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/3mlv6mi6bw22mThe housing crisis will not just be solved in Westminster. It needs our colleges and training centres. If we are serious about building 1.5 million homes and delivering the infrastructure Britain needs, we must fund further education colleges and invest in the next generation of skilled workers.15 May 2026 11:02 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlv6mi6bw22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mltgnxjcjk2vThe Prime Minister seems more focused on his own political survival and the Westminster soap opera of scandal, rather than the real-life struggles outside the bubble. My constituents want a government that puts people first. That's what our amendment is calling for.14 May 2026 18:20 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mltgnxjcjk2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mlsjkyi33k22Alway great to meet PANS/PANDAS UK, discussing support for the immune-related conditions that can cause sudden, life-altering changes in a child's brain. Powerful to hear young people sharing lived experience and calling for greater awareness, earlier diagnosis and better support for families.14 May 2026 09:40 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlsjkyi33k22https://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mlnnfa56xs2z12 May 2026 11:05 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlnnfa56xs2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mlleft5prk2wAfter a seismic election defeat, Starmer still says "we got the big political decisions right." Those ‘right decisions’ have devastated ordinary lives. That is Starmer's record. Rejected at the ballot box and won't be forgotten at the next election.11 May 2026 13:19 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlleft5prk2whttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mkve3udtvs2rSince last week, I’ve been pushing local stakeholders to act on sewage pollution in Knighton Park's brook. Public health, our environment, and accountability must be front and centre. Ample work has been underway.

Starmer is completely obliterating public trust. And paving the way for malign characters to thrive in British politics. No more excuses. No more buck-passing. This is on Starmer.21 Apr 2026 17:23 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjziqab4hk2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mjypwfzb2c2jStarmer can’t keep deflecting questions over Peter Mandelson’s appointment. It comes down to one issue: judgment at the highest level of government. If trust is weakened there, nothing else holds. The public deserves better.21 Apr 2026 09:59 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjypwfzb2c2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mjpm6v5dgk2aSTEM isn’t just the future.

Public money should never be catapulted into private hands. Our NHS is not a marketplace. It’s a lifeline. And under Labour, it’s being taken for a ride.16 Apr 2026 11:05 +0000at://did:plc:wgitzdwbugc6aem6aei65txv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjmbcnojbs23https://bsky.app/profile/shockatadam.bsky.social/post/3mjgzfx5ye22sIt was wonderful celebrating Vaisakhi Leicester's Sikh Community, marking the birth of the Khalsa and the harvest season.
