I table motion against predatory financial practices in the adult social care sector

Panorama’s #CrisisInCare episode revealed how the care of some of the most vulnerable in our society is in the hands of private equity firms and hedge funds. I have Sponsored Early Day Motion 767 which calls on the Government to tackle the financially extractive and growth-dependent model of such companies, which is…

I speak to ITV News about vaccine passports

I spoke to ITV News about the Government’s new Covid regulations, and their plan to introduce vaccine passports. As I told ITV, there are civil liberty issues and there are actually issues with them working. There’s nothing to stop people who have a vaccine passport from spreading the disease to…

My visit to Harriet Court ‘home with care’ scheme

I support a people’s vaccine

Omicron is a wake up call – Boris Johnson’s global vaccine strategy is a disastrous failure. Today I joined STOPAIDS Just Treatment and Global Justice Now to call on the Government to break big pharma’s monopolies. The UK must stop blocking the #TRIPSwaiver, which would help bring vaccine access to…

My visit to Fuse Norwich

Big thanks to FUSE Norwich, which I recently visited to hear more about the social enterprises in our city. It’s fantastic to see so many new social enterprises starting up, especially in the context of the growing climate crisis. Social enterprises put people and the planet ahead of shareholders by…

Read my comments on dentistry in Norfolk

We need a properly resourced dentistry service that works for everyone. The reason we haven’t got one has been years in the making. Dentistry is scandalously underfunded and is the only element of the English health service that has to scrape by on a budget lower than it had when…

Read my comment in OpenDemocracy on the current UK support for Afghan refugees

I spoke to openDemocracy about their latest investigation which revealed that 99% of calls to the UK’s Afghanistan helpline were never answered. I told them that the public has clearly been misled about the extent of government action, as what the government said they were doing to support evacuation efforts…
