Thanks to Brian Moore & Bels Premiership Women's Rugby I watched the most incredible women’s rugby today.

The journey of women’s rugby continues to grow, it’s incredible, I love it ❤️🏉💪

Bring on the World Cup 2025.

To those that have worn the shirt for their country, this is for you…

My colleague and friend Karin Smyth MP always serves and represents the people of Bristol South with skill and dedication. Typically generous to use this as opportunity to share vital info to help others. Much love Karin, always here for you xx

Great to meet with Hélène Duchêne the French Ambassador yesterday whilst she was visiting Bristol. As well as culture, media and sport - so much to discuss! - we talked about post-Brexit challenges esp for EU people who have made lives here. Much work to do together!

Not long to go! Made protein rich flapjacks to fuel me round the TCS London Marathon tomorrow. Now to finalise the playlist! A day for music, atmosphere and running. Please donate to BristolRefugeeRights via: 2024tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/thangam-deb…

The FA Cup's tradition, history and prestige is unmatched. Much of its magic is held in replays, it's disappointing that they've been scrapped.

All leagues, clubs and fans should be properly consulted on the big decisions.

I want to see the heritage of the FA Cup protected.

A Labour government working in partnership with Bristol Labour Group to build the sustainable houses the people in our city deserve is exactly what we need.

Leadership. Decisive action. Deliverable plans.

The only party in Bristol which demonstrates all three.

#VoteLabour

Enjoyed meeting Hussain. Exciting to hear their ambitious plans for growth, how they’re championing our great women’s team and engaging with fans.

As Sports Secretary in a Labour government, I'll support clubs like Rovers to grow sustainably and give fans a greater say.

I attended #TheBigPlasticCount 's youth empowerment event yesterday. It was a joy to listen to young people speak passionately about the need for a Global Plastics Treaty. I have always supported action to tackle plastic pollution & single-use plastics and will continue doing so.

Liz Truss crashed the economy. She sent Bristollian's mortgages and rents sky-high and now she wants us to buy her book? Has she no shame?

Whether it's Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak or any other of these self-serving Tory Prime Ministers, it's time we cleared the lot out! #VoteLabour

It seems the Govt read my open letter to fans in the Mirror on Monday and have finally pulled the Football Governance Bill out from down the back of the sofa.

I'm continuing to discuss it with fans, clubs, leagues and others. Let me know your views ...

If Labour wins the election we will provide mental health support in every school in Bristol.

Fully costed, fully funded, deliverable.

A vote for any other party in Bristol Central is a vote for five more years of the Tories continuing to ignore the mental health crisis.

Great to meet with with some of Bristol's phenomenal emergency care assistants in Parliament. Against the odds they continue to deliver for patients in our city.

As always, you have my gratitude and support.

This morning is Culture, Media and Sport Oral Parliamentary Questions. While I've got a list as long as my arm, I only get two. Tune in at 9.30 to see this shambles of a government held to account #GeneralElectionNow

I gave Rishi Sunak three chances to rule out cuts to the NHS, cuts to the state pension, or tax rises to pay for his Liz Truss style £46 billion unfunded tax cut.

Each time, he refused.

I’ve explained how Labour will fully fund all our plans. Rishi Sunak can’t do the same.

4 days to go!
