Government states its number one priority is #EconomicGrowth and #infrastructure projects are integral to that.
Government must finally build the Western Rail Link to Heathrow - connecting 20% of #UK population to within one interchange of nation’s main port.

In these uncertain times, crucial that our legislation, like the #NationalSecurity Act and Official Secrets Act, is fit for purpose and makes the #UK more #secure.
We must not let those who wish to harm us and our freedoms escape #justice and #accountability.

#Parliament for 2 years was shockingly kept in the dark by super-injunction seeking to stop exposure of #Afghan #DataLeak.
Goes against #transparency and #FreeSpeech, but thanks to grit of good #journalists, our Defence Select Committee can now help expose truth.

Collapse of cases like the recent #China #espionage case should not be allowed to happen again.
At our Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy hearing, I probed the comprehensiveness of the National Security Act and its ability to help keep us secure.

Proud to be part of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the #ArmedForces, discussing this time about fairer regulations relating to #military compensation.
Those who sacrifice so much for us should be strongly supported.

I’m determined to deliver for children so they have a better start in life.
On top of other childcare packages, brilliant that Labour government is launching Best Start Family Hubs, with £137,585 allocated to Slough for the opening of a centre by April.

#Afghan Solidarity Campaign believe there have been political motivations behind Government behaviour on the Afghan #DataLeak, rather than protecting people.
Imperative that government decision making is always held to the highest levels of scrutiny, such as by the Defence Committee.

The impact of the #Afghan data breach and super-injunction has been far reaching - affecting countless lives.
We owe it to them to get answers, #transparency and hold those involved accountable.

#Renters' Rights Act will usher in biggest strengthening of rights in decades, ensuring millions are protected from discrimination, no-fault evictions and extortionate up-front deposits.
Fair deal for both #tenants and #landlords—that’s the difference a #Labour government makes.

Shocking that a super-injunction kept us all in the dark for 2 years, but I commend #journalists for their perseverance and pursuit of transparency, fighting to make public the truth.

For #remembrance, vital that the sacrifices of all from around the globe are commemorated.
Great to host a special #memorial event for two inspirational #WorldWarTwo #veterans whom I had the honour of knowing — Havildar-Major Rajindar Singh Dhatt and Daffadar Mohammed Hussain.

Speaking at the #Women in Defence All-Party Parliamentary Group event, alongside @sarahdykeld.bsky.social and Minister Vernon Coaker, I spoke of the discrimination still being faced by #defence women and how we need to harness full potential of all in society to deliver national security.

Honour to cut the ribbon✂️🎀 to officially open Langley Heritage nursery.
Glad they secured funding from the Labour government’s new in-school nursery scheme and will help local families access quality childcare—so parents can work, study or pursue other opportunities.
