The US is being completely marginalised by Canada and the EU. The UK must work to be a part of this.

What do we think of the Luton Lib Dems and independents doing some grubby deal to back Reform in our town hall? Luton always chooses love over hate. Only Labour in Luton is here to stop Reform. 🌹

Rupert Lowe, leader of Restore reckons you’re only white British if both of your parents were born in Britain? I listened to the interview and It’s quite clear what his agenda is? It is to stir up as much racial hatred as he can. He is an extremist, a white nationalist.

Are you as fed up as I am by the constant fireworks at night in Luton North at the moment? Then make sure to fill in the fireworks consultation that the government is running - which is looking to change the law so we finally get stronger restrictions on fireworks sales.

Following the new Prime Minister’s appointments, I am joining the Northern Ireland Office as a Minister. This means that I will be leaving the position of Chair of the Women and Equalities Select Committee. I have loved every minute of it and am proud of what we have achieved together. 👇
Statement: 

Following the new Prime Minister’s appointments, I am joining the Northern Ireland Office as a Minister. This means that I will be leaving the position of Chair of the Women and Equalities Select Committee. I have loved every minute of it and am proud of what we have achieved together.

We made changes happen. I was so proud to finally see bereavement leave extended for women and their partners who experience miscarriage, after a long campaign and far too much suffering from all of us who know this pain.

I wanted to tackle difficult topics well, find common ground, and scrutinise effectively to ensure equalities law works for everybody. In nearly two years leading the Committee, that is what we have achieved together. This doesn’t mean everyone agreeing but disagreeing well and compromising - putting aside ego to see progress - because progress isn’t inevitable.

Our work helped bring about important changes in non-disclosure agreements, FGM and the abuse of non-consensual intimate images

We launched landmark reports covering medical misogyny, the music and comedy industries, gendered Islamophobia, Black homelessness, the d/Deaf community, the rights of older people, community cohesion and many more. During evidence sessions with equalities ministers and the EHRC, we held them to account. We highlighted concerns raised to us from across the country on equality law, to ensure legislation is effective and works as intended.

Thank you to all committee members, Phil and the team of hard working, knowledgeable Clerks who are at the heart of the work we do, and the many witnesses who gave evidence to our inquiries. 

I look forward to seeing what this brilliant committee does next and I know the new chair will love this amazing work and team.

🎇 BIG news - the government will look to ban the loudest fireworks from sale! This comes after I have campaigned for years alongside so many amazing people. I will be following the consultation closely and continuing to make the case for change.
Graphic that says: Breaking news: Government looks to ban loud fireworks: After a long running campaign by Luton North MP for Sarah Owen, the Government has announced it will conduct a review looking to ban the loudest fireworks from public sale: after two Private Members Bills, hundreds of meetings and letters, and putting pressure on the government.

So, a joke MP with 5 houses bought for cash, links to criminality and a £5Mill ‘gift’ in his bank… is so enraged at being held to account… that he resigns from the MP role he never did anyway…and demands a “people v the establishment” by-election to vote him back in. What an insufferable wanker.

Burnham says he’s not going to do ‘foreign affairs’ stuff so much. I think this shows how much he doesn’t understand what’s going to in the world right now? International issues come for you and there’s nothing you can do about it?

🧵For the many people who have been subjected to horrific practices of abuse, just because of who they are or who they love, this will be a bittersweet day. Bitter because despite cross party working, it is long overdue - but sweet because there is finally light at the end of the tunnel. 1/3

How conventient for political journalists, to all be gathered in Downing Street once more, so they can interview each other, to ask "how did this happen?", without ever acknowledging that, at least in part, they themselves are how this happened.

Reform stamping their little authoritarian feet demanding a general election is farcical. They’re either unelected themselves or they’ve become a recycling bin for Tory MPs who thought they’d do better with a turquoise rosette, but refused to give their constituents the same choice. Sod off.

Bereaved families like Amani’s are desperately trying to raise funds for brain cancer research so that more people don’t have to go through what they have. A brain tumour diagnosis should not be a life sentence. We have £40m of funding committed to brain cancer treatment - we must use it. 💜
