Constituents of #Iran diaspora like one I spoke to yesterday are overjoyed at downfall of a despotic regime that routinely used force against its own people for years but they're also terrified at the consequences of a neverending #IranIsraelWar

My question to the PM today on #OperationFury:

Thank you @rupahuq.bsky.social for highlighting the ongoing #Dieselgate scandal today; we're glad our #Diesel research was helpful.

Good to hear @simonlightwood.org.uk confirm DfT will consider whether changes will be needed to policy framework & enforcement after the Pan-NOx litigation judgment.

We conduct affairs of state in a building that’s riddled with asbestos with mice. Can’t Britain do any better? | Rupa Huq Parliament is steeped in history, but too many parts of the estate are dangerous and squalid. The promised upgrade can’t come a minute too soon, says Labour MP Rupa Huq

Still reeling with shock and sadness at passing of Cllr Aysha Raza on Sunday night, in her prime

Dedicated to residents, passionate in her diverse campaigning and a great friend with sense of humour and of fundamental justice she is laid to rest today and leaves a huge hole

Rest well dear friend

@rupahuq.bsky.social now holding the BBC Chair to account for the frequency of the appearances of Nigel Farage & other #ReformUK figures on BBC shows (eg #bbclaurak #bbcqt) despite having only 5 MPs 👏👏

Good - so many people want that question asked!
