On World AIDS Day, I welcome the government’s HIV Action Plan to tackle stigma and end new transmissions in England by 2030.
We should ensure this promise is delivered by reaching the most marginalised communities.
We must also boost international funding to maintain global progress against AIDS.

I visited a clinic in Nottingham that provides respiratory care for homeless people, run by @nottmhospitals.bsky.social, alongside Framework Charity, @nottinghamcitycare.bsky.social, and Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.

Muslims in the UK continue to face hate crimes, fuelled by Islamophobic and anti-migrant rhetoric from far-right politicians and the media.
This Islamophobia Awareness Month, we stand in solidarity with our Muslim friends and neighbours. We must always challenge the normalisation of such hatred.

The Tories cut 70% of youth services funding in less than a decade.
Now, many young people have retreated online, which is impacting their mental health and puts them at risk of radicalisation.
A wealth tax can help fund mass investment in the youth services we desperately need.

Nottinghamshire MPs have written to @uniofnottingham.bsky.social, urging the university to reconsider proposed course suspensions and potential closures, which would significantly impact staff, students, and our wider city and county.

This is a dark and dangerous path.
The government has said it won’t be rushed, and I sincerely hope this means that Ministers will reject any EHRC guidance that further harms trans people.
Parliament should instead make clear in legislation that “single-sex spaces” are to be trans-inclusive.

This is who the government is trying to copy with its anti-refugee policies.

The government claims it wants to stop small boats crossing the Channel, yet its new policies will make it harder for refugees to bring their spouses and children safely. This will push more women and children onto dangerous dinghies.
I asked the Home Secretary if this is really what she supports.

The government should be ashamed that its migration policies are being cheered on by Tommy Robinson and Reform.
Instead of standing up to anti-migrant hate, this is laying the foundations for the far-right.
I questioned the Home Secretary on how she can be proposing such obviously cruel policies.

So the solution is… to join in?
I'm afraid the “dark forces” are calling from inside the house at this point.

This morning, Uniting Nottz brought together community organisations and people with lived experience to set out the systemic, structural change and investment needed to tackle knife crime.
Proud to be a small part of this and to present their demands to the government.

It was great to visit Boatyard Boulders, a "real rock" bouldering centre in Nottingham.
I'm pleased that it's expanding its facilities to include a youth club and increase its offerings to local schools.

Since 2023, Sudan’s civil war has claimed more than 150,000 lives and displaced up to 14 million people.
I have written to the government urging it to stop arms sales to the UAE, take stronger action to prevent atrocities, and rapidly scale up humanitarian aid.

Scapegoating migrants just lets billionaires off the hook.
Instead of pursuing ever-harsher stances on refugees and migration, we should tax the real culprits driving inequality and exploitation.

It was a privilege to lay a wreath at the Nottingham War Memorial today, in memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice to defeat fascism, and lives lost in all wars.
Let us honour them by striving towards a world in which everybody has the right to freedom and sovereignty.

A joy to visit Dako Flying Angels at Oliver Hind Youth Club in Sneinton last night, a volunteer-run gymnastics club for boys aged 8-18.
Giving young people spaces to socialise and learn from positive male role models is transformative; it improves education and health outcomes, and reduces crime.

We keep hearing about “difficult choices” to justify spending cuts.
Real difficult choices are between heating and eating, paying your rent or your bills.
The government can make another choice, and it’s not difficult: tax the super-rich.

She will fight tooth and nail for members, industrially and politically.
Andrea’s pledge to take only the wage of a social worker means her pay will only rise when yours does.

Israeli forces are still killing Palestinians in Gaza — many of whom are trying to return home near a line behind which Israeli troops have retreated. Israeli media is increasingly calling this line the “new border”.
I asked the government how it will ensure that Israel does not seize half of Gaza:

The housing crisis started with Thatcher and it should end with this Labour government.
Launch a mass social housing programme, scrap Right to Buy, and introduce rent controls.
A secure home is a human right and the essential foundation for a decent life.

Mandatory digital ID undermines our civil rights. It’s also divisive, expensive, and a distraction from the real issues: a cost of living crisis and soaring inequality.
So why is the government steamrolling ahead? Has it learnt nothing from winter fuel and disability benefit cuts?
