People want change. They deserve a fresh start.

That’s why people in West Mids are voting for Richard tmw.🌹

A huge thank you to our wonderful MPs Sarah Owen MP Rachel Hopkins MP for hosting a group of Politics students at The Houses of Parliament in sunny London yesterday. Our students were very grateful for the opportunity & have come back energised to make a difference! Thank you both ❤️

Great to welcome Luton Sixth Form College students to Parliament today.

We had a lot of interesting discussions on using your voice to fight for what you believe in and hope for positive change in the UK and across the world. A shining example of the fabulous young people in our town!

💜 WE WON! 💜

Thanks to a UNISON - UK's largest union backed campaign, our critical front line Healthcare Assistants have won a pay rise to Band 3 with FIVE YEARS of back pay to April 2019! ✊️

Now it's time to #PayFairforPatientCare across the UK and Northern Ireland!

It's polling day this week! Don't forget to vote on Thursday to send the Tories the message that Bedfordshire deserves a dedicated Police and Crime Commissioner.

Bring ID and #VoteLabour John Tizard 🌹

Lovely to be out in Northwell with Sarah Owen MP, and councillors Rob Roche and Babatunde Ajisola. And great to join Cllr Maria Lovell in Leagrave!

There's just 5 days until the Bedfordshire PCC election on Thursday 2 May. #VoteLabour for John Tizard!🌹

Loving SaturdayKitchen’s HOMage to this food & cultural legend.

He was one of few ESEA faces on our screens when we were growing up.

Don’t know if you can tell, but I was super excited meeting him a couple of years ago 🫶 just as lovely in real life, as on screen.

A full day in Parliament and then straight on the doorsteps in Beech Hill this afternoon with John Tizard - Labour’s candidate for Police & Crime Commissioner.

He has a positive plan for policing in our county and will treat residents with the respect they deserve. #Luton

And that’s a wrap!

Thank you to everyone who attended today’s Afternoon Tea Event.

Today we raised awareness of the Curry Kitchen and the importance of it in our town.

Did you know £1.80 provides 1 person with a hot meal weekly

Bedfordshire needs a PCC that will work with them with integrity- it's the least we deserve to start to fix policing in our county.

The Tory Commissioner has failed to keep our streets safe and be accountable to the public.

Labour's John Tizard will deliver the change we need.

Pleasure to welcome a visiting Parliamentary delegation from Malaysia to Westminster today with my colleague Sarah Owen MP .

Malaysia is a valued part of our Commonwealth family and working together key part of Labour's commitment to reconnect with our allies and partners 🇲🇾🇬🇧

Please do read Sarah Owen MP’s wonderful piece reacting to our report on hate crime faced by ESEA communities 👇🏻

“Renewed focus must be directed towards building trust within communities, confronting hate head-on and making streets safer for everyone.”

Yesterday I hosted the launch of @IBVPrev's sobering but crucial new report on hate crime against the East and Southeast Asian community.

We need a hate crime strategy with tried and tested models of support. Read my article in today's Guardian 👇
