Every child deserves to go to school, but in the West Bank, 40% of displaced Palestinian children have lost access to education.

In Parliament, I pushed the Foreign Secretary to set out what steps the Government is taking to ensure displaced children have the opportunity to learn.

The climate crisis is the biggest emergency this country faces. With devastating surface water flooding becoming more frequent in South Hampstead, I am sadly witnessing this emergency first hand.

Education is at the heart of emergency preparedness. However, the Curriculum and Assessment Review recently found that there is currently minimal inclusion of climate education in the national curriculum. The Hillsiders and Hampstead Climate and Nature group are calling for strengthened climate change education as well as a national emergency briefing about the state of the crisis. Today in Parliament, I called for much greater education on this emergency.

Kilburn High Road in my constituency is home to several gambling shops and casinos. My constituent was allowed inside her regular casino despite staff being aware of her self-exclusion agreement. She lost thousands of pounds.

Betting shops and casinos must protect their customers; it’s in their licence agreement. Today in Parliament, I argued that the Gambling Commission’s self-exclusion scheme is not fit for purpose and must be strengthened.

It was lovely to welcome Revd Catriona Laing and some members of Emmanuel Church to Parliament last week. I am incredibly grateful for all the work they do to care for the most vulnerable in our community 🙏🏽

We need to break the stigma around health conditions that affect women in the workplace.

My constituent @sanjuthinks was unlawfully sacked because of her endometriosis. With only 11% of employers having a menstrual health policy, discrimination against women with endometriosis is widespread. It’s time to put gynaecological conditions into the disability guidance of the Equality Act.

It was a privilege to have my constituent, Sanju, in the gallery at today’s International Women’s Day debate in Parliament.

She was unlawfully sacked for ‘underperformance’ despite suffering from crippling endometriosis. Without clear workplace protections for the condition, this is happening to countless other women across the country. Listen to my speech 👇

#Yunus’s biased election process isn’t just unfair—it’s a warning sign of deep political instability in #Bangladesh. When institutions serve one group and ignore the rule of law, elections become tools of division, not democracy.

Head of #Jamaat's #Women Wing Reaffirms #Islamist Party's Stance on Women in Leadership Roles.

Amid widespread criticism of recent remarks made by the Ameer of #JamaatEIslami Shafiqur Rahman regarding women’s leadership, the secretary of the party’s women’s division, Nurun Nessa Siddiqua, has publicly reiterated and defended his position, further intensifying the controversy.

Responding to the backlash, Siddiqua stated:

“A woman cannot be the Ameer (chief) of Jamaat-e-Islami. It is an Islamic party. We came to politics accepting the fact that men are the managers of women.”

Her comments echo those made earlier by the party Ameer in a recent interview with Al Jazeera, in which he asserted that it is “impossible” for women to hold leadership positions due to what he described as their household and maternal responsibilities.

In the same interview, Rahman defended Jamaat's decision not to nominate a single female candidate for the forthcoming national parliamentary elections scheduled for 12 February 2026.

Rahman also reaffirmed the party’s stated policy proposal to reduce women’s working hours from eight to five hours should the Islamist party come to power, framing the measure as being aligned with its interpretation of Islamic principles and social roles.

The controversy escalated further following a post on Rahman’s official X (formerly Twitter) account (@Drsr_Official) in which he again objected to women occupying leadership and public roles. The post, which has since drawn significant condemnation, likened women’s participation in public life to “prostitution,” prompting strong reactions from civil society groups, women’s rights activists, and political opponents.

In the wake of Siddiqua’s remarks, critics argue that Jamaat’s earlier attempts at damage control, particularly through statements such as as that the party is “preparing women for leadership roles”, are inconsistent with its senior leadership’s publicly stated positions.

Observers note that the comments from both the party Ameer and the head of its women’s wing suggest an entrenched ideological opposition to women’s leadership within the party, rather than a transitional or reform-oriented stance.

I’m grateful to see the media covering our campaign to make CCTV mandatory in nurseries. I have raised this in Parliament several times and will be raising it directly with the Secretary of State for Education next week.

Thank you to all my constituents who have shown such bravery and strength throughout this ordeal.
