Amazing to celebrate the opening of the Charles Palmer suite with Leicestershire County Cricket Club!

Cricket brings communities together and is loved by so many people across Leicester and beyond.

I’ll continue working in Parliament to make sure the game gets the support and funding it deserves.

Wonderful supporting the new Highfields Street Foodbank!

So grateful for the volunteers and donors who make it possible.

Community support matters, but the bigger challenge is clear: tackling the root causes of poverty and inequality.

That's my priority in Parliament.

Wonderful seeing bright minds exploring opportunities and dreaming big at Scholar School Systems careers fair.

I'll continue pressing the government for better access and opportunities, opening more doors for everyone in Leicester and beyond.

Thrilled to join 100% Optical at ExCeL London

Amazing opportunity to learn from international experts and explore the latest innovations in optical care

With my Glaucoma Bill progressing in Parliament, I’ll be amplifying these conversations to drive real action for patients

This is what community power looks like!

Thanks to the passion of local campaigners, Β£2 million funding has been secured.

We'll continue working hard to ensure our playgrounds get long-term stability so they can not just survive, but truly thrive.

The old two-party comfort zone is over.

Voters are done with political cowardice & moral compromise.

We are not protest candidates. We are the future of accountable, community-rooted politics.

Labour promised integrity.

But Β£730,000 now sits undeclared and Β£36,000 goes on smearing journalists.

The moral high ground came with an expiration date: the day they entered No.10

The country deserves better than recycled hypocrisy.

Radiotherapy saves lives every single day, yet too many patients face delays and outdated equipment.

We must invest, modernise and deliver for patients, including training and recruiting more consultant radiographers to meet growing demand.

It’s time to #CatchUpWithCancer

Great to join the celebrations marking 25 years of β€œSend My Friend to School”!

Their advocacy proves change is possible, transforming access to education for countless children worldwide.

Proud that schools in Leicester South have been part of this incredible campaign.

It was humbling to join volunteers at One Roof in setting up the Winter Shelter: offering Leicester's homeless a safe bed, a hot meal & a second chance.

Charities are stepping up. The government must step up too.

Fund prevention. Fund housing. And work to end rough sleeping for good.

Government schemes and contracts must give opportunities for local businesses.

They are the lifeblood of our economies, especially in Leicester.

The new Warm Homes Plan must lift everyone, not just the big boys.

Wonderful to celebrate Leic Print Workshop's 40th year milestone in the heart of Leicester’s Cultural Quarter.

It was pure magic watching century-old presses still turning & our talented creative community thriving.

Multi million pound contracts are repeatedly awarded to Serco, who are failing our judicial system with delayed prisoner transportation.

I asked the Minister plainly: why?

Their answer was to open more bus lanes. Hardly reassuring.

Jesse Jackson led for the many without a voice and dedicated his life to justice and equality.

Any change that turns student loans into a lifetime financial trap must be opposed.

Graduates deserve a system that’s fair, not one that stifles ambition and crushes social mobility.

We don’t want ICE in the UK.

Leicester’s policing data is not Palantir’s to harvest.

These are our communities. Our families. Our lives.
Not commodities.

The public has a right to know who is watching. And why.

Some of the best childhood memories are made during a game of grassroots footie.

Rain or shine, young people should be running, playing and thriving.

We need more indoor sports facilities so long winter months don’t stop the fun.

Nothing like finishing a long week in Parliament with a kick about in St Matthew’s.

Always great to see the young people getting involved - even if they definitely have the pace on me πŸ˜…

Khaleed Oladipo was more than a name in a headline. He was a son, a friend & a future full of promise.

His life was cruelly cut short and a family now carries unimaginable pain.

Our sympathy must be matched with decisive action that delivers real prevention & change to tackle knife crime.

How shameful to weaponise a tragedy. 
And then attack our city for the sake of headline-grabbing.

Leicester’s true story is written every day by its people, not by fear-mongering narratives.

It is a story of culture, respect & unity with communities showing up for each other in tough times and challenges.

Like many, I am proud to call this city home, and I will always stand up for it.

In reference to a headline that reads:

"Leicester is no multicultural success - it is a strark warning to the rest of Britain" with an image of police tape after a student was tragically stabbed to death.

Journalists – dead
Aid workers – dead
Children – dead

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, and too often it’s found too late.

I'm standing with Prostate Cancer Research & joining cross party calls for a mandatory screening programme. No one should miss out on early detection.

Disgusted by comments on GB News suggesting a so called β€œreligious motivation” for serious crimes, singling out Muslims and Islam.
