⁉️ My constituent Margaret Beveridge is a pensioner who has been burdened with £700 monthly outgoings after Ofgem withdrew her promised payback grant for a heat pump.
🗣️ "...how many vulnerable customers are going to suffer because of Ofgem’s rules and attitudes."
Sacking HS2 due to costs, yet greenlighting a blank cheque for £40bn nuclear projects.
If it's about net zero, why not invest more in proven renewables?
"If it's good enough for HS2, why doesn't he scrap Sizewell C and save us from that nuclear financial disaster."
Concerned about UKRI's grasp on Scottish research & funding. Professors note positive engagement but stress a funding disconnect. The 80:20 policy hampers IROs, impacting stability & research. Calling for clarity and a shift to 100% funding for improved outcomes.
🤔 The Home Office's own figures show it costs £63,000 more to deport a vulnerable person to Rwanda rather than keep them in the UK.
Astonished at the Home Secretary's claim that deporting them is some kind of moral justice and deters criminal gangs 🤷♂️
Last night I voted with my conscience and in favour of the SNP's ceasefire amendment.
Kudos to the 56 Labour MPs who put humanity before party politics.
I asked two Labour front-benchers ahead of the vote if they would be supporting a ceasefire, and the signals were clear.
We must get aid into Gaza as quickly as possible.
It's shameful that since the beginning of October only 900 aid trucks have been given access, when in normal circumstances this would be closer to 20,000.
This civilian suffering demands action, not a mere pause #ceasefireInGazaNOW
Contribution to Scottish Affairs Committee on Monday 13th November 2023
The UK Government must engage with Parkinson's UK regarding proposed changes to the work capability assessment. Half a million could be compelled into unsuitable work, facing the threat of sanctions.
🗣️ "...hopefully the Government change their mind on these cruel proposals."
⚖️ Justice for victims of the infected blood scandal
🗣️ "...will the Government do the right thing and bring in a compensation framework before there is a risk of a general election kicking everything even further into the long grass?"
AI can be a beneficial technology, but the UK Government must follow the EU in legislating... 🗣️
"...but what we need is actual action and commitment from the Government."
