Mark Sewards MP

Well done to Morley Community Church for an excellent civic service to mark the end of Carol Edwards time as Mayor of Morley. Carol has been terrific. A huge welcome to Noel Bullock, who has now started his term as Mayor. Wishing you all the best for the year ahead Noel!

Six days ago, I wrote to Nigel Farage with five questions about his secret £5m donation. Since then, he’s had nothing to say. The public deserve answers.

Today's immigration statistics show the scale of change since Labour took office. Net migration down 82%, asylum hotel use down by 35% and small boat arrivals down 41%. The numbers speak for themselves. We are restoring order and control to our borders 🇬🇧

🔴Breaking News - Appointed as Government's National Maternity Advisor Today, I am honoured to announce that I have been appointed as the National Maternity Advisor to the Government. This role is deeply personal to me. Before I was a politician, I was - and always will be - a mother. Like far too many women across this country, I know what it feels like to come through childbirth carrying both physical and emotional scars. That experience has shaped me, driven me, and strengthened my determination to fight for safer, more compassionate maternity care for every family. Please see my statement below ⬇️

Thank you so much to the residents who attended my surgery at St Michael's Church in East Ardsley this weekend. 📍I rotate these weekly surgeries between 13 locations around Leeds South West & Morley, contact me for info: 📧mark.sewards.mp@parliament.uk

The IMF upgrading its growth forecasts for the UK and backing our fiscal strategy is yet more proof that this Government has the right economic plan.

After a turbulent week in Westminster, it's good to be home. Thanks to everyone who took the time to speak with us in Morley about the issues that matter to you and your family. Leeds South West and Morley voted for change and we are getting on with delivering it.

Strong start to 2026 for the UK economy, beating market expectations and showing that @RachelReevesMP has the right economic plan for the country.

I welcome the announcement of a bill to tackle state threats in the King’s Speech. Tehran’s terror army and its proxies pose a direct threat to the UK’s national security and to the Jewish Community. This bill must be a priority for this new session of Parliament.

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed, it was incredibly helpful. There is broad agreement in the sector on the need to regulate. We are taking all of our findings to Government as we continue this essential work. It's time to regulate the funeral sector. 3/3

Today, I brought together leading operators, representatives and professionals from right across the funeral sector to discuss what regulation should look like, what principles should govern its creation and how new rules should be enforced. 2/3

I promised Cody, Liam and Zoe that I wouldn’t stop working to regulate the funeral sector so that what happened to their babies never happens to anyone again. 1/3

🙏Thank you to residents coming to my advice surgery in Churwell this afternoon. 📍I rotate these weekly surgeries between 13 locations around Leeds South West & Morley. 📧mark.sewards.mp@parliament.uk
