It's been great fun speaking to local people this summer at Leeds West Indian Carnival and on #LabourDoorstep.

Now is a great time to get involved, as our our members' events and socials resume in September. Featuring
@fabianhamilton.bsky.social, @tracybrabinmayorwy.bsky.social & many more!

We were listening to Roundhay residents’ hopes & concerns for the neighbourhood over the weekend.

Lots of good chats & some local issues that @fabianhamilton.bsky.social & our team will follow up.

🌹We are the only party on the streets in all Leeds North East wards, all year round.
#LabourDoorstep

NEW: After lobbying the government for @stgemmashospice.bsky.social, I'm delighted that it has allocated vital new funding. This is the biggest investment in a generation for hospices.

St Gemma's will receive £225,450 to continue its outstanding work for our family, friends and loved ones.

The Urban Tree Festival has started, with details about this and other events on the Leeds Permaculture Network Bluesky account at bsky.app/profile/ldsper…

☪️ Sending my warmest wishes to Muslim communities in Leeds and across the world during the holy month of Ramadan.

🏫 Delighted that two schools in North East Leeds will be one of the first to offer one of Labour’s free breakfast clubs.

🥞 Free breakfast clubs will be available for young people at Carr Manor School and Dixons Trinity Academy. This will boost parents' work choices and children's life chances.

I also met with allies, partners and senior parliamentarians from across the world to discuss our shared economic and security interests, in what is an unstable geopolitical environment. 3/3

It's vital that we address the stalling of progress on the UN’s sustainable development goals, empower women and girls, improve access to finance for low-income countries, help countries respond to climate change, and reduce irregular migration by addressing the causes of displacement. 2/3

🇺🇳 As Chair of British Group Inter-Parliamentary Union, I was honoured to lead a delegation to the United Nations in New York. I spoke on the importance of the Sustainable Development Goals and outlined the government’s aim of achieving a world free from poverty on a liveable planet. 1/3

🌹 Our local volunteers have been out on #LabourDoorstep this morning in Moortown & Meanwood.
💬🚮 Great conversations with voters and litter picking in our local park.

This Labour Government is on the side of working people ✅ 👉

Today marks 80 years since Auschwitz was liberated. We remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and all victims of the Nazis, including members of my own family.

It’s a timely reminder of where antisemitism can lead and highlights why it must be stamped out.

I spoke to BBC Radio 4's Today Programme about my Bill to prevent the abuse of Lasting Powers of Attorney. We must introduce new powers to safeguard vulnerable people.

Tracy Brabin is taking a selfie of all the mayors and the Deputy Prime Minister.

Devolution is already working in our regions, but this government is unleashing its full potential by giving mayors greater powers.  
 
Today marks a major milestone, giving us the flexibilities we need to deliver the better transport, skills and greener homes we need to boost our economy.

Women and girls in Afghanistan are suffering every single day.

It's simply incomprehensible that in the 21st century, the Taliban can completely silence Afghan women and girls – almost erasing their very existence, barring them from education and public life.
