I will not stay silent when decisions in Westminster impact our communities, our jobs, and our future.
I will continue to speak out, challenge Government where necessary, and stand firmly on the issues that matter to you.
Our Government may not want to be drawn into conflict with Iran—but Iran’s actions are already hitting us at home.
From threats to global security to pressure on energy supplies, the consequences are real.

Many people across Northern Ireland have generously supported Macmillan Cancer Support over the years, giving to a cause they believed was there for everyone facing cancer—regardless of background.
It has emerged that Macmillan is now developing targeted initiatives aimed at particular groups, including LGBT individuals, based on concerns about unequal access to care.
While everyone would agree that no patient should face barriers to treatment or support, many donors will reasonably ask whether this approach risks creating the perception that some groups are being given special focus over others.
Cancer affects people from every community. At a time when families right across the country are facing immense challenges, it is vital that charities maintain the confidence of the public by ensuring fairness, transparency, and equal access to support for all.
