Rupa Huq MP

In the 80s and 90s I was at Montpelier
Primary and Notting Hill and Ealing High pupil. Returned to BOTH yesterday to sample Ealing Council HAF scheme ie Summer holiday camps

Impressed by kids up to age 12 doing JAGs activities and learning Leo’s circus skills

Enjoyable evening of shared experiences @parkinsons.org.uk Ealing cafe opposite Ealing Town Hall, one of 31 similar support groups in London

All welcome!
@rorycj.bsky.social who’s been before is like many on hols for Aug

Triumphant gig in the park they bunked off in as schoolkids for Ealing’s own Brand New Heavies tonight at Walpole park.

Who needs Oasis when you can have “Midnight at the Oasis”!

Not Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory but great visit to Doughlicious artisan cookies in Park Royal with Dame Karen Buck of OPDC and @westlondonbiz.bskyb.social who started in a kitchen and are now stocked in BA and Waitrose

Their ice-cream encased in spicy dough shell was amazing

Well done England lionesses, champions of Europe.

Michelle, Hannah and Chloe you’ve done the whole nation proud.

As for Elthorne High school Ealing, Chloe’s alma mater… you can say that again:

Rupa Huq, "58 of us were considered rebels for wanting a ceasefire, everyone (including Keir Starmer) wants a ceasefire now"

"Something has to break the status quo that we've got and recognising a Palestinian state might be it"

We are grateful to Scottish Labour MSPs for adding their names in support of our statement on recognition.

Alongside yesterday’s statement from Anas Sarwar, it sends a clear message that all Scottish Labour MSPs support recognition of the State of Palestine.

I have signed the letter alongside 220+ other MPs calling for the recognition of state of Palestine

I went on @news.sky.com to explain

Latest UK #Gaza ceasefire plea alongside 25 nations already rejected by Israel, aid now a daily deathtrap, starvation widespread and enforced displacement of Gaza's 2 million population planned

I told the Foreign Secretary: we need action, words are not working

History will judge not this well

Closing ceremony of recent Japanese Matsuri festival at Wasps Rugby ground on Ealing/ Acton border

Triumphant return for first time since 2019. Welcome back West Acton primary school fete! If you’ve got a school fair upcoming in Ealing central and Acton I’d be happy to come along- email me

He is erm a “character”. Not a fan of the “lanyard classes”…

Thought provoking panel the other day at University of West London on social class. Pleased to contribute alongside @newstatesman.com Anoosh Chakelian, Lord Maurice Glasman and @cwunews.bskyb.social TUC veteran Maria Exall

Event in conjunction with Ruskin College Oxford which UWL has merged with

Arthur and Rupa Huq MP in the Houses of Parliament

Was great to meet my MP @rupahuq.bsky.social to chat about trans rights today!

It felt like she really listened to what I had to say as a trans man with a GRC on how the Supreme Court ruling and EHRC update have made things more confusing, not clearer, and are damaging to trans people.

War in Iran has left west London Iranians united in grief but divided on future There aren't many supporters of the Islamic Republic among Ealing and Hounslow’s Iranian community but few support regime change from outside

Fascinating article on Iran as viewed from west London. As I described in Parliament Ealing’s long had an Iranian diaspora who, even if they detest the present regime, are dismayed Israeli attacks on Tehran when negotiations on nuclear deal were about to restart open.substack.com/pub/theviewf...

My Sunday Times article on how minority communities and the vulnerable adversely affected by Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill 👇

Great event at John Perryn primary. Not a school fete - that’s next month - but celebration of #refugeeweek

Grateful to @rupahuq.bsky.social for highlighting the need for fair UK-wide access to abiraterone for men with prostate cancer – a campaign we've been working with @prostatecanceruk.bsky.social on.

We’re proud of the role our scientists played in discovering and developing the drug 💊

Enjoyable visit to local landmarks including world famous Ealing Studios and local favourite Ealing shopping centre in blazing sunshine with Deputy Mayor of London and Council leader Peter Mason

Enjoyed 15th Armenian festival in North Acton today

The Harmony music school graduation at at at St Martin’s west Acton ceremony was a joy in tough times for all Ukrainians

MPs back bill changes to prevent medics raising assisted dying with under-18s Next week’s final vote finely balanced, with scrutiny growing over loopholes and who will deliver the system

Am quoted here www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

I spoke in the assisted dying debate AGAINST as I feel the proposed legislation is far from infallible and the vulnerable and ethnic minorities who already suffer poor health inequalities are at risk

Out in Acton on the #Labourdoorstep today with a good response. Team included councillors @blerinahashani.bsky.social Dan Crawford, Miriam Rice and selfie expert Steve Donnelly

Eid Mubarak!

Sending good wishes or happiness and peace to all who celebrate Eid al-Adha from Ealing and Acton

Acton park festivities on until 8pm Sunday

Crowd went bananas to Ministry of Sound orchestra at Pub in the park festival relocated from Chiswick House to sumptuous Gunnersbury park

Ideal soundtrack of 90s club classics for a kid friendly festival with audience whose typical attendee is 46 year old woman

Had a chuckle at “so much for the two Ranis” myself #DoctorWho
