Victoria Derbyshire, "Elon Musk had already hit out, calling the UK a police state" "Adding, the real goal is to enable the UK government to track everyone" Speaking of tracking people, here are 30 ways Twitter does it: 1. Account activity (posts, likes, reposts, follows, replies, searches) 2. Time spent viewing specific posts 3. Clicks on links and media 4. Cookies stored in your browser 5. IP address 6. Device identifiers 7. Browser fingerprinting signals (browser type, screen size, language settings, etc.) 8. Mobile advertising IDs (Android Advertising ID, Apple Advertising Identifier where available) 9. Location data (GPS if permitted, IP-based location, Wi-Fi/network information) 10. Contact uploads (if you grant access) 11. Email address and phone number 12. Payment information (for paid services) 13. Cross-device matching (linking your phone, tablet, and computer to the same user) 14. Embedded X posts on third-party websites 15. X Pixel tracking on external websites 16. Websites using X advertising or conversion tools 17. Apps using X SDKs or integrations 18. Login with X integrations on third-party sites 19. Ad interactions and conversions 20. Inferred interests and behavioural profiling 21. Social graph analysis (who you follow, interact with, and are connected to) 22. Content analysis of posts, messages, and media 23. Network and connection information (mobile carrier, ISP, network type) 24. Diagnostic and crash reports from the app 25. Approximate location derived from activity patterns 26. Data obtained from advertising partners and data providers 27. Engagement with videos (watch time, rewatches, completion rates) 28. Search history on the platform 29. Hashtags, topics, and communities you engage with 30. Account recovery and security information

We fought hard to give private renters new rights and protections - and our reforms are working.

We are banning social media access for under 16s. These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life. I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.

Keir Starmer has announced his plan for an under-16 social media ban, covering platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, Facebook and X. The plans also include extra protections from harmful features such as livestreaming and contact from strangers, including on gaming sites.

The government has announced a ban on social media apps for under 16s.

Great piece on the #LabourGovernment’s track record on defence by my fellow Labour MP, @JohnSlinger: labourlist.org/2026/06/labou…

This is great news. So welcome to hear.

Community pharmacy is an important part of all of our day-to-day lives. It’s especially true in Watford where in addition to many fantastic pharmacies, we have Sigma, a big local employer. So, it was brilliant to host the #RecognitionOfExcellence Awards in Parliament yesterday.

More money for good causes in #Watford and a better chance of being a #Lotto winner with the new #OneTicketTwoChances National Lottery game. watfordobserver.co.uk/leisur…

One of the privileges of my job is to serve on the Public Accounts Committee. It was a real honour to ask questions of Sir Alan Bates and the other witnesses.

Watford’s community organisations were out in force at the weekend, showing residents the amazing work they do and recruiting volunteers to help them. I’d like to congratulate every one of them. You are making such a positive difference.

Huge credit to @Jess4Lowestoft By taking legal action against xAI, she's standing up for countless women and girls who have experienced the same abuse. Sign the petition to hold them accountable: actionnetwork.org/forms/saia…

More than 100 organisations, experts and campaigners have signed this statement supporting my legal action against xAI. I'm grateful to everyone who has spoken out, and to everyone supporting the wider fight against AI generated abuse @stopAIabuse1 independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

82 years ago, on the beaches of Normandy, brave British and Allied forces changed the course of history forever. We must never forget the service and sacrifice of those courageous men and women. Our debt to them can never be repaid.

The #LabourGovernment Chancellor, Rachel Reeves has announced that the fuel duty freeze will be extended to the end of the year to help with the cost-of-living crisis.

Today, we commemorate 82 years since the Normandy landings, beginning the liberation of Western Europe. We honour the bravery and sacrifice of all those who fought and defeated fascism. We will remember them.

Today, I’m launching a High Court claim against xAI, the company behind Grok. I am just one of thousands of women and even children who have been the victim of abusive and sexualised AI deepfakes. This should never have happened – and xAI must be held accountable.

This is the difference this Labour government is making. Kids starting the day full and ready to learn, no matter their background. An achievement all Labour MPs can be proud of- and opposed by the Conservatives and Reform.

An honour to hear #AlanMilburn speak about his report, Young People and Work on how the government is going to tackle YP not in education, employment or training (NEETS). This is one of the dominant issues of our age and this #LabourGovernment is determined to tackle it!

Great to attend the #HertfordshireHousingConference to hear about the progress and challenges in delivering more social and affordable housing in #Watford and Herts. Also good to see some familiar faces. Well done to the organisers.
