Thrilled to see @women4changeLei start their next chapter as a CIC! It’s been a true pleasure to support their incredible journey. Huge thanks for all your hard work in St Matthews and beyond!
Independent Alliance statement on the formation of a new party. Putting People before Politics!
A third consecutive final at a major tournament. Our Lionesses ❤️
Empty words from the Foreign Sectetary will not heal the broken children of Gaza. Enough with the synthetic outrage, we need to see tangible change. Get medical aid to the people now.
Chronic homelessness isn’t inevitable. At @Action_Homeless, I saw what’s possible with compassion & incredible support. Time to shift from crisis response to prevention and back @Homeless_Link’s #BreakingTheCycle.
Absolutely fantastic to meet the young talent at @Billysboxing 🥊 Huge thanks to Bilal and the team for championing Leicester’s youth
It was an honour to host my colleagues for a roundtable on eye health. Some fantastic organisations took part, such as @Specsavers, @Moorfields, @CollegeOptomUK, @PocklingtonHub, @The_AOP to name a few. Thank you for bringing your expertise to the table.
Facial recognition technology, it is not accurate, it is not safe and it disrupts our fundamental rights - Is it coming to a police force near you?
Cancer is the #1 disease killer of young people. Yet, their needs are too often overlooked. Honoured to meet heroic staff at @TeenageCancer’s Leicester unit. Faster diagnosis, more clinical trials & tailored care must shape the new National Cancer Plan.
"Patients are losing their sight not because care does not exist, but because the pathway is broken and follow-up is delayed," said @ShockatAdam. As an optometrist and MP he emphasised the need for a national glaucoma pathway. Read more ➡️ ow.ly/Thfr50Wp4lf #OT
Only 2.6% of rentals in Leicester South are affordable on housing benefit, I asked the government how freezing support until 2026 helps tackle homelessness?
As Vice Chair of the SEND APPG, supporting the @Neurodiversitysupportcic Community Café pre-launch was close to my heart. Huge thanks to Shamina and team for creating this vital space for neurodiverse families. Excited to see it grow!
Quarterfinalists! What a performance from our @Lionesses 👏 Huge congrats, the whole country is cheering you onwards #WEURO2025
Our quarter-final tie is set 🤝 #Lionesses | @NuffieldHealth
Always an honour to meet Tikhara, Bernadette & the phenomenal team at Woodleigh Community Lifeline - a sanctuary where women rebuild after trauma. Their care is life-saving. We must fight for funding, safety and dignity for all women.
"Israel is writing one of the darkest pages in the history of genocides, with 'Made in the West' ink.” Now, that very ink stains the hands of those who have sanctioned Francesca Albanese for speaking truth to power.
A line for aid became a line for bloodshed. Again. History won’t forgive this.
Israel kills 66 Palestinians, including eight children, as they queue for nutritional supplements outside a health clinic on the 643rd day of its genocide in besieged Gaza Live updates👇 trt.world/c9gv
The Srebrenica genocide will forever be a scar on humanity’s soul. ‘Never again’ must be a promise we live by. Not just words we say once a year. Because the world stayed silent for too long in 1995. We cannot let global powers do the same in 2025. @SrebrenicaUK…
Environmental justice isn’t a slogan, it’s a huge shared responsibility Delighted to join the launch of the Bees & Polinators All Party Parlimentary Group Also, great to catch up with the incredible Leic Friends Of The Earth to talk bold, fair climate action!
