Labour — Kensington and Bayswater

Speaking in the House of Commons on 30 January 2025

Debate

Proportional Representation: General Elections

Contribution

We have record levels of investment, record rises in wages and the fastest-growing economy in Europe. The upgrades from the International Monetary Fund and the OECD speak for themselves. The issue that we are focusing on today, fixing our democratic plumbing, matters too. The Prime Minister said that restoring trust in politics is the “battle that defines our age”, and I believe that we can earn that trust by ensuring that people feel heard and have a say in decisions that affect their lives.
