We need a #RealManosphere to counter toxic content from people like Andrew Tate. Being strong does not mean being mean. And I will keep defending trans people's right to live with dignity. Kindness, empathy and fairness must guide us.

Met with Transport Minister to make the case for Gibbet Hill roundabout funding and road safety action. With DIRFT and Magna Park expanding, we need this junction upgraded. I have written to the Roads Minister urging its inclusion in RIS3 funding.

Reform UK may think they own patriotism. They don't. Our Labour government has pride in Britain rooted in decency and renewal, not division. We are an incredible country and don't need Reform to tell us. True patriotism means investing in communities, not grievance politics.

As Shabana Mahmoud makes clear, Keir Starmer is “not going”. He’s getting on with his job, and ministers, the parliamentary Labour Party & the WHOLE Labour movement need to focus every second of being in government on delivering for our country

Proud to join the cross-party Parliamentarians for Peace vigil at Westminster this week. 77 years since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and its call for equality, freedom and justice matters more than ever.

Congratulations to all the staff & talented students at Rugby High Secondary for their stunning production of High School Musical.

I met the Culture Secretary this week to discuss Rugby's young people. The new 10-year National Youth Strategy brings £500m investment, 250 youth centres and support for 500,000 more young people to access a trusted adult. I'm pushing for our constituency to benefit.

Housing management companies raise fees above inflation with little oversight. I'm working with Labour for Leaseholders to tackle FirstPort's exploitative practices in Rugby and protect homeowners from overcharging. Contact my office with your story.

I've backed a single unitary authority for Warwickshire. The evidence is clear: a single authority would save £57m for frontline services, while splitting would worsen finances by £11m and leave Rugby significantly disadvantaged. Read my full letter: johnslingermp.substack.com/...

The Prime Minister, Chancellor, and Energy Secretary spent over two hours in Rugby today, going table to table at the Benn Partnership Center to hear directly from local residents about the Budget.
Great to see Rugby on The Times and the BBC News, and making national and international headlines.

In Men's Mental Health week, I joined the Back and Forth (@backandforthmmh) podcast. Key message: men and boys need to talk, not bottle up feelings. Small actions like a walk or run with someone can make a real difference. Listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/7h...

Joined colleagues in Parliament this week to support Ukraine's stolen children. Since 2022, thousands have been abducted by Russia. There can be no peace until every child is safely home. #BringKidsBack #ChildrenAreNonNegotiable

What a night for Scottish football. Scotland's men have qualified for the 2026 World Cup after beating Denmark 4-2. First time since 1998. Congratulations to the team and all my Scottish constituents on this historic achievement. Well done Scotland.

For 14 years Conservatives starved our local services of funding. I'm calling on our Labour Government to ensure Warwickshire gets the fair funding it needs for social care, highways, schools and children's services. Money should follow need wherever possible.

#DoYouAgree there should be as much coverage of good economic news as the bad? Gilt rates have fallen significantly after inflation dropped more than expected. Balance and accuracy matter. What do you think?

Met NHS leaders twice in two weeks to push for better healthcare in Rugby. Discussed doctor-led urgent care, neighbourhood health and Hospital of St Cross investment. Determined to deliver improvements including doctor-led urgent care. More soon.

Great to visit Rugby Distillery in Harborough Magna. Richard and Emma are brilliant examples of Rugby's entrepreneurial spirit (excuse the pun). The spirits sector is vital for our local economy. I'll continue championing local businesses.
