Labour MP for Nottingham East • Nottingham born and bred • she/her 🌹🏹🏳️‍🌈https://bsky.app/profile/nadiawhittomemp.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social/post/3mlvpgjdez22oIt's always a pleasure to visit Himmah and hear about the work they are doing to tackle poverty and racism in Nottingham. I am pleased that they are one of the local hubs for Power to Prosper - a project that aims to address the root causes of poverty, inequality and problem debt in this country.15 May 2026 16:03 +0000at://did:plc:us7qseja2rtuhjepfoy7dpl2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlvpgjdez22ohttps://bsky.app/profile/nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social/post/3mltdcymlnk26The NEC must allow Andy Burnham to put himself forward to be the candidate for Makerfield. To block our most popular politician, in a moment of severe crisis for our party, would not only gift this seat to Reform but would jeopardise Labour's future. 1/214 May 2026 17:20 +0000at://did:plc:us7qseja2rtuhjepfoy7dpl2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mltdcymlnk26https://bsky.app/profile/nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social/post/3mlsoseoe7c2yEvery affiliated trade union has said that Keir Starmer cannot lead us into the next election and calls for a new leader. We need to show that we’ve learnt from the government’s mistakes and get on with delivering the change that people expected. 1/214 May 2026 11:13 +0000at://did:plc:us7qseja2rtuhjepfoy7dpl2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlsoseoe7c2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social/post/3mlqotatbzk26From neglectful landlords to soaring rents and getting trapped in tenancies, renting as a student can be a nightmare. It's vital that they understand their rights under the Renters' Rights Act, so I was pleased to speak to NTU and UoN students about what's changed and what more we must fight for.13 May 2026 16:08 +0000at://did:plc:us7qseja2rtuhjepfoy7dpl2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlqotatbzk26https://bsky.app/profile/nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social/post/3mlniakpnd22cNow is the time for the Prime Minister to accept that he can’t lead us into the next election. He needs to set out a timetable for his departure, so we can take a different political direction and deliver the change people voted for in 2024. 1/212 May 2026 09:33 +0000at://did:plc:us7qseja2rtuhjepfoy7dpl2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlniakpnd22chttps://bsky.app/profile/nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social/post/3mll4pabk2k2jThe Prime Minister has yet again failed to learn the lessons of the local elections, doubling down on what he believes he has got right instead of reflecting on what he has got wrong. We need a government that excites people about the future, and that motivates them to choose that future. 1/511 May 2026 11:01 +0000at://did:plc:us7qseja2rtuhjepfoy7dpl2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mll4pabk2k2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social/post/3mlduieht4k2aThe election results in England, Wales and Scotland are a disaster for the Labour Party, and I send commiserations to the many fantastic Labour representatives who have lost their seats. Frankly, if we don’t get our act together, Labour will face total destruction.08 May 2026 13:45 +0000at://did:plc:us7qseja2rtuhjepfoy7dpl2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlduieht4k2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social/post/3mlbhneaizk2fWith no local elections in Nottingham today, we’re out in Lincoln campaigning to keep Reform out 🌹🗳️07 May 2026 14:50 +0000at://did:plc:us7qseja2rtuhjepfoy7dpl2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlbhneaizk2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social/post/3ml6mnf2xos2hTomorrow, millions will vote in elections across England, Scotland and Wales. Farage’s far-right party is set to make huge gains — that is a danger to all of us. Reform is counting on working class people’s anger with politics, but they’re not the party for workers. Don’t let them tear us apart.06 May 2026 11:41 +0000at://did:plc:us7qseja2rtuhjepfoy7dpl2/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml6mnf2xos2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social/post/3mksllrpxqs2wThe Labour government’s Renters’ Rights Act comes into force today, ending no-fault evictions for 11 million tenants in England. There is, of course, much more to do to address the housing crisis: rents are still at record highs, LHA remains frozen, and leasehold reform is long overdue.

This #InternationalWorkersDay, we must keep fighting for better conditions, for the workers of today and generations to come. Join a union and get organised.01 May 2026 13:05 +0000at://did:plc:us7qseja2rtuhjepfoy7dpl2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mks6xxxtrk2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social/post/3mkpzg4p76222I spoke at the Stop Trump’s and Netanyahu’s Wars protest in Nottingham, in solidarity with the people of Iran, Lebanon and Palestine. I called for the government to withdraw permission for the US to use UK bases, and to work together with the rest of the international community to stop the war.30 Apr 2026 16:20 +0000at://did:plc:us7qseja2rtuhjepfoy7dpl2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkpzg4p76222https://bsky.app/profile/nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social/post/3mkng62w6sc2lShocked by the suspected arson attack on Pink Punters, an LGBTQ+ club in Milton Keynes. I’m relieved that no one was hurt, given how packed out the club was, but this could have been fatal.

If he won't, I feel I have no choice but to vote to refer him - because my constituents expect me to hold the Prime Minister to the same standards that I would any other leader.28 Apr 2026 16:50 +0000at://did:plc:us7qseja2rtuhjepfoy7dpl2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkl24uhkkc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social/post/3mkijshmw5s2gMy team and I work every day to serve the people of Nottingham East.

It was a pleasure to welcome LGBT+ campaigners to Parliament to celebrate with the Global LGBT+ Rights APPG. From equal access to fertility treatments, to tackling homophobic violence and abuse there is so much for us to fight for both here and around the world.24 Apr 2026 14:37 +0000at://did:plc:us7qseja2rtuhjepfoy7dpl2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkaquas4j22whttps://bsky.app/profile/nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social/post/3mk65gmsnms2sI’m horrified that the government has announced £660 million to fund riot squads on French beaches, with teargas, shields and batons to be used on refugees fleeing war and persecution. Instead of subjecting desperate people to more violence, we should be opening safe and legal routes.23 Apr 2026 13:44 +0000at://did:plc:us7qseja2rtuhjepfoy7dpl2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk65gmsnms2shttps://bsky.app/profile/nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social/post/3mk3js5x7s22lThe past few days have made it very clear that No. 10 put significant pressure on the civil service to push through Mandelson’s appointment as ambassador to the US, despite security concerns and his well-known ties to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.22 Apr 2026 12:47 +0000at://did:plc:us7qseja2rtuhjepfoy7dpl2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk3js5x7s22lhttps://bsky.app/profile/nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social/post/3mk37jlmows2vIt was a pleasure to visit Forager’s Kitchen, who make some of the best vegan food in Nottingham.

This money could have paid for 9,178 doctors or 19,428 nurses.

Drilling in the North Sea won’t make energy cheaper, despite what Badenoch or Farage say, because the price of gas is set by international markets.
