Graduates deserve a system that is fair, transparent and keeps its promises.

Too many graduates are paying more and for longer because student loan repayment thresholds have failed to keep pace with earnings. That's why I was proud to support Tom Gordon MP’s cross-party Student Finance (Review) Bill, which has now progressed to its next stage in Parliament.

I’m pleased to see Andy Burnham echo the call for G20 leadership on AI. I first set out the case for this in my Artificial Superintelligence Bill on 8 September, and the Joint Committee on Human Rights has also highlighted the need for international coordination in its report on AI and human rights.

Yorkshire Water released untreated sewage into waterways for over 285,000 hours across nearly 51,000 spills in 2025. I raised this in Parliament because it's clear the privatised water model is failing. Yorkshire deserves clean rivers, not pollution. 🌊💧

A wide-ranging Artificial Intelligence Bill is needed to address severe human rights risks posed by AI. The Joint Committee on Human Rights has published a report on human rights and the regulation of AI. Find out more: publications.parliament.uk/pa/jt590…

Wide-ranging AI Bill and independent regulator needed to address severe human rights risks posed by AI

You cannot mount redress to an AI-related harm if you do not know that AI has been used in the first place.” Ellen Lefley, Senior Lawyer, JUSTICE.

Insufficient transparency concerning how AI systems are used in decision making, and a lack of effective mechanisms to challenge those decisions, threatens the rights of people in the UK.

Fundamentally, this is about making sure that you, as an individual, know how AI is being used in the decisions that affect you.” Alex Sobel MP, Chair

We recommend that when AI systems can have a significant impact on people, there should be an obligation to state how these systems are being used.

AI can benefit society, but superintelligent AI is a different challenge altogether. My Bill would prohibit its development in the UK to protect our national security and democratic institutions.

Alex Sobel MP @alexsobel.co.uk · 14/09/2026

I've written to the PM, alongside 70+ MPs and peers, calling for action to stop the development of superintelligent AI. My Bill would prohibit its development in the UK before it's too late www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/sep/11/mps-urge-andy-burnham-block-artificial-superintelligence-asi

To everyone in our community celebrating Rosh Hashanah, I wish you a happy and healthy New Year. May it be a year of peace, hope, and happiness for you and your family. Shanah Tovah. ✨

AI is vital to Britain's economic future. But superintelligent AI is different: it would threaten the lives of everyone on earth. That’s why my bill prohibits superintelligence development while safeguarding the UK’s AI ambitions The race to superintelligence cannot continue

252

The day I introduced this bill Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic, warning AI companies are racing to superintelligence that “could kill us all within the decade”. The government must take action to secure an international agreement banning superintelligent AI.

250

With 71 colleagues I am calling on the Govt to work with us on my bill to prohibit the development of superintelligent AI and champion an international agreement We can then lead on preventing the extinction risk posed by superintelligence while preserving strategic AI ambition

As Co-Chair of the APPG on Global Deforestation, I’ll continue pushing for strong, rights-based protections for forests and the communities that depend on them. The UK must deliver on its commitment to help end global deforestation by 2030.

Good news for forests from Parliament. The Government has signalled investment in the Tropical Forest Forever Facility and reaffirmed its commitment to legislating to end the UK’s consumption of forest risk commodities.

Lord Alton showed exemplary leadership on a number of vital human rights issues including transnational repression, modern slavery and the rights of children, and it is an honour to carry on his work. I look forward to working with my colleagues on the committee in carrying out this scrutiny.

It is a privilege to have been elected as Chair of the Joint Committee on Human Rights. This committee performs a crucial role in ensuring each bill that goes through Parliament respects human rights. We also carry out focussed inquiries on a diverse range of issues that impact us all.

That's why I've introduced the Artificial Superintelligence Security Bill with @controlai.com: to prevent the development of superintelligent AI in the UK and push for international action to stop it globally.

Alex Sobel MP @alexsobel.co.uk · 09/09/2026

AI can bring enormous benefits. But superintelligent AI is different. Leading experts warn that systems more intelligent than humans could threaten national security and even pose an existential risk.

Yesterday’s announcement banning trade with illegal Israeli settlements is a significant & welcome step forward, and one I have long advocated for. Yet there is much more to do. We must continue to champion the rights of the Palestinian people and work towards a lasting resolution to this conflict.

0254

These are important steps towards justice and a lasting peace for both Palestinians and Israelis.

090

At a time when we are witnessing unprecedented violence in the West Bank, including settler terrorism and the forced displacement of Palestinian communities, it is vital that there is accountability for these grave abuses.

290

This was a strong and overdue condemnation of Israel’s actions, and a clear affirmation that the UK must uphold international law consistently.

150

I welcome today’s announcement that trade with illegal Israeli settlements will be banned, something I have long campaigned for. I also welcome the Foreign Secretary’s statement in Parliament recognising that Israel’s occupation is illegal under international law.

🚨A system that allows one party to take full power on a small fraction of the vote is also one that's easier to manipulate. The consequences could be incredibly dangerous. 💬 @alexsobel.co.uk on why reforming the voting system and curbing the influence of big money go hand in hand:

The Government must reject Rosebank and commit instead to a fair transition that puts workers and communities at the heart of a cleaner, greener economy. 🌍🌱 #StopRosebank #ClimateAction #CleanEnergy

181

The claims that Rosebank will improve energy security or protect jobs simply do not stand up to scrutiny. Most of the oil would be sold on international markets, while the real opportunity lies in investing in renewable energy and creating secure, skilled jobs for the future.

150

Last month, I joined a cross-party group of MPs calling on the Prime Minister to reject the Rosebank oil field. Approving Rosebank would be a grave mistake. It would undermine the UK's climate commitments, and lock us into further fossil fuel dependence when we should be focusing on clean energy.

Ending rough sleeping means more than providing a bed for the night. With the right housing, health and addiction support, we can help people rebuild their lives and move forward with dignity.

Part of this funding will support the incredible charities and outreach organisations already working tirelessly, engaging with people on our streets every day.

🏠 Everyone deserves a safe place to call home. That’s why I welcome Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s commitment, backed by £442 million, to help every rough sleeper off the streets this winter.
