It was lovely to join Show Racism the Red Card in Parliament to celebrate their exhibition about Arsenals first 11 black players.
As we see hateful rhetoric rise, we must combat it by standing together as a community in Milton Keynes and a nation.

This week I met with Safe Families and Home for Good in Parliament!
An incredible charity who are working hard to support families feeling isolated and overwhelmed as well as ensuring that when children enter care that they are met with a safe and stable home.

MPs interact with vulnerable constituents every day, including survivors of domestic abuse, children and people in crisis. While NHS staff, carers, and social workers all have DBS checks, MPs are not subject to the same safeguarding threshold.
That needs to change.

Criminals are not barred from becoming MPs - but that's set to change
While professionals must pass strict safeguarding checks, candidates for Parliament can stand even if they have a criminal record or appear on sex offender lists

A huge thank you to Wavendon Gate School for having me be part of their student debate!
It was great to speak to pupils about the importance of debate skills and how they can get better at debating, we certainly have a future generation of politicians in Milton Keynes.

Very pleased that the government has announced reforms to the law on so called ‘bad character evidence’ being used against victims of rape.
It’s the biggest change to rape law in over a decade.

Milton Keynes marked White Ribbon Day last night with the yearly vigil at the MK Rose. An emotive event of reflection, to think about the women and girls who have been lost to gendered violence, and how we can make our city safe to ensure that women and girls feel safe, heard and supported.

So glad that our Parliament will become the first national parliament in the world to become White Ribbon accredited.
We couldn’t do it without the amazing example that Milton Keynes has set to the nation as the first White Ribbon City in the country. Very proud 🤍

Last night Milton Keynes truly marked White Ribbon Day in style with the incredible Craftivism Exhibition in Middleton Hall that showcased the work of local activists, artists and organisations.
I was honoured to contribute my pottery piece “Survivor” to this exhibition.

A compelling argument that connects UK's commitment to foreign aid, a value-led foreign policy, & country's soft power capacity (& no discussion of culture or need for a 'soft power council'). Thank you, @emily4mk.bsky.social & @gareththomasmp.bsky.social www.independent.co.uk/voices/budge...
Yes, we must invest in defence – but not at the expense of our soft power
The government must not row back on its commitment to foreign aid in the budget next week - it’s a vital investment in a safer, stable and more prosperous world argue former ministers Emily Darlington...

This week in Parliament, I attended the annual Sainsburys Parliamentary drop-In!
As we approach the festive season, Sainsburys play a vital role in making Christmas magical for so many families – I want to say a huge thank you to Sainsbury’s colleagues, farmers, suppliers and charity partners.

SEND provision is a matter that many residents have reached out to me about, and is one that I know is close to the heart of many parents and carers.
Last week, it was great to hold a SEND Forum alongside PACA MK.

Ukraine’s mission to bring every abducted child home is about more than return - it’s about healing, safety, and hope. On World Children’s Day, I am supporting the Bring KidsBack UA initiative - a call to rebuild young lives shattered by war.
