A Labour gov't may have β€œrecognised” Palestine, but still:

- Fuels Israel’s genocidal assault with record high arms exports.

- Enables UK millitary co-operation at RAF Akrotiri

- Refuses to impose wide spread sanctions

- Can't even call it what it is: Genocide.

Wonderful to celebrate 70 years of Leicester Quaker Meeting House - a true community treasure in our city on Queens Road. Great to hear stories & memories across decades!

Nothing beats a good book!

Great meeting Ella, Emma, and Sanjee from Sweet Cherry Publishing to discuss their magical work making books more accessible - because no one’s ability should limit the joy of reading.

Looking forward to championing SEND and accessibility in Parliament and beyond.

Not the activists, not the flotilla - the real terrorists are the ones orchestrating genocide on Gaza.

Horrified and appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsal on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar

My thoughts are with the community and the loved ones of all those affected. Greatful for the emergency services and all the first responders.

Took a trip down memory lane to my old school, Crown Hills!

Loved speaking at their assembly in support of the Send My Friend to School campaign.

Always a pleasure to support Leicester’s incredible students - just can’t promise to grant their wish for a 4-day school week πŸ˜‚

#NationalEyeHealthWeek is a reminder: we can’t afford to lose sight of the importance of eye care.

Proud to serve as both an Optometrist and an MP - fighting to keep eye health and primary care high on Parliament’s agenda, so no patient should ever be left behind.

Drones have savaged the Global Sumud Flotilla en route to Gaza carrying life-saving aid.

Where is our gov't as a UK-flagged vessel with British citizens is bombarded in international waters?

Labour’s deadly inaction is complicit in Israel’s siege, man-made famine & genocide.

So special to join the Dedication & Thanksgiving Service, celebrating the @leicester_cathedral restoration and new Heritage & Learning Centre.

Such an incredible culmination of 20 years of work championing faith, heritage, and community.

Classic flip-flop Keir.

Hugely valued every doorstep chat in Stoneygate!

From litter and flooding to anti-social behaviour and speeding , your concerns and priorities were heard loud and clear.

Let's continue working together to make our streets safer in Stoneygate and beyond.

Political dissent is a democratic right. People understandably feel disenfranchised by austerity & government mismanagement.

But violence & racism must never be tolerated.

My letter to the Home Secretary urges respect to be upheld & action against all forms of hatred.

In the world’s 6th richest country, 9 out of every 30 children in a UK classroom are growing up in poverty.

I am standing alongside cross-party MPs once again, calling for the two-child benefit cap to be abolished.

Under Starmer’s Labour:

MPs opposing welfare cuts and the two-child benefit cap are stripped of the Labour whip.

Yet Mandelson, "best pals" with Epstein, still remains in the House of Lords & retains the whip.

A national disgrace.

Great to meet Lucy Bronze to applaud her stellar Euros performance & discuss grassroots football -the heartbeat of our game.

I’m committed to backing Leicester’s clubs, calling for better funding, more opportunities for girls & improved facilities to keep communities thriving.
