Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley
In response to the #StalkingSuperComplaint findings, the @ukhomeoffice announced much needed measures to help victims of stalking (shorturl.at/2rNsD)❗️ We were happy to welcome @jessphillips to our office to see the work that we do.
We were delighted to host @jessphillips, Safeguarding Minister from the Home Office, at Missing People last week. Jess met with the team who deliver our vital helpline and family support services, as well as people with lived experience of being missing or having a loved one…
Please support the Mirrors Christmas appeal
‘Imagine you wake up on Christmas Day not knowing where one of your family is’ I spoke to @jessphillips about our Christmas Appeal for the amazing charity, Missing People 👇 mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
We had the honor of welcoming MP Jess Phillips to congratulate the newly elected class MPs. One of the first actions from their manifestos is to improve recycling within the school! Thank you to @JessPhillips and @UKParlEducation for supporting our #youngleaders of tomorrow!
I was incredibly proud to speak Bethany Rae Fields' name at Prime Minister’s questions today in Parliament. Bethany was murdered outside her workplace in 2019 by her ex-partner. Bethany approached the police multiple times before her murder and this brutal killing should never…
“I just want to do something about this” Queen Camilla’s words in a new @ITV documentary on her efforts to combat violence against women and girls.
The Home Office’s treatment of the Windrush generation shamed our country. We will make sure the voices of the Windrush community are heard and systemic changes are made. It is time for a fundamental re-set. It is time to right the wrongs of Windrush. My piece in the…
Once this trial is over, Gisele Pelicot should receive every honour in France and the International Women’s award. What she says about shame shouldn’t need saying but she’s used her darkest hours and a global spotlight to do so. She’s extraordinary. bbc.com/news/articles/…
Cracking on trying to make things work again. Pretty pleased along with @YvetteCooperMP and the Home Office team that we are just trying our best in difficult circumstances to just crack on. theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…
Margaret Thatcher famously encountered this sort of nonsense at her selection meetings…in the late 1950s.
NEW: Conservative MP Sir Christopher Chope says Kemi Badenoch is “preoccupied with her children” and “you can't spend all your time with your family at the same time as being leader of the opposition”. He was speaking on this month's @itvmeridian The Last Word. @itvnewspolitics
Christopher Chope is not a serious person. No one should be surprised by stupidity it's a regular occurrence. Luckily he's as influential as an empty space.
Kemi Badenoch has three children. Her youngest child is 5, her oldest is 11. Robert Jenrick has three children. His youngest child is 8, his oldest is 12. But obviously her situation is totally different from his and makes her too ditzy and distracted to be party leader 🤷♀️
Christopher Chope accuses critics of "mischief-making" and stands by what he said about Kemi Badenoch. He tells @TimesRadio: "I repeat the point which I was making before, and that is that Kemi has got a young family and so it's less likely that she's going to be able to spend…
I wrote about the new Cafcass guidance to better protect victims of domestic abuse. The new policy says domestic abuse should not be downplayed as “historical”, nor should a person’s reports of abuse be described as “claims” or “allegations”. Read more 👉 shorturl.at/Gw7lF
This woman deserves the Nobel peace prize. I will never not be bowled over by the courage she has shown, the resilience, the strength to use her pain to highlight the plight of so many other women.
My God, the courage.

No woman should ever face harassment or intimidation for going to a healthcare appointment. Nearly ten years ago in Opposition, I called on the Government to introduce buffer zones round abortion clinics. Now in Government we are acting. On 31 October, it will become the law.
📢 Protection zones around abortion clinics to be in force throughout the country to protect women from intimidation and harassment. From 31 October, attempts to influence the decisions of abortion service users or employees within a 150m radius of a clinic will become illegal.
After numerous false dawns, safe access zones finally becoming reality within next month. Ealing introduced first ever one and has led the way. Women up and down the country will now have same protections
"This is about the rights of vulnerable women seeking access to healthcare in safety, anonymity, and dignity" Labour's Rupa Huq is proposing a bill to ban demonstrations outside abortion clinics bbc.in/2Vc7yTV

We're delighted with today's announcement from @ukhomeoffice that safe access zones around abortion clinics will be brought into force next month. Our staff and patients deserve the protection of the law. Nobody deserves to be harassed when accessing medical care. #BackOff
