My week in Westminster: 🔑 Got the keys to my Parliamentary office - the team & I can more easily work for you ✅ Voted for GB Energy, publicly owned railways, and responsible budgets 🧑‍🤝‍🧑Met great campaigners from BASHH, Zero Malaria, UNICEF UK, UNISON - UK's largest union & more.

It was great to meet with new MPs last week to discuss how UK leadership can support multilateral partnerships. Organisations such as The Global Fund and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance are vital to saving lives, improve gender equality, & unlocking economic opportunity! 🇬🇧🌍

I met Dr Sania Nishtar to reaffirm our commitment to @Gavi and global vaccine access #ForOurFuture. As one of its largest donors, the UK has helped Gavi vaccinate over 1 billion children. Our partnership is also vital to tackling mpox, supporting the vaccine rollout in Africa.

“Despite malaria becoming an increasingly mercurial foe, the global science community, with the UK at its heart, is well-placed to re-invigorate the fight to end malaria in our lifetimes”, writes Astrid Bonfield of Malaria No More UK politics.co.uk/comment/2024/0…
