All being well, I’m really pleased to say that my family and I will be welcoming our second little boy in the late summer. It’s going to be quite the year!

On Sunday morning on behalf of @FairtradeHxUK , I presented Clive with a very special award in his wife Kay’s memory, thanking him of all he has continued to do since she passed away. They both worked so hard to champion #Fairtrade and we wouldn’t be a Fairtrade town without them.

Followed by paying tribute to Halifax @TrustCivic , and our magnificent @ThePieceHall , pushing Ministers on developers who buy up heritage buildings + sit on them without investing or releasing them. I know Labour has ideas to tackle this, looking forward to seeing them in action!

In my final contributions in the Commons last week I raised the harrowing + utterly unacceptable harassment experienced by some of those in senior leadership roles in the #EmergencyServices , women Chief Fire Officers in particular. I had urged the Minister to put a stop to it:

It was a privilege to see @FigenMurray + all the team who have worked so hard to make #MartynsLaw a reality on Wednesday. We were all reassured by her conversation with the PM but what followed made absolutely no sense. @DianaJohnsonMP right to raise it.

(1/2) @FigenMurray , the mother of Martyn Hett murdered in the Manchester Arena terror attack, walked 200 miles to meet with the Prime Minister on the 7th anniversary of the terror atrocity. The PM promised Figen he would introduce Martyn's Law before the summer recess.

Well spotted. It’s not usual to find me and @jessphillips hugging around Parliament but she was holding me together on that occasion. She is the most incredible friend, person and MP ❤️

@HollyLynch5 When you and Jesse Phillips were hugging each other I was wondering if something was up (BBC Parliament) wishing the best of luck and health for you and your family going forward

Kevan was the perfect example of how to do it. I will always be grateful for his insight and expertise on defence/security whilst I was the Shadow Security Minister in particular. From his work on Horizon, to his campaign to get me to drink less Diet Coke, I will miss him dearly.

I commend @WestYorksPolice recently making 62 County Lines arrests, taking weapons/drugs off the streets. I would be appalled if this type of operation ‘where large numbers of arrests may take place’ was paused in order to ‘ease the pressure within the criminal justice system.’

This is indefensible. Law and Order has been decimated under this Government. And to make the Police Chiefs Council write to forces was cowardly, that instruction should have come directly from Ministers. Shameful

The UK’s standing on the Rules Based International Order and Humanitarian Law is damaged every time this Government undermines the ICJ and now the ICC over Israel/Gaza. My question in yesterday’s statement:

In #DementiaActionWeek I had the chance to pay tribute to the local heroes who go over and above to provide support groups for those living with Dementia and their carers across #Calderdale . Chris + June Harvey, Shabir Hussain, Julie Hayden and Neil Taylor all deserve medals 👏🏻👏🏻

Currently, only 2/3 people with dementia get a diagnosis, that is not good enough. Thank you @HollyLynch5 for learning more about the importance of diagnosis and pledging to make dementia a priority #DementiaActionWeek
