@EllieChowns @LisaSmartMP @Euan4Falkirk @sarahjolney1 You should note that the Scottish Government elections are done by Proportional Representation. If Scot Gov elections were First past the Post = many fewer Tory & Labour MSPs in Scot. SNP would overwhelmingly win on a better %age of the vote than many Westminster 'landslides'.

Thank you Liz Twist MP for raising awareness of #CarersRightsDay in the House of Commons today. We agree there is a great need for a debate to be held in Parliament so MPs can raise the challenges that carers across the UK are facing and how to better support them.

Today in Parliament 📢 MPs asked important questions to the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, including on the impact of the increase in National Insurance employers contributions on general practice, which was raised several times with thanks to Martin Wrigley MP MP, Sarah Olney MP, Lincoln Jopp MC MP MP, Seamus Logan MP, Wendy Chamberlain MP and Shadow Health Minister Dr Luke Evans MP MP. In response Wes Streeting said GPs needed to "hold tight for funding allocations" so they could make "informed decisions about staffing and patient care." It is important that practices are given urgent clarity on how additional resources to cover these costs would be allocated, and separate from any additional investment in general practice so that it does not come at the expense of improving patient care.

Imagine the Greens holding the balance of power in a hung Parliament after the next election. Impossible? That’s what Dr Ellie Chowns MP and me were told about the “unwinnable” seats we won a year ago! With a clear strategy, we know this is entirely possible!

I raised a Point of Order in the House of Commons about the behaviour of the MP for Brighton Kemptown. There can be no other explanation other than he was trying to intimidate Miriam Cates MP - following a debate on the Scottish Gender Recognition Bill. Completely unacceptable

My representations to the Backbench Business Committee for a Backbench Business Debate on Trends in Excess Deaths. Unfortunately, we couldn't secure a three hour debate in the House of Commons chamber, but I am hopeful we will get a date in January for a debate in Westminster Hall. Thank you to all of my colleagues who supported me, especially Sir Philip Davies who joined me at the Committee today and Sammy Wilson MP 🇺🇦🇬🇧 who had planned to join us in the Committee but was speaking in the Commons chamber. I would also like to say a huge thank you to those who supported my application for a debate: Dame Andrea Jenkyns DBE 🇬🇧, @ScottBentonMP, Paul Girvan MP, Neale Hanvey🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, Henry Smith 🇬🇧, rt hon Sir Desmond Swayne TD MP, Jim Shannon MP, Adam Holloway MP, Karl McCartney, Heather Wheeler, Miriam Cates, Ian Paisley MP, Philip Hollobone MP, Sir Christopher Chope MP and Gregory Campbell MP

The biggest enemy of working-class females are white, middle-class women. This is Dr Ellie Chowns MP, Green MP for North Herefordshire. "There is no credible evidence that people seeking asylum are more likely to commit crimes than the average member of the population." Eg Afghans are 22x more likely to be a rapist & a man from the Congo 12x more likely to have a criminal conviction. Ladies & gentlemen, graphs & evidence at the ready in the comments.

#Thread on crazy scenes from #RajyaSabha where #OnlineGamingBill2025 was passed WITHOUT any debate, just like in #LokSabha yesterday. See video👇just when a BJP MP starts speaking on the #OnlineGamingBill2025, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rijiju cuts her to say that, there is disturbance, nothing can be heard (thought that MP was heard quite clearly) let's pass the Bill without any debate! Waah. This was always their plan. And just seconds before he was sermonising Opposition MPs for not cooperating and participating in debate on Bills in #MonsoonSession2025. Later, as a formality Rijiju said that let her speak because she was speaking in support of Bill 🙄 But by then the Bill was already taken up for voting. Before that, Minister Ashwini Vaishnav spoke on the Bill for about 7 minutes and MP Dr. John Brittas moved a motion to refer Bill to a Select Committee. Contd..

Today Parliament debated the issue of Violence Against Women and Girls. I spoke about James McMurdock, the Reform MP with a conviction for violently attacking his former girlfriend. Nobody who has served a custodial sentence for attacking a woman should be able to become an MP.

Seme MP Dr James Nyikal wears many hats, including being Chair of Luo MPs in the Parliament of Kenya. Today, he led Luo MPs to a burial in Alwala Kombija and said things you may want to get a translator for. Dholuo teachers in the House, this is your chance to save the world.

🤫 Shhh... there's a major scandal in British politics. Under our voting system, politicians can get elected with just a fraction of the vote, meaning millions of votes don't count. That's why Lisa Smart MP is fighting for fair votes where every vote matters.

*The most pathetic thing I've seen in parliament, ever* Dawn Butler MP says Sarah Pochin MP's iss racist Deputy Speaker tells her off and tells her to withdraw the remark Butler repeats, Pochin is racist Deputy Speaker tells her off again for calling another MP a racist Butler repeats what Pochin said and says that is a racist comment Deputy Speaker says its not the comment, but the fact that you called another MP racist Butler, "You're giving me deja vu. I appreciate in this house we have to be respectful and not call MPs what they actually are. The comment is a racist comment. It's strange I can't call her out for being a racist, having made a racist comment" Deputy Speaker, "Please, time and time again, please consider withdrawing the comment about a member of this house being a racist" Butler, "I don't want to be thrown out of parliament again. So I will withdraw the fact that I am referring to the member of parliament as a racist because of her racist comment" Deputy Speaker waffles on for a bit How tragic for our democracy that it is more important to be polite about an MP than to point out that the MP is a racist based on actual racist remarks from said MP

Nigel Farage, "Today, I will resign as an MP for Clacton" "This is a people vs the establishment election, a chance to stick two fingers up to the establishment, to frankly tell them where to go" "To the voters of Clacton: if I win, you win" You win an MP who doesn't hold in-person surgeries like other MPs You win an MP who received a £5m gift without declaring it You win an MP who earns more per hour from a gold company than the average disposable annual income in Clacton Good luck with your choices Clacton 👍
