Enjoyed meeting Hussain. Exciting to hear their ambitious plans for growth, how they’re championing our great women’s team and engaging with fans.

As Sports Secretary in a Labour government, I'll support clubs like Rovers to grow sustainably and give fans a greater say.

I attended #TheBigPlasticCount 's youth empowerment event yesterday. It was a joy to listen to young people speak passionately about the need for a Global Plastics Treaty. I have always supported action to tackle plastic pollution & single-use plastics and will continue doing so.

Liz Truss crashed the economy. She sent Bristollian's mortgages and rents sky-high and now she wants us to buy her book? Has she no shame?

Whether it's Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak or any other of these self-serving Tory Prime Ministers, it's time we cleared the lot out! #VoteLabour

It seems the Govt read my open letter to fans in the Mirror on Monday and have finally pulled the Football Governance Bill out from down the back of the sofa.

I'm continuing to discuss it with fans, clubs, leagues and others. Let me know your views ...

If Labour wins the election we will provide mental health support in every school in Bristol.

Fully costed, fully funded, deliverable.

A vote for any other party in Bristol Central is a vote for five more years of the Tories continuing to ignore the mental health crisis.

Great to meet with with some of Bristol's phenomenal emergency care assistants in Parliament. Against the odds they continue to deliver for patients in our city.

As always, you have my gratitude and support.

This morning is Culture, Media and Sport Oral Parliamentary Questions. While I've got a list as long as my arm, I only get two. Tune in at 9.30 to see this shambles of a government held to account #GeneralElectionNow

I gave Rishi Sunak three chances to rule out cuts to the NHS, cuts to the state pension, or tax rises to pay for his Liz Truss style £46 billion unfunded tax cut.

Each time, he refused.

I’ve explained how Labour will fully fund all our plans. Rishi Sunak can’t do the same.

4 days to go!

After 14 years of Tory failure, you know our country needs change. You can see it everywhere you look.
 
I changed the Labour Party. Now, I’m ready to change the country. 
 
That starts with the local elections on Thursday 2 May.
 
Vote Labour to get Britain’s future back.

In March, I met with Thangam Debbonaire regarding the MoU between Ethiopia and Somaliland, which caused frustration among people and strained the relationship between Somalia and Ethiopia. As part of the Somali diaspora, we shared our concerns with Thangam, urging her to relay them to…

Great to see cross-party support for Gaelic tv, but if Labour’s ⁦Thangam Debbonaire⁩ initial amendments had been supported in the Commons we wouldn’t be fighting a rearguard in the Lords.

Children in care are in need of the most protection and this government is failing them. I've spent time in Bristol over many years with young people and adults who have lived through care and the scars of poor protection run deep. Thank you Helen Hayes 💙🌹 for highlighting 👇🏽
