Well done Labour!

The landmark Tobacco & Vapes Bill passed its 3rd reading in the Lords last night.

The bill marks a major shift in public health.

On #InternationalWomensDay we celebrate women. Paths they tread and their achievements. Little girl me never imagined i’d one day sit in Parliament, standing up for women & girls. But I am, thanks to generations of other women who fought, spoke up, & refused to accept things couldn’t change.

Thank you to those who help, women and men.
