I had the honour to kick off #ArmedForcesWeek with Keir Starmer and @rach_hopkins at the @HouseofCommons to hear about Labour’s commitment to our Armed Forces.
TY to @labourforces for the invite.
It's clear Labour has big plans for our Armed Forces and #Veterans. – at City of London, London

Proud to show my support for @WhiteRibbon_UK Day, to stand side by side with women to stop #VAWG.

If you find yourself in a dangerous situation in a taxi:
1. Call 999 if you feel threatened
3. If the taxi stops, make sure you know how to unlock the doors and leave
4. If you’re unable to leave, shout for help or use your phone’s emergency features to make noise
Very proud moment for myself, Plymouth and Labour, especially when several community assets in the ward I represent with my co-Cllr @AliSimpson24, were highlighted for their fantastic work.
It's so great to see them acknowledged on this scale. 🙌

Yesterday, I delivered my Maiden Speech in Parliament.
I started by talking about community power and the fantastic work of our local community groups to drive change and build hope.
I want to use my position as your MP to empower our community to affect change and generate hope that life will get better.

As someone who served on RFA Limebay and Mounts Bay. I've been impressed by the commitment and hard work by the crews.
Often overlooked when talking about maritime operations and capabilities. But, they are a vital cog in the nations maritime successes. 👏

I have to admit I went for seconds at Afro plate. 😋
The food was amazing 👏 music on point adding to the atmosphere. It's just a great vibe at the Bizaar of laughter and vibrancy ❤️
A great addition and more to love in #Plymouth.
Chilled afternoon @theboxplymouth Bazaar with @DBI_UK. Lovely to see so many people there and the lamb curry from Elsie's Habesha Cuisine was delicious as usual. The next one is on 28 September - put the date in your diary if you haven't been yet! Bumped into @KevinSproston too

🇺🇦 Today I asked the Prime Minister to confirm that the UK will remain the firmest of friends to Ukraine against Putin's illegal invasion.
As Russia turns to increasingly barbaric tactics, @Keir_Starmer made clear that there will be no change in the UK's commitment to Ukraine.

The Cenotaph is special for all of us!
“The act of vandalism is abhorrent. No matter what is happening in the world, the Cenotaph must be respected. It stands in memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the freedoms we enjoy today.”
