Suicide rates haven’t fallen in two decades, and thousands of lives are being lost each year.

I urged greater support for charities like The Jordan Legacy, whose work is vital in prevention.

The Govt must act now to give these charities the resources they need to reach more people & save lives.

Veterans dedicate their lives to protecting our country, yet often they’re left without the support they need.

The Armed Forces Covenant is meant to protect them - but it’s failing.

Words on paper mean nothing without action. The Govt must act now to ensure no veteran is left to struggle alone.

🔥 Incinerators – Landfill is disastrous, but burning waste isn’t the long-term answer. We must cut waste at the source, end single-use packaging, and boost recycling.

💧 Water Quality – It’s time for tougher regulation and stronger fines, and to stop bill payers footing the bill for water companies’ failures.

This weekend, I was on BBC Look North to discuss key issues, including:

🌟Great to highlight the incredible work of the Great Start in Life Foundation in Parliament.

👏They do vital work supporting the health and wellbeing of children and young people.

🚨 But the Government must step up too - and properly invest in public health services for young people.

Today, I challenged the govt to urgently add China to the toughest level of the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme.

With growing evidence of covert influence in our political system & institutions, this step is crucial to close loopholes & reinforce the UK’s defences, safeguarding our democracy.
