I’m a huge believer in the potential of our young people.
I’m working hard to turn that potential into real opportunities, so every young person has the chance to dream big and succeed.

My heart goes out to Khaleed Oladipo, his loved ones and everyone affected by this heartbreaking loss.
His family described him as an ‘extremely loved son, brother, uncle, boyfriend and friend.’
A life taken far too soon.

Decades of progress show integration thrives on decency, respect and contribution. Not contempt.
Despite challenges, I'm a proud product of that: support and opportunity allowed millions of families like mine to contribute and flourish.
We must not let that be torn apart.

When bowel cancer is found early, survival can be over 90%.

Knife crime is a national crisis.
I’m proud that DMU has become the UK’s first Safer Knife Campus through their work on round-tip knives.
This is a practical, evidence based step that can reduce harm and save lives, and I hope more institutions follow their lead.

This petition handover reflects the pain of families who have lost children to online harms.
Social media companies have a duty of care to every child & parent.
I’ve taken demands to Downing Street: the Online Safety Act must have real enforcement and consequences.

On Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the 6 million Jewish victims and all those persecuted by the Nazis.

In the US, ICE has killed, kidnapped and brutalised communities under the cover of “law enforcement.”
With visions of a “British FBI,” is Shabana Mahmood paving the road to Trump-style policing?
We must resist any Big Appa, Orwellian nightmares creeping into our country.

I’ve heard concerns about safety around New Walk in the heart of Leicester.
So I’m bringing together local people, Leicestershire Police, councillors and stakeholders for a safety forum to work together to tackle these issues head-on

Cllr Manjula Sood will always be remembered as a trailblazer and a true community champion.
I was lucky enough to know her first as Mrs Sood, my school teacher.
She taught far more than lessons; she taught kindness, love and care for others.

Teaching Assistants play a vital role in our schools.
Yet @UNISON found 59% say their teams are smaller than last year, meaning more pressure and less support for pupils.
I'll be fighting to ensure school support staff are valued, protected and properly funded.
