The same men who would out a friend behaving badly, abusively, or illegally, are going to be the men who save the economy, the environment, the vulnerable, the unlikely, and the unseen, from a life of fear, hurt, pain, insecurity, isolation and abuse. And the rest of us will back them dawn to dawn.

It was never only up to the moms. If Cornell is about anything, it’s about dads raising the best in their boys, and ingraining the moral compass which will not allow them to act on stray monstrous urges. By adulthood, there’s no excuse. It’s time to loop back on those who didn’t get it 1st time.

Herbert Spencer got it so wrong that in 2026 we’re still playing whac-a-mole with his ideology. I’d like to think with today’s interconnectivity of great minds & mindful practices we’re capable of eradicating the hurtful harms of “survival of the fittest” which thrive in the heartlands of hate.

Nobody stopped it. The point is, people who had the most to lose by stopping it … chose belonging over doing the right thing. Nobody detached themselves from the belonging to create a new normal; one where care in action matters more & belonging is secondary. What am I referring to? You decide.

Met with Camden Leaseholders Forum this morning to hear about leasehold issues in Holborn and St Pancras. I was disappointed to hear they had been promised a dedicated councillor for leaseholders but this was reneged on by Camden Council. As MP I'll hold the council to account.

A fairer voting system can't wait until after the next general election. We need electoral reform now.
WE NEED FAIR VOTING BEFORE THE NEXT ELECTION
 
ELLIE CHOWNS
MP FOR NORTH HEREFORDSHIRE
 
"The PM cannot acknowledge the unfairness of a system capable of handing power to a government with a minority of the vote share, and then say the answer is to let that happen exactly once more before he fixes it.
 
Burnham must act with urgency to immediately jumpstart the National Commission, guarantee timely progress, and ensure its recommendations are delivered in time for a fairer voting system to be in place at the next general election."

Every year we delay real climate action, the bill gets higher — in lives, in money, and in irreversible loss. The cheapest, safest, and most just path is rapid transition to clean energy + nature protection now. Delay is the most expensive choice of all. #ClimateCrisis
