🌞 Great to be in Bramley Park for Breeze in the Park! Hundreds of local residents and families are enjoying the sun, stalls, games and inflatables. We were delighted to fund this again with our Leeds City Council Outer West Community Committee funding.

Tory cuts to our local budgets over the last 14 years have decimated SEND provision. They want us to forget what got us into this mess.
At Full Council, I spoke about West SILC’s fantastic post-16 provision and this Labour government's recent investments in SEND provision.

Following ours and local residents' representations to West Yorkshire Police, a Section 61 has now been agreed and the Travellers will be moved on from Bramley Falls sports pitches today.
Our next steps will be to review the damage on the site, arrange repairs and look into preventative measures.

Our community shouldn’t have to put up with rising crime or antisocial behaviour.
That’s why Labour’s Crime and Policing Bill will give police and communities power to take back our streets and tackle serious violence.

NEW: Today, the Labour government announces the first schools that will become the first to offer a new free breakfast club.
I'm pleased that Bramley St. Peter's Primary School will benefit from this initial rollout. This will ensure children are fed and parents can drop them off in time for work.

OWN GOAL: Tory leader, Kemi Badenoch has refused to support the government on introducing a football regulator.
As #LUFC fans, we know how important it is to prevent inappropriate owners taking charge of clubs for financial profit with no interest in improving the club.

Today, my thoughts are with the Jewish Community in Leeds and across the UK.
80 years since Auschwitz was liberated, we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and all victims of the Nazis.
We must stamp out antisemitism wherever it rears its ugly head.
