Last night I went out with Portsmouth Police on #NightTimeEconomy patrols & observed the Hampshire Roads Policing Unit as they carried out #OpHolly in the lead up to Christmas š²š Good to see door staff, Street Pastors & the teams at #Prysm House Beautiful UK & #TokioJoes


Great to be out with activists, Councillors and Maria_Miller in #HatchWarren this morning. Really positive response on the doorsteps, thanks to all those who came along and to all the local residents who stopped to say hello.






Fantastic to see our latest exhibition āOur Windrush Storyā on BBC Hampshire & Isle of Wight this evening. An honour for Hampshire Cultural Trust to work with Effie Blankson and all at Basingstoke Caribbean Society & Friends & Cultural Diversity Consortium, to make this important exhibition a reality.


Smoking causes 150 cases of cancer every day in the UK. As a Cancer Research UK Ambassador for Basingstoke Iām proud to support our petition for more stop smoking support. Maria_Miller will you visit your nearest shop to show your support? bit.ly/SmokefreeAction


Today marks the 3rd Anniversary of basingstokeunitesagainstracism.com #Basingstoke #Hampshire #CommunityCohesion What better way to spend our time that to engage and empower through our āStop and Search Awareness & Advocacyā training in partnership with Hampshire Police Brighton Hill School

So honoured to be invited to Basingstoke Caribbean Society and Friends celebration of 75th Windrush Anniversary. Proud to have worked with Effie Blankson & the incredible community to deliver āOur Windrush Storyā at Willis Museum Hampshire Cultural Trust and to share it with my family today



Iām pleased that together with my Cancer Research UK campaign partner Poonam Gurung we met our #Smokefree MP Maria_Miller ahead of #WorldCancerDay2024 to discuss support for the tobacco age of sale legislation and a Smokefree UK.


I feel very proud to add my name to Cancer Research UK Policy Campaigns Ambassador Joint Statement, in support of the tobacco Age of Sale Legislation. Thank you to our MP Maria_Miller for her continued support.


Great to meet with Effie and Poonam, local ambassadors for Cancer Research UK - to discuss prioritising cancer treatment and raising awareness. Reducing cancer harm starts with prevention, which is why the Tobacco and Vapes Bill introduced by the Government is so vital.


Basingstoke raised Ā£90k for #raceforlife 2025. My co-campaigns ambassador Poonam Gurung & I loved every moment. Our MP Luke Murphy MP whoās supported the Tobacco & Vapes Bill cheered the 10k race start. Letās get the National Cancer Plan done! Cancer Research UK Cancer Research UK Policy #beatcancer
