People. Powered. Politics. That’s where real change begins.

From Leicester to Westminster, the message has been clear: our data should NEVER be for sale. And now, Leicestershire Police is finally pulling the plug on Palantir. This is a seismic blow to Palantir’s ambitions. But not the end. We must break its grip on all public services.

Cancer can change a childhood in an instant. Around 2000 children are diagnosed in the UK every year. That's more than 5 every day. I'm calling on the Government to go further: invest in research, improve early diagnosis and expand access to the best possible treatments for all.

They said we won't make a difference. But make no mistake: your voices were heard. Every time I spoke in Parliament, I carried your anger, frustration and solidarity. This isn’t the end. I’ll scrutinise how these sanctions are applied and push for charges for war crimes.

We welcomed Miliband's statement in the chamber today. Although it is too late for over 70,000 Palestinians, it is still not too late for justice for their ethnic cleansing, war crimes and genocide.

Mohan Bhagwat is now in the UK. If a record of rhetoric targeting religious minorities doesn’t cross the Government’s red line, what exactly does? I’ve written to the Home Secretary because we must ensure Britain never becomes a megaphone for hatred, division or fear.

What an incredible Made A Difference Awards! A huge congrats to all the nominees and our incredible winners. So many inspiring stories in one room with quiet acts of kindness, extraordinary dedication and people going above and beyond for others. That’s what community is all about.

Robert Jenrick is deflecting and distracting while Reform is knee-deep in financial scandal. Is it “patriotic” to pocket MILLIONS linked to foreign money to bankroll political power for the super-rich?

Nigel’s first week back in Parliament is off to a great start. Reportedly: £30k of party-linked polling, foreign money, trying to disguise a £500k funding source, and Farage filmed celebrating it all. The party of “law and order” might want to revisit the definition of “law”.

“Labour got Gaza wrong.” Those were Burnham’s words. Yet just weeks into his premiership, at least 10 military flights have left British bases for Israel. If Britain has nothing to hide, then there is one simple thing to do: explain. What is being provided to Israel? And why?

249 articles in just 22 days. More than two weeks after Professor Jason Arday’s tragic death, I’ve joined cross-party colleagues in asking IPSO to investigate the media coverage he faced. We owe it to Jason’s family to seek answers.

There are few words more devastating for a young person to hear than: “You have cancer.” On those journeys, Teenage Cancer Trust provides life changing care. But their vital services shouldn't depend on charitable donations alone. The Gov't must provide sustainable funding.

ANOTHER playground closure. How many more spaces will be forgotten before the council finally listens to local families? I’ve raised this at the highest level and I’ll keep pushing for answers, accountability and action.

St Matthew's Parks Day is always one of the highlights of the summer! Brilliant celebration of everything that makes our community so special. Thank you to all the organisers and to everyone who came along.

Every 4 years the world speaks the same language: football. The World Cup is one of humanity’s greatest unifier. That spirit must never be triumphed by corporate greed. Proud to be part of parliamentary groups championing football, where I will continue pushing for fans to be put first. Always.

Islamophobia is real. And its deadly. One mosque is attacked every 5 days in the UK. When will the government finally act? I will continue to hold them to account.

This is not the time for political choreography. Wish-washy statements do not save lives. Britain must act: End arms sales. End military cooperation. Impose widespread sanctions. Uphold international law. And call it what it is: Genocide.

Our youth are 20% of our present, but 100% of our future. That’s why I’m inviting young people across our city to come along to Leicester's Youth Forum. Looking forward to turning conversations into action next week! RSVP here: forms.gle/8jFPmfNwUR6d...

Democracy is built on one simple principle: those who seek power must answer to the people.

The public and Parliament have every right to demand answers over Farage’s web of dark money and murky gifts from billionaires. 

Yet instead of facing scrutiny, we get more calculated games and political theater.

Is this really the future of British politics we deserve?

Shockat Adam MP @shockatadam.bsky.social · 05/07/2026
I may be one voice in Parliament. But every time I rise to speak, I carry the voices of thousands across Leicester with me. That is the greatest privilege of serving as your MP.

Schools and families are left picking up the pieces of a failing system. This was a £180 million Government contract that has delivered too many delays. Pupils will now receive results in the summer holidays, without school support when it’s needed most. I’m pressing for answers in Parliament.

Shockat Adam MP @shockatadam.bsky.social · 02/07/2026
Wonderful to spend time with the families involved in the Family Voices programme, making a huge difference by connecting parents with vital support services. I’ll continue to champion families in Parliament, fighting for the support they deserve.

Level of violence against our rail workers is unacceptable. My constituents work tirelessly to keep passengers safe at Leicester station but are pleading for more support. I raised this vital issue with the minister who has promised his support.

Shockat Adam MP @shockatadam.bsky.social · 30/06/2026
Now is the time to turn words into action. I welcome continued investment in Leicester's services, including the future vision for a new Women's and Children's Hospital at the Leicester Royal Infirmary, and I'll continue working to help deliver safer, more compassionate maternity care in Leicester.

Shockat Adam MP @shockatadam.bsky.social · 29/06/2026
The Gaza genocide isn't a distant headline. There's a weapons factory right here in Leicester: Elbit Systems. Why are Ministers meeting arms manufacturers behind closed doors, while the public is left in the dark? I've put the questions on the record. The Government now owes serious answers.

Shockat Adam MP @shockatadam.bsky.social · 28/06/2026
1.15 MILLION people aged 60+ waited more than 12 hours in A&E last year. This is a national disgrace. I'm backing @AgeUKs demands to restore diginity, safety and urgency to emergency care. I'll keep raising this in Parliament because this level of neglect should never be normalised.

Wonderful to bring volunteers and groups from across Leicester’s parks and green spaces together for a roundtable discussion. Looking forward to turning these conversations into action.

Leicester South is proudly home to the oldest karate club in the UK! For 60 years, Leicester Karate Club has built champions, confidence and community. An honour to join their celebrations and table a motion in Parliament recognising this incredible milestone and the people who made it possible.

Starmer's legacy will not be one of change, but of broken promises.
I do not take pleasure in anyone losing their job, but the public is fed up with Downing Street's revolving door of failure.

Starmer had no tears for the children of Gaza being used as target practice by Israel, but gets emotional over losing his political power.

His legacy will not be one of change, but of broken promises.

He dragged his feet while child poverty soared. Aided and bankrolled Israel's genocidal machine. Punished pensioners, disabled people and migrants. Regurgitated Enoch Powell's Island of Strangers rhetoric. Threw friends and allies under the bus to extend his own political shelf life amidst the Mandelson saga.

Labour, like the Conservatives, are playing musical chairs with their leaders while our country needs stability.

We need a politics that puts people before party machines and career politicians.

Until then, it's just another episode of Westminster's longest-running soap opera, whilst ordinary people pay the price.

What started as an ordinary day in the park became a memory I was made to never forget. They carried hate. We carried hope, strength and each other. And in the end, hate never wins.

One of my favourite parts of the job is meeting the next generation of changemakers! It was wonderful to visit Rolleston Primary School and meet students buzzing with questions and great ideas. We must ensure young voices continue to shape the decisions that affect their future.

It's happening again: the Gazafication of Lebanon. Civilians are paying the price while the world just watches Isreali aggression unfold with immpunity. Why is the Labour government still enabling UK military cooperation with Israel?

Great to join almost 100 people in St Matthews to talk about diabetes prevention and healthier futures for our communities. With diabetes affecting thousands of families, prevention, early diagnosis and better support must be at the heart of our health agenda in Westminster.

“We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us.” Jo Cox’s words stand as a lasting reminder that division is never the final word. Unity is far stronger. Today and always, we honour her memory by working to build a kinder, more united world.

If this Government is serious about British business, it should start by backing it. Stop offshoring textiles public procurement contracts, when a skilled workforce already exists in places like Leicester, ready and able to deliver.

Shockat Adam MP @shockatadam.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
I’ve met families in Leicester and beyond who lost loved ones in the crash. Their pain is still raw & they're still waiting for answers that never came. I stand with them in their calls for transparency, the final investigation report and clear accountability for how and why this tragedy happened.

Shockat Adam MP @shockatadam.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
While the world watches Palestinians being ripped from their homes, London is preparing to help sell them. An upcoming expo will promote property in illegal Israeli settlements built on Palestinian land. This is not just morally indefensible, it normalises and profits from a deadly occupation.

Our shopping baskets should never carry the weight of human exploitation or environmental harm. Great to meet Leicester Friends of the Earth to discuss protecting workers & our environment. I'll be championing their campaign in Parliament, pushing for real action that puts our planet over profit.

The only high-speed part was the spending. Taxpayers forked out £103 BILLION for HS2 - and for what? Countless delays, fraud allegations and zero transparency. How can a failure this large still be without accountability?

Always a pleasure to reconnect with volunteers at Eyres Monsell Green Gym! As a member of the Parks and Green Spaces Parliamentary Group, I’ll be taking these voices back to Westminster to champion our green spaces.

Aid is not a crime. The seizure of the Global Sumud Flotilla during a genocide is an outrageous assault on humanity. I'm meeting with the family of an abducted British citizen, and will continue to press for their immediate release & for the flotilla’s safe passage to Gaza.
