🎄Wishing you a Merry Christmas.
Grateful to all at work, inc. our armed forces and emergency services.
Christmas can be hard for some (won’t be our easiest one, losing Mum). Thinking of all for whom that’s true.
Hope you have a good & gentle day, with love, community, memories & hope around you 🎄

🌲 Over Christmas, many of us will be looking forward to getting out for a good walk in nature.
Yesterday in Parliament, I asked Nature Minister, Mary Creagh, about our Labour Govt’s plans for The Western Forest - the first national forest in 30 years - making this even easier for many in future.

🚆 Proud to vote to create Great British Railways!
Labour’s bringing railways into public ownership. Our Railways Bill will mean:

✅ 21st Century ticketing
✅ New powerful passenger voice
✅ Frozen fares
🇬🇧 New branding soon!
More steps ahead in Parliament but the journey is underway 🚆

📮 Thanks to the Patchway Delivery Office team for their hard work this busy Christmas.
They’re up against it here. Vacancies + 24/48hr parcel volume = 2nd Class letters taking longer to deliver.
Useful to talk with posties, CWU & local managers.
✍🏼 I’ve written to Royal Mail.
