Video: my latest Covid-19 update

In this latest video update, I talk about the work I’ve been doing in Parliament during the Covid-19 pandemic – in particular as the Vice-Chair of the APPG (All Party Parliamentary Group) for coronavirus, which is pushing for a public inquiry into the handling of this crisis. It’s clear mistakes…

I raise four day week in Parliament

Today in Treasury questions I asked the Chancellor to consider a 4-day working week in the government’s COVID-19 recovery plans.

Update on pubs re-opening

Tomorrow, pubs and bars are allowed to re-open and many establishments in our city will be welcoming in customers for the first time since March. I know lots of pubs/bars in Norwich have been working hard to introduce appropriate social distancing and other measures to ensure they can operate in…

#ThankYouNHS – and Happy 72nd Birthday!

I sign ‘Power of Youth’ pledge

I’ve added my name to this open letter calling on the Prime Minister to hold a dedicated press conference for young people to answer their questions about Covid-19: what it means for them now and in the months to come. It also asks for under-18s to be allowed to submit…
