βͺοΈ Wishing my Muslim friends and the Leeds Muslim community a peaceful and blessed holy month of Ramadan.
Ramadan Mubarak!
Brexit Britain is finished.
With Labour, Britain is reclaiming its place in the world, fuelled by a reset of our relationship with our European partners.
The Prime Minister is right. There is no British security without Europe and there is no European security without Britain.
On Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and all victims of the Nazis including members of my own family.
I signed the Holocaust Educational Trustβs Book of Commitment. Antisemitism is a very real threat and we must challenge it wherever it occurs.
Today we lost a wonderful person, a woman who fought for social justice all her life, a mother who was bringing up four lovely children, a daughter who made her parents proud.
I have always been grateful to call Mahalia France-Mir my friend.
Labour will deliver Northern Powerhouse Rail π
This transformational plan means quicker connections across the North β boosting jobs, growth and cutting carbon.
After a decade of Tory cuts and chaos, only Labour has the vision and backbone to get it done.
Another productive advice surgery at the Reginald Centre in Chapeltown. Iβm grateful to the North East Leeds residents who came to see me.
Securing positive outcomes for local residents is my top priority and I have assisted hundreds of constituents over the last year.
Freedom of religious belief is a principle that our country prides itself on. We must defend it at every turn.

π² Pleased to support the launch of LNER Beryl Bikes in Leeds. More e-bikes and bays make it simpler for people to cut congestion and pollution, and enjoy our brilliant city.
The bikes are parked outside Leeds Train Station and across the city.
Russiaβs strike on the @britishcouncil.bsky.social in Kyiv is an attack on education, culture, and international cooperation.
As Chair of the APPG British Council & Soft Power, I condemn this act of aggression and welcome the Governmentβs swift decision to summon Russiaβs ambassador.

We said we'd ban bonuses for polluting water bosses. We did.
Great to be with Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Steve Reed MP to discuss this Labour Government's work to clean up our waters.
I have signed the reasoned amendment. Our welfare system needs reform. But if we are to get this right, we cannot make it more difficult for those who are living with disabilities to get the support they need.
I cannot vote to make North East Leeds residents worse off.
NEW: This Labour Government has announced anyone on means-tested benefits will get Β£150 off their energy bills this winter, as it expands the Warm Homes Discount.
This will directly support many households in North East Leeds at a difficult time for families and communities.
