Your independent MP for Leicester South. Leicester is my heart, home, and commitment.https://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mr6gl7ia4c2cIt is unacceptable that a child's postcode can determine whether they get the eye care they need. A simple vision screening could prevent life-long vision problems but haven't yet been made accessible.21 Jul 2026 18:24 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr6gl7ia4c2chttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mqca6jqiuc2vThis is not the time for political choreography. Wish-washy statements do not save lives. Britain must act: End arms sales. End military cooperation. Impose widespread sanctions. Uphold international law. And call it what it is: Genocide.10 Jul 2026 13:15 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqca6jqiuc2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mq5ojmkxwk2dPolitics isn’t a spectator sport.

That’s why I’m inviting young people across our city to come along to Leicester's Youth Forum. Looking forward to turning conversations into action next week!

But every time I rise to speak, I carry the voices of thousands across Leicester with me. That is the greatest privilege of serving as your MP.05 Jul 2026 17:13 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpw35alvkc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mpqqhujnds2oSchools and families are left picking up the pieces of a failing system. This was a £180 million Government contract that has delivered too many delays. Pupils will now receive results in the summer holidays, without school support when it’s needed most. I’m pressing for answers in Parliament.03 Jul 2026 14:19 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpqqhujnds2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mpooc5wr2s2iWonderful to spend time with the families involved in the Family Voices programme, making a huge difference by connecting parents with vital support services. I’ll continue to champion families in Parliament, fighting for the support they deserve.02 Jul 2026 18:34 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpooc5wr2s2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mplivpmcks23Level of violence against our rail workers is unacceptable. My constituents work tirelessly to keep passengers safe at Leicester station but are pleading for more support. I raised this vital issue with the minister who has promised his support.01 Jul 2026 12:20 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mplivpmcks23https://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mpjl7qvknk2aNow is the time to turn words into action. I welcome continued investment in Leicester's services, including the future vision for a new Women's and Children's Hospital at the Leicester Royal Infirmary, and I'll continue working to help deliver safer, more compassionate maternity care in Leicester.30 Jun 2026 17:56 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpjl7qvknk2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mphad6ua4c2xThe Gaza genocide isn't a distant headline. There's a weapons factory right here in Leicester: Elbit Systems. Why are Ministers meeting arms manufacturers behind closed doors, while the public is left in the dark? I've put the questions on the record. The Government now owes serious answers.29 Jun 2026 19:36 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mphad6ua4c2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mpequj35mc261.15 MILLION people aged 60+ waited more than 12 hours in A&E last year. This is a national disgrace. I'm backing @AgeUKs demands to restore diginity, safety and urgency to emergency care. I'll keep raising this in Parliament because this level of neglect should never be normalised.28 Jun 2026 19:54 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpequj35mc26https://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mpbmwh2dw22wWonderful to bring volunteers and groups from across Leicester’s parks and green spaces together for a roundtable discussion. Looking forward to turning these conversations into action.27 Jun 2026 14:05 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpbmwh2dw22whttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mp6lxvkc422pHad the pleasure of joining UK Business College to celebrate an incredible group of graduates. Wishing them all the best with their next chapter!

For 60 years, Leicester Karate Club has built champions, confidence and community. An honour to join their celebrations and table a motion in Parliament recognising this incredible milestone and the people who made it possible.23 Jun 2026 18:36 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3moy26igpec2chttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mous7gehis2bStarmer's legacy will not be one of change, but of broken promises.22 Jun 2026 11:35 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mous7gehis2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3molevpph7s2kWhat started as an ordinary day in the park became a memory I was made to never forget. They carried hate. We carried hope, strength and each other. And in the end, hate never wins.18 Jun 2026 17:43 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3molevpph7s2khttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mokrfyj4hs2oOne of my favourite parts of the job is meeting the next generation of changemakers! It was wonderful to visit Rolleston Primary School and meet students buzzing with questions and great ideas. We must ensure young voices continue to shape the decisions that affect their future.18 Jun 2026 11:54 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mokrfyj4hs2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3moiwd6zq622dIt's happening again: the Gazafication of Lebanon. Civilians are paying the price while the world just watches Isreali aggression unfold with immpunity. Why is the Labour government still enabling UK military cooperation with Israel?17 Jun 2026 18:17 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3moiwd6zq622dhttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3moi6frkgus2qGreat to join almost 100 people in St Matthews to talk about diabetes prevention and healthier futures for our communities. With diabetes affecting thousands of families, prevention, early diagnosis and better support must be at the heart of our health agenda in Westminster.17 Jun 2026 11:09 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3moi6frkgus2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mofdxhz3ls2d“We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us.” Jo Cox’s words stand as a lasting reminder that division is never the final word. Unity is far stronger. Today and always, we honour her memory by working to build a kinder, more united world.16 Jun 2026 08:10 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mofdxhz3ls2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mo6v6ze6t22vIf this Government is serious about British business, it should start by backing it. Stop offshoring textiles public procurement contracts, when a skilled workforce already exists in places like Leicester, ready and able to deliver.13 Jun 2026 18:30 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mo6v6ze6t22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mo4m5vkulc2dI’ve met families in Leicester and beyond who lost loved ones in the crash. Their pain is still raw & they're still waiting for answers that never came. I stand with them in their calls for transparency, the final investigation report and clear accountability for how and why this tragedy happened.12 Jun 2026 20:43 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mo4m5vkulc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mo3pjrziek2vWhile the world watches Palestinians being ripped from their homes, London is preparing to help sell them. An upcoming expo will promote property in illegal Israeli settlements built on Palestinian land. This is not just morally indefensible, it normalises and profits from a deadly occupation.12 Jun 2026 12:11 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mo3pjrziek2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mo3gga67ss2h12 Jun 2026 09:28 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mo3gga67ss2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mnzcltzpms2sOur shopping baskets should never carry the weight of human exploitation or environmental harm. Great to meet Leicester Friends of the Earth to discuss protecting workers & our environment. I'll be championing their campaign in Parliament, pushing for real action that puts our planet over profit.11 Jun 2026 13:14 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnzcltzpms2shttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mnx6xhdw4s22Applications for 2026's Summer School are now OPEN!

Taxpayers forked out £103 BILLION for HS2 - and for what? Countless delays, fraud allegations and zero transparency. How can a failure this large still be without accountability?29 May 2026 12:44 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmyktxvins2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mmgtwx5mvk2pAlways a pleasure to reconnect with volunteers at Eyres Monsell Green Gym!
