UK to fight Russian disinformation and push new global AI standards, Burnham says

The UK could act as "an honest broker" on AI and other global challenges, the prime minister tells world leaders at the UN.

Peter Swallow MP @peter4bracknell.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Russia is seeking undermine our democracy, weaken support for Ukraine, and attack our community cohesion I raised their mis- and disinformation campaign with the Defence Secretary earlier this month

Peter Swallow MP @peter4bracknell.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

The UK can be a world leader in AI safety As the Prime Minister will set out at the UN today, we also need to work with allies to agree shared values Here's how we enjoy the benefits of AI while lowering the risks: www.bracknellnews.co.uk/sport/265494...

I know how much constituents value the NHS, but can sometimes find accessing vital services difficult. Our 10 year plan for the NHS will see more care delivered in the community, including by GPs, so it's important people can access these services as easily as possible

The Government will legislate to protect children from nude images on their phones I know from my discussions with parents and young people across Bracknell Forest that we have a long way to go in making the online world safe for children but these measures are a huge step in the right direction

Social housing associations shouldn't sell off the homes Bracknell Forest families badly need I'm campaigning for us to change the law to protect more of our valuable social housing stock - and yesterday, I raised it directly with the Prime Minister

055

Peter Swallow MP @peter4bracknell.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Lovely to join Bracknell Town Council's Environment Warden, Ellie McIntosh, for a tour of all the wonderful nature around Mill Park last week 🦢

Peter Swallow MP @peter4bracknell.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

I'm pleased that the Government has already built an additional 3,200 prison places since the election, with 14,000 expected by 2031 under the largest prison expansion since the Victorian era (7/7)

020

Peter Swallow MP @peter4bracknell.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

The Conservatives added only 500 net places to our prison system in over a decade.   We need to reform the criminal justice system and cut down on reoffending, but ultimately, we also need to deliver many more prison places (6/7)

130

Peter Swallow MP @peter4bracknell.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

To be blunt, this scheme is still deeply challenging. I very much wish we were in a fundamentally different place. But the reality is that we do not have enough prison places in this country - when this Govt was first elected in 2024, there were fewer than 100 places left (5/7)

210

Peter Swallow MP @peter4bracknell.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

And the Government has committed to ending the injustice of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentences by the end of this Parliament (4/7)

110

Peter Swallow MP @peter4bracknell.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Offences including manslaughter, death by drink or dangerous driving, historic child sex offences including grooming, and rape have all now been exempted from the scheme. It is also right that some foreign criminals will now be deported immediately after sentencing (3/7)

100

Peter Swallow MP @peter4bracknell.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Earlier this month, I joined a cross-party group of MPs from across the Thames Valley region in writing to the Chief Constable Jason Hogg offering him my full support and making clear that I wanted Government to do everything in their power to exempt PC Harper's killers (2/7)

100

Peter Swallow MP @peter4bracknell.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

I welcome the changes the Prime Minister has announced today - which will mean that the killers of PC Andrew Harper are not eligible for early release. I want to play tribute to PC Harper's family and to the whole Thames Valley Police force (1/7)

Peter Swallow MP @peter4bracknell.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Great to sit down with Inspector Neil Misselbrook last week and share residents' concerns about antisocial behaviour, drugs, illegal e-scooters and e-bikes, and speeding Remember you can see and contact your neighbourhood policing team here: www.thamesvalley.police.uk/area/your-ar...
