The actions of Israel in Gaza have led to a humanitarian crisis that has had an unprecedented impact on the Palestinian people. It is right that the UK government stands up for justice and peace. 🌹
This afternoon the UK Government, along with the Governments of Canada and Australia, have taken the decision to recognise a Palestinian state. 1/2
Ninety-seven years today since women won the vote on equal terms with men.
Today there are 263 women MPs in Parliament - including all three Deputy Speakers.
This morning, Centenary Action organised a commemorative photo, with sashes by Re:make Newport.
Today, Bradford remembered the Bradford Pals battalions - the friends and neighbours who signed up to fight alongside one another in the Great War.
109 years ago today, some 1770 Pals were killed or injured on the first day of the horrific Battle of the Somme.
We will remember.
The fall in waiting lists in Bradford and across Yorkshire is an important first step on the NHS’s road to recovery.
We all deserve an NHS that is fit for the future, so that patients get treatment quickly when needed.

Operation Steerside is a valuable tool in tackling dangerous driving. This is important work which I have been proud to support since it was set up. I have had assurances that Steerside will continue to have a positive impact in Bradford South.

After successfully securing SBSJ bus services for another year, we kicked off the campaign to make sure a permanent solution is found so students can keep getting to school safely and on time.
How wonderful to welcome pupils from St Oswald's Primary to Parliament this week, to learn all about the role of MPs and my role as Commons Deputy Speaker.
It's always a welcome treat to welcome Bradford South schools to Westminster!
Happy St Patrick's Day to everyone in our communities celebrating today! Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh!
Good to be out this afternoon in Mountain, Queensbury speaking to residents.
Thanks to everyone who spoke to me and the team!
Out with the team recently in Holme Wood, chatting with residents and hearing views.
Thanks to everyone who spoke to me and the Bradford South team!
Congratulations to the incredible students from Appleton Academy who had some of their poetry exhibited on display in the House of Commons!
The inspiring poems reflected on young people's concerns about climate change and their vision for the future.
Congratulations!
175 dangerous driving offences tackled in Bradford South last month thanks to targeted police work via Operation Steerside!
A huge thanks to Insp Beecroft and the team at West Yorkshire Polive, working together to keep our streets safe.
It was fantastic to catch up with Brake, the road safety charity.
I have long championed improving road safety, and it was great to talk about their work to make our roads safer for driver, passengers and pedestrians.
This is a positive first step.
I applaud the good sense shown by this decision, but a permanent solution to keep these buses going must still be found.
I'll continue working with everyone to make sure students can get to school safely and on time.
