hold us back. It’s time for a new direction in Scotland. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…

Powerful piece by Polly Billington MP. “if this Bill does pass, the vulnerable, the old, the marginalised, the disabled and many more voiceless groups will lose the dignity, choice and autonomy over how their lives end.” politicshome.com/opinion/articl…

I’ve written for LabourList on why despite my support for assisted dying in principle I can’t support this bill labourlist.org/2025/06/assist…

My speech on the #AssistedDyingBill. My amendment seeks to protect the founding purpose of our NHS - ensuring no government can rewrite it behind closed doors. We cannot allow the Assisted Dying Bill to be the trojan horse that breaks our NHS.

Today in Parliament I spoke against the #AssistedDyingBill. This is a deeply flawed Bill, and the truth is that in seeking to give choice to some, it risks causing new harm to a much larger, vulnerable group of our citizens.

We miss Jo in the House of Commons, in the Labour Party and as a friend. She would have had so much to say about the state of the world and how we work bring about progress ❤️
