I've just introduced my Water Bill to Parliament, which would overhaul an obviously failing system. It's being debated on Friday 28 March. We've got between now and then to build the biggest campaign we can.

To be sworn in as an MP, you have to make an oath to the King. This is what I decided to say, in protest.

After omitting to swear allegiance to King Charles' “heirs and successors” last week, I've had to take the oath again in order to sit in the House of Commons. The majority of the public are committed to democracy, and so I hope one day MPs can swear an oath based on those values.

Don't care about the coronation? Here's why you should. 👇🏾

This week I've been called a “traitor” and “disgrace”, just for wanting to swear an oath to my constituents and democracy. I've been forced to swear allegiance to the Monarch &amp; his successors. The confected outrage is covering up a much bigger issue. Here's what I think that is.

We can turn the tide against the far-right. Here's how.

I'm going to an event this Sunday to join many others who say refugees and migrants are welcome in Norwich and to oppose a far-right anti-migrant demo. Details are below. Watch the video to learn more. 12:00 Sunday 8 December Assemble in front of the Brook Hotel, Bowthorpe, Norwich

Some children in Norwich are so hungry they're eating sand at school. The Tory tax cut will do nothing for them and their families. Here’s why.

Some people are having a meltdown about my protest before having to swear an oath to the King. Here's my response.

The Duke of Westminster paid 6% tax on his £9,000,000,000 inherited wealth. Soon, 1 in 4 teachers will pay a 40% tax rate on their income. Those who who make the country’s wheels turn should not face a higher tax burden than those who earn their income from wealth.

Tomorrow your water bill will sky-rocket with an above-inflation hike. This is because the regulator is allowing extractive private companies to rinse the public. In Parliament I've called for an end to the failed experiment of water privatisation.

A person who came to the UK in search of sanctuary has died aboard the Bibby Stockholm barge. Suella Braverman refused to grant me and other MPs access to the Bibby Stockholm. Our asylum system must be based on compassion, not cruelty.

The anti-racism protests across the UK have been a wonderful reaffirmation of our collective humanity. But they will not, on their own, defeat racism and fascism. That requires political leadership. It also means an end to the mainstreaming of racist language and ideas.

Who would’ve thought it? It seems Star Wars really does imitate reality…

Suella Braverman is using the oldest trick in the book. We should be sick and tired of it by now.
