It’s disgraceful that private water companies are making record profits at the expense of bill payers - all while openly dumping horrifying levels of human waste into our rivers. It's time to start putting people before shareholder profit again.

Right now, our priority must be to improve palliative care - not passing assisted dying. When 170,000 people die in the UK each year without access to end-of-life care, I do not believe we are offering patients a real choice until palliative care is properly funded.

When facing unimaginable pain, it is heartbreaking that a lack of cooperation within the NHS should add to that suffering. This week, I shared Ellerie and Roger's stories with the government and urged the minister to work toward a future where everyone can experience seamless health and care.

Very welcome news on ending the IPP injustice. After almost two decades of battling the prison system in some cases, I hope families across the country can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. I thank the new Prime Minister for taking a decisive and positive step towards justice

The River Aire and the Wharfe don't belong to Yorkshire Water - they belong to us. It is an outrage that YW continues to pollute our rivers, all while hiking bills for consumers. The only way to fix this crisis is to make it easier for failing water companies to be brought into public control.

Anna Dixon MP for Shipley @annadixonmp.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

I am angered by Yorkshire Water’s continued deteriorating performance. The state of our local rivers is deeply concerning, and I am urging the EA to act urgently. I will keep standing up to YW and making the case for bringing failing water companies into public control for as long as it takes.

13 serious pollution incidents last year, the same number as the previous year, show Yorkshire Water has learned nothing and changed nothing. If a company cannot show sustained improvement, the public should not be trapped indefinitely as customers of an operator that fails them at every turn.

Reform’s plan to dismantle Bradford’s CAZ clearly puts ideology over the public health of our children. I urge the Council leadership not to recklessly gamble with the quality of the air we breathe and the health of our kids' lungs.

I strongly support today’s announcement of a social media ban for under-16s. Just as tobacco is regulated to protect young people, social media platforms must face meaningful accountability. I hope this moment can serve as a catalyst to rethink our relationship with social media more broadly.

Reform’s plan to effectively scrap Bradford’s Clean Air Zone is premature and reckless. Evidence shows the CAZ has improved air quality and cut GP appointments for breathing issues by 600 per month. Scrapping it now would be a public health mistake our children's generation will pay for.

Anna Dixon MP for Shipley @annadixonmp.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

I have called on the government to recognise the impact social media is having on our young people as a public health emergency. We need urgent action to protect our kids online, and to tackle the addictive algorithms the big tech companies use to exploit people of all ages.

77% of people in Bradford rejected the party that now leads our council. Reform spreads divisiveness by telling people that Britain is broken while having no idea or plan for how to fix it. Our city deserves better, and I will be hard at work in the coming months to hold them to account.

We CANNOT let private water companies profit from polluting our rivers. I welcome the Clean Water Bill, which will take forward much of the reform the sector needs. But I am concerned that, without addressing the sector's financial failings, we will only be perpetuating a broken system.

Clean rivers, fair bills and a water system run in the public interest should not be too much to ask for. It’s time for the government to be radical and build a model with fairness, accountability, and environmental protection at its core. It’s time to take back control of our water.

If we want to rebuild trust with voters, we need an electoral system that reflects the reality of UK politics in 2026. Last week’s election results sent a clear message - and I absolutely accept that. But they also made it clearer than ever that first-past-the-post is no longer fit for purpose.
