‘Sex MP’ has no regrets as she warns about need for lifelong sex education

Labour MP Samantha Niblett, known as 'the sex MP,' has defended her controversial calls for improved sex education and open discussions about sex and relationships. She argues that lifelong education is essential to address sexual abuse and promote healthier attitudes toward sex. Niblett, who chairs the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Sex and Reproductive Health, has received support from actress Dame Emma Thompson and experts. She criticized the stigma surrounding sex toys and emphasized the importance of open dialogue about both positive and negative aspects of sex. Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch attacked Labour's approach, calling it 'fiddling while Rome burns.' Campaigners continue to push for reforms in sex education, citing concerns about inadequate teaching in schools.
