Today is #WorldAIDSDay, in which we highlight the fight against the disease and remember those who have died from it.
The WHO is committed to its goal of ending AIDS by 2030. We must remain at the forefront of global efforts to reduce infections and ultimately eradicate it.

Great that govt will review the cases of 1000's of unpaid carers left in debt by confusing guidance on Carer's Allowance since 2015
This despite the vital work unpaid carers do, saving the UK economy £184 billion per year.

I'm extremely proud that this Labour government has scrapped the 2-child benefit cap, lifting 450,000 children out of poverty, including 1,350 here in #WorthingWest.
It will also help relieve the huge pressure on local foodbanks like our own amazing #WorthingFoodFoundation.

@AlexBallingerMP and I have been campaigning for changes to gambling tax for many months.
And so we’re delighted that the Budget will see an extra £1.1 billion raised from gambling duties by 2029-30 – with remote gaming duty to rise from 21 to 40 per cent in April💚

Both as an MP and a former Leader of Worthing Borough Council, I am only too aware of the extreme financial pressures faced by local government💯
I’m campaigning hard to make sure Worthing finally gets the funding we deserve.

On a visit to Number 11 last night I made my case for gambling tax reform with Rachel - starting with online gambling which has highest evidence of associated harms.
Fingers crossed for good news on this next week 🤞

Banning plastic wet wipes is a major step forward in protecting our rivers, beaches and wildlife🌊
11 billion wet wipes are used every year - so it's great to see the government taking action✅

I was glad to be with #UnitedAgainstMalnutritionAndHunger where @LordOates and @Liam Byrne MP spoke powerfully on the doom cycle of debt and malnutrition.
The UK must continue to be a voice for a more just world where everyone has the chance to thrive🌍

The recent coroner’s verdict on the death of Lee Adams lists gambling disorder as a medical cause of death, further underlining the link between gambling and suicide.
My thoughts are with Lee’s family, who have shown huge courage in seeking answers.
