Labour is totally committed to 2.5% of GDP on defence.

When Labour was last in Government, we were spending 2.5% of GDP on defence. A level that’s never been matched in the 14 Tory years since.

The bravery of those who gave their lives to protect our freedom will never be forgotten.

On #VEDay , we remember them.

Last week’s local elections in Hitchin confirmed the choice facing voters at the general election, change with Labour or 5 more years of more of the same.

I’ll be working hard to earn the trust of our towns and villages that it’s time for change👇

With more than a million Palestinian civilians sheltering in Rafah, an Israeli offensive must not go ahead.

There must be an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages, and unimpeded aid into Gaza that can be delivered regularly, quickly and safely.

An Israeli offensive in Rafah would be catastrophic. It must not go ahead.

We need an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of hostages, and immediate unimpeded aid to Gaza.

Cheers to a pretty good few days! 🍻

Fantastic turnout in the sunshine for #helpfornahani charity match between Samuel Whitbread and Ampthill Rugby!

Very well done to everyone involved in organising such a great game for a great cause 👏

The sun is shining for All Saints Church’s Garden show in Stondon today 🌞

On till 4pm so plenty of time to check out the stalls and hear some great music from the Clifton Ukulele players!

Being a Villa fan summed up.

Rain certainly isn’t dampening spirits at Woodlandbury festival this today- a great event to celebrate Woodland Middle School turning 50! 🥳

Live music, great food and festivities on until 10pm tonight, well worth getting along to!

A huge congratulations to John Tizard - our new Labour Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire! Another Labour GAIN.

John was a hero from day 1 in Mid Beds and I am so excited to see him deliver for communities across Beds as our PCC!

Labour GAIN Bedfordshire Police and Crime Commissioner from the Conservatives - congratulations to John Tizard 🌹

Couldn’t be prouder to see John Tizard elected as our next police and crime commissioner for Bedfordshire!

Bedfordshire couldn’t hope for a more committed commissioner dedicated to putting the people of the county first.

x2 Labour gains in Great Ashby! 🌹

Great to welcome Vijaiya P Labour & Co-Op Candidate for Great Ashby and Laura 🌹🇪🇺 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 to the club of those who’ve taken on the bar charts and won! 📊

Couldn’t think of two better champions for their local community 👏

First at the polling station this morning to cast our votes for John Tizard 🗳️

Bedfordshire needs a PCC focused on delivering the neighbourhood policing our towns and villages need, and that’s what they’ll get with John. 🌹

While the Government’s decision to finally invest in childcare is welcome, it’s clear from speaking to providers and families that the scheme just isn’t working to deliver sufficient access to affordable childcare locally.

Unfortunately, Ministers just aren’t listening 👇

If you care about the NHS, the right thing to do is vote Labour says Dr Dan Poulter, former Tory MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich.

It is beyond disappointing that ministers are delaying a decision on funding for UNRWA.

The UK is one of the few major donors not to have resumed funding. UNRWA is critical for the aid operation in dire conditions.

The UK should show leadership on this. We need a decision now.

In 2018 a severe concussion kept me out of work for months, leaving me depressed and anxious whether I’d fully recover.

Luckily I was able to access support, but thousands currently can’t.

If the Govt is serious about supporting people into work, that’s what they’d focus on 👇

Am glad the MoD has listened and rescinded its 3m notice eviction notices for those in accommodation at RAF Henlow after my interventions.

Where commitments are made to tenants, they have to be kept to 👇
