As Babyloss Awareness Week draws to a close this year with the annual Wave of Light, I want to send lots of love to everyone who has been affected by pregnancy and babyloss. It can be the loneliest place on the planet but you are never alone.

Whether you choose to mark Babyloss Awareness Week alone, or if it is too much this year, there is always help out there from the fantastic brilliant charities like Miscarriage UK & NI, Sands & Tommys. Whatever role I have, I’ll always support others to break the stigma of pregnancy loss & babyloss

The morning and afternoon in Holborn & St Pancras. 🌹 It was great to speak with so many people choosing hope with Labour today. An added bonus to knock on doors alongside the fantastic Jamie and fellow geriatric millenial @joshfg.bsky.social, apparently his t-shirt is a famous service station 🤷🏻‍♀️

Great parks make a world of difference to our green spaces, a place to have fun for all ages. It was great to drop in on Leagrave Park ahead of its opening and see it take shape. I've fought to get more money into parks, and this is the difference a Labour government makes 🛝🌹

This change in law matters to Luton North. It matters for the 1 in 4/5 pregnancies that end in loss. From April next year, women and their partners who experience a pregnancy loss before 24 weeks will be entitled to two weeks of bereavement leave.

As rail companies come back into public control, the Labour govt is getting rid of nonsensical rules that prevented passengers from using other train companies during disruption. This will make it easier for everyone to get around without having to pay for another ticket. Starting this weekend! 🚄

Ashcroft Play Park is open! 🛝 Thanks to hard work from local residents, we've secured a much-needed facelift to Ashcroft Park in Stopsley. A child said it was “the best play park” she’s been to. I think the double zip lines, the accessible trampoline and monkey bars were absolute hits!

As back to school preparations start, this is a Small Business Saturday staple for families. JS School & Sportswear on Neville Road stock every school uniform across Luton. From book bags to blazers, they have it all. It was lovely to see some eco friendly wear by supporting tree planting schemes.

This was a small business Saturday I made earlier (Friday) as it’s a lovely coffee shop but it’s only open Mon - Fri. Jo’s Coffee Shop & Sandwich Bar in Sundon Park is a hive of activity throughout the week and it does WEDGES of cookie pie!!! If you have a sweet tooth this is an absolute must.

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.

Great news! Well done Bev Craig and the team. Labour's support was well over double that of Reform in the first round of votes and was only just shy of winning on first preference alone. Bev is formidable and will be an excellent Labour Mayor of Greater Manchester 🌹

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.

People are galvanized by the politics and change that Andy Burnham offers, which is why turnout was so high in Makerfield. That can only be a good thing for politics, for our Party and our country.

Sarah Owen MP @sarahowen.org.uk · 19/06/2026

Andy Burnham’s striking result in Makerfield shows us that politics can’t carry on as usual. People want a different sort of representation, and they deserve it too. We now need a managed process to change our national leadership. Makerfield is just the start of how we reconnect with Labour values.

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. 💜
