Today, I will be voting for the motion calling on the UK Govt to support a #CeasefireNow in Gaza. With 11,000+ Gazans killed, supporting a full & immediate ceasefire is the very least we can do. In order to be free to do so, I have stepped down as Shadow Minister for Exports 👇

An honour to host @RestlessBeings in Parliament for the launch of their groundbreaking report on Israeli war crimes in Gaza. The report calls for an arms embargo on Israel, a matter I raised in Parliament to the Deputy Foreign Secretary last week.

This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek , I’m supporting @mentalhealth to get everyone moving more for their mental health. Going for a walk, putting on your favourite music and dancing around the living room, chair exercises when you’re watching television, it all counts! 💚

The UK must do everything it can to support Palestinians fleeing danger so that they may reach their loved ones safely. I'm urging the Government to instate a family visa scheme for Palestinians immediately. 👇

I was very pleased to have seen the work that @NNOffTheStreets are doing in tackling knife crime through amnesty bins and bleed kits. I support their work in ensuring that young people are trained in how to use these bleed kits and better protect our communities.

It is a disgrace that the Government is still failing to reunite families separated during the evacuation in Afghanistan. I along with MPs and Peers have written to the legal migration minister @VotePursglove to call on the Home Office to act swiftly.

Today we remember John Smith who died thirty years ago. I remember being with him the night before he died when he ended his speech with "all we ask is the opportunity to serve." John's whole life was a testimony to the nobility of public service.

The Tories can't be trusted with the economy or protecting the environment. Only Labour has a credible plan for a cleaner, more prosperous Britain. Read my thoughts on Labour's climate commitments in @TheHouseMag 👇

At the weekend, I dropped in at a wonderful Eid Party hosted at Longsight library by Rehana from Dare To Be Different, a parent-led group that aims to remove cultural barriers to support carers of children with additional needs. It was an honour to join in the celebrations!

Time is running out for the people of Gaza as Israel prepares to invade Rafah, ignoring repeated warnings from it's allies and the ICJ. The Government must act with urgency and impose an arms embargo on Israel to prevent the risk of genocide immediately.

On Saturday, it was great to stop by the Green Walk Open House weekend in Whalley Range. It's a fantastic community event, and as it was sunny I even treated myself to ice cream 🍦

The launch of the @APPGMigration and @APPGPoverty 's report on migration and poverty exposed the abhorrent system that is ostracising the most vulnerable in our society. We have a duty to refugees, asylum seekers and migrants to create a better and fairer system.

I am horrified by the scenes coming out of Rafah. This unnecessary eacalation risks the lives of 1.5 million Gazans. The UK Govt must condemn Netanyahu's actions in the strongest possible terms and suspend arms sales immediately.

An offensive in Rafah must not go ahead - the people there have nowhere else to go. Kerem Shalom must be open for aid to get in. I repeat calls for an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of hostages, and unimpeded aid to Gaza.
