And this is just a selection of the work I have shared publicly. Not every action I take can be shared, including my work as part of my role in the Joint Committee on Human Rights.

I have been supportive of Trans rights my whole parliamentary career and this will never change

Sure, but I use SM to display my actions in Parliament as well as to share my thoughts on issues. Just in the past year since my re-election I have:

If you take a look through my debate contributions and social media you'll see that this is an issue that I have consistently raised

The UK need to take every diplomatic and economic measure to apply maximum pressure on the Israeli Government alongside allies before it is too late.

We need to see the UK Government sanction the entire Israeli Government as collectively responsible, as well as others responsible for War Crimes, and ensure we are meeting all our Geneva Convention obligations.

All the while we see more landgrabs in the West Bank and Settlers illegally building on #Palestinian land.

These actions will do nothing to secure the release of all hostages, bring about a permanent ceasefire, or improve humanitarian access into #Gaza.

The use of starvation, the systematic destruction of civilian homes and infrastructure, and forced displacement of entire communities, all with dehumanising rhetoric clearly meet the Geneva’s Convention criteria for genocidal intent.

The massing of troops and the plan to reinvade Gaza, alongside another mass displacement of the People of Gaza, who have suffered intolerable pain and loss at the hands of the Israeli Government, is completely unacceptable.

Yorkshire Water is one of the highest polluters, and customers in Yorkshire are currently facing a hosepipe ban, so how can this possibly be performance-related?

It has been revealed that Nichola Shaw, the Chief Executive of Yorkshire Water, has received Β£1.3m in previously undisclosed extra pay from an offshore parent company.

Together with my colleagues, I have written to Vanda Murray, the chair of #YorkshireWater, demanding an explanation.

I caught up up with Alison Lowe, Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime in West Yorkshire , to talk #CrossbowLegislation following the attack in Headingley earlier this year, and to discuss local casework issues.

It is as bad as we have ever seen it.

The scenes of famine in Gaza are simply barbaric.

As MPs of Israeli and Palestinian descent, we hope though that recognition of the State of Palestine will serve to flame the embers of hope for peace.

It was great to support the Zero HIV Stigma day this month.

This day is important to challenge myths about how HIV is - and isn't - transmitted.

It’s time for the UK to recognise a Palestinian state Having just returned from four days in Israel-Palestine, it is clear to me that we need the international community to take serious action. Not jus...

Read the article I wrote last February, calling for the recognition of a Palestinian state, following my visit.

I have supported the creation of a Palestinian State my whole life. The UK recognising a Palestinian State is a significant step along the way and I have consistently called for it since being elected. I support the conditions put forward by the UK Government which the Israeli Government should be doing irrespective of recognition. My belief is that the UK should be recognising Palestine now, but I understand that the UK Government are trying to push the Israeli Government to end the famine in Gaza, annexation of land in the West Bank and start a final status peace process.

Just last week, I reaffirmed my support for the UK recognition of Palestine as a state in a joint letter with more than 100 Labour colleagues.
