It was a pleasure to speak at the Mainstream Rally. Mainstream Labour stands for pluralism and an openness to different voices within the Labour movement which is essential if we are to escape from the factionalism of the past decade.

Incredibly sad news that Dame Esther Rantzen has passed away. A tireless campaigner & advocate for Assisted Dying. A very emotive issue with strongly held beliefs on both sides. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends at this very sad time. Photo credit: The Guardian

It was a privilege to speak at the POA fringe this week. Prison Officers face challenges every day that few outside the profession can understand.

Under the opt-out system, families are still asked to support organ donation. When families know what their loved one wanted, most say yes. When they do not, support drops significantly. register.organdonation.nhs.uk/start/

Great to meet participants of degree apprenticeships at Hope University last week. Students were engaging & clear about the difference a degree apprenticeship was making to their lives including financial considerations & learning styles. I will be discussing key issues with the Minister.

It was great to catch up with the Minister for Courts and Legal Services today. Minister Sackman visited Liverpool Magistrates & Crown Courts & met with members of the Merseyside Criminal Justice Board, to further understand how partner organisations deal with cross-CJS issues on a regional level.

Paula Barker MP @paulabarkermp.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Alongside colleagues I’ve signed letters to the Secretary of State, and the Chief Executive of Ofcom regarding the failures of Royal Mail. We’ve had several complaints from constituents about missing appointments and receiving fines due to letters arriving too late. And this problem is countrywide.

Really pleased to say that the graffiti on the Cullen Street area has now been removed! It is something that residents have quite rightly requested for a long time.

Paula Barker MP @paulabarkermp.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I welcome the strong stance taken today by the Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister. The acts of violence perpetrated by the settlers in the West Bank must be called out for what they are, settler terrorism.

The failings of the water sector are now well documented and public confidence has been severely eroded. Which is why I support cleaner, fairer, cheaper water in public ownership 👇

Sepsis claims five lives an hour in the UK. It can affect anyone at any time, but fast action can save lives. This Sepsis Awareness Month, I’m joining the UK Sepsis Trust to share the message: trust your instincts.

From the 1st of September, councils will have to tell schools, GPs and health visiting teams when a child is placed in temporary accommodation. This new statutory duty is an important step towards better support and outcomes for families and children experiencing homelessness.

Incredibly sad to hear of the passing of Dolly Parton. A gifted singer & actress. Additionally the Dolly Parton Imagination Library gifted over 7 million books to children in the UK since its launch in 2008 (and over 332 million books worldwide since 1995). May she rest in peace.
