I have joined over 100 Labour MPs in signing an amendment which would stop the vote on disability benefit cuts next week. I agree we need to reform our welfare system, but I cannot overlook that this Bill is estimated to put even more households into poverty.

The heartbreaking moment when you or your family member gets the devastating news of terminal illness, the last thing you need is to worry about money & bills. So we are exempting people their families from council tax. Thanks to Marie Curie for championing ending poverty.

It was great to speak at the “To Business Without Barriers: Removing Obstacles in UK–Türkiye Trade" panel event in Parliament. I touched on strengthening our deep bilateral ties and unlocking greater opportunities under the FTA. 🤝

I had an important discussion on 'Dental Deserts' in Parliament with the Association of Dental Groups.🦷 Over 2,700 dentist vacancies are leaving millions without care, including many of my constituents. I will continue to advocate for this urgent issue.

I am abstaining from this vote, as today's vote also includes proscribing well-known & violent neo-Nazi groups. I can't in good conscience vote in a way that represents my and my constituents' views with these groups being voted on all together. My letter to the Home Secretary👇

Today, I heard President Macron address Parliament and welcome his clear call for recognising Palestinian statehood. The UK must show the same moral clarity. Recognition is a key step to justice, lasting peace, and affirming our commitment to a two-state solution.

Great news that Pakistan Airlines has been removed from the UK Air Safety List, allowing it to apply to resume flights between the two countries. Many constituents had expressed concerns regarding the ban, and I am glad to have campaigned for this issue.

Following record levels of Islamophobic attacks, this Labour Government has established a fund to boost victim support and strengthen online & office hate crime reporting nationwide through the British Muslim Trust. 👇 buff.ly/lQuHB6C

The JCHR's new report, 'Forced Labour in UK Supply Chains', is out today. Presents how the UK’s legal & regulatory frameworks are inadequate for tackling supply chain abuses and what must be done. There's no room for goods tainted by slave labour on our shelves.👇

I joined 220 MPs in signing a cross-party letter urging UK recognition of the State of Palestine ahead of next week’s UN summit. The horrors we are seeing go beyond comprehension. We must join the majority of the world & give substance to our commitment to a two-state solution.
