Trans people deserve the same level of equality as everyone else. I have written to the Government today…

I table EDM in support of local BBC shows

I’ve just tabled EDM #608 in Parliament supporting our local BBC shows in the East of England, which are seemingly under threat as the corporation seeks to make cuts to programming at the local level. Both Inside Out and Politics East are unique programmes, rooted in the heart of our…
