Our plans will create and save vital routes and services.

NEW: Labour's plan for high streets:

✅ Revamp empty shops, pubs, and community spaces

I am utterly appalled and deeply disturbed by the Islamophobic comments and views uncovered by HOPE not hate and Jane Haynes.

This language is not only unacceptable but also dangerous, and it has no place in our community or society.

I wish everyone celebrating in Erdington, Kingstanding and Castle Vale a happy Eid al-fitr.

May this special time bring peace, happiness, and prosperity to you and your family.

Eid Mubarak! ✨🌙

The latest edition of @OptometryToday leads with a feature on my eye-care campaigning and National Eye Health Strategy Bill.

With an ongoing crisis in NHS eye care, we can’t afford to be complacent.

I spoke about how my work in Parliament can catalyse change & the…

In Gravelly Hill with Anita Ward supporting Paulette Hamilton MP. Lots of support from residents aware of the amazing work she does for people right across the Erdington Constituency. #LabourDoorStep

Mr Mayor has taken £2.2m in donations from the Conservatives, he's not whipped though! 🫣

He's spending it all on green leaflets. #TheGreatConservativeCoverup

Honoured to be named on the The Most Influential People of African Descent Under 40 list 2024.

For far too long, the Tories have underfunded our NHS, and now local people struggle to get GP and dental appointments.

The Labour Party will change this:
🧑‍⚕️ Extra 7,500 doctors & 10,000 nurses
🦷 700,000 new dental appointments
⏲ Shorter wait times & higher satisfaction

Highest NHS satisfaction levels ever recorded with Labour in 2010.

Lowest satisfaction levels ever with the Tories today.

The Tories have failed. It is time for change. 🌹

Yesterday, Victoria Atkins gave an update on the working of @DHSC and cancer services. Thank you Paulette Hamilton MP for highlighting that cancer waiting times in England continue to be missed.

Yesterday at Health and Social Care Committee cancer inquiry, I raised my concerns to the Health Secretary about the Govt’s failure to meet cancer diagnosis and treatment targets.

The cancer strategy must address these issues & should not simply be absorbed into the long-term conditions strategy.

I was unable to join #WASPI statement today as I was in Health Committee, questioning the Secretary of State.

I would have reaffirmed my absolute support for this campaign, to right the wrongs that continue to impact women in Erdington, Kingstanding, Castle Vale & across the UK.

Despite the Government’s commitment to end veteran homelessness, last year the figures show a 14% increase in the number of homeless veterans.

I asked the Minister what measures were being taken to prevent our veterans, and their families from facing homelessness?
