Green MP for Brighton Pavilion. Challenging Labour with new ideas at all levels since 2014. Champion of justice, the NHS, youth services, council homes. She/her
Brighton, England
Joined January 2012
There is almost no transparency when it comes to lobbying MPs. We all need to know who politicians are listening to. Today I've published a log of every private policy meeting with campaigners, unions, and businesses in my first year as MP. Every MP should have to do the same.

An immense relief to see hostages being reunited with their families, as well as the release of Palestinian prisoners. All possible power and effort must now be directed at relieving the horrific humanitarian crisis and famine that is still gripping Gaza.

Wonderful to see this interview with Alaa now he is free in Egypt - and I hope he will be able to be properly with his son in Brighton soon!
Privilege to talk to writer Alaa Abd el-Fatah freed from Cairo jails after 12 years. Learning to heal, be with his family and how to be an activist and a dad. Gently chiding Thatcher, he suggests the campaign for his release in UK proved society exists.

More corruption, more revolving doors, more disregard for official watchdog questions. Boris Johnson clearly has real contempt for standards in public life.
Boris Johnson breached rules designed to stop abuse of contacts made in public office. Lobbied the UAE for billion-$ private venture Used senior Saudi govt contacts to pitch for a consultancy firm. Political corruption is the main cause of UK decline. https://t.co/hrQNm5T0jA

I raised this with the Council, including the leader, months ago and offered my help to prevent all this. Very disappointing not to have had this taken up.

Events that inflame division and create tension should be guarded against and @BrightonHoveCC needs better policies for which events it will host in our council-owned venues. The choice of Brighton was clearly provocative from organisers and the problems caused predictable.

It has been two long years since the horrific 7 October attacks, and still 48 Israeli hostages are not free. I really want to see the hope from current peace negotiations bear fruit for these victims, and true peace found with real action to end the genocide.
Two years on, we remember the horrific events of 7 October. We call today, and every day, for an end to the violence.

Awful to see today such a violent attack committed on our Sussex Muslim community - Greens locally and nationally are right to want the question of terrorist, as well as despicably hateful, motives to be looked at by police.
