Today I have received confirmation that I am now Baroness Brown of Silvertown of West Ham in the London Borough of Newham.

I am deeply honoured and to be honest quite overwhelmed

I am delighted to see that after 15 years of campaigning for this and 14 years since former MPs Philip Davies and Sajid Javid talked out my Private Members Bill in 2011 that would have capped resale, that it is this Labour Government that is going to fix this broken resale market. 🎟️🌹

Following 14 years of Conservative inaction, the results of this consultation have shown what this Labour Government needs to do to fully support our live events sector and put fans first.

The Ticket Abuse APPG that I set up and Co-Chair, alongside fans, artists, athletes and venues, have long called for these common-sense measures to cap secondary ticketing and at long last put fans first! 🎟️🌹

Big shout-out to my friend @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social who’s campaigned on this for 15+ years to see it become actual policy: MP = massive persistence 👏🏻

It is also brilliant to hear that the programme will continue to be supported by @magicbreakfastuk.bsky.social, who have a wealth of experience and will be able to work with schools to support implementation of a breakfast club with nutritious and delicious food.

Breakfast clubs improve attendance, attainment, and ensure every child is nourished before starting their school day. This additional rollout extends these benefits to over 200,000 more underprivileged children in just over a year.

After continued pressure from myself and MPs supporting the All-Party Parliamentary Group on School Food, I am pleased to welcome the Government’s announcement that all of the universal primary breakfast clubs will receive an average funding uplift of 28% ensuring a range of healthy options.

Yet another win for the brilliant @sharonhodgsonmp. Her decade of work on this has paid off for hundreds of thousands of arts and sports enthusiasts.
I was delighted to speak to Richard Quest on @cnn.com about the Government's plans to cap ticket resales and put fans first.

The UK has a world-leading live events sector and fans deserve the right to pay a fair price, as is already the case in other countries that have legislated in this way. 1/2

I’ve a significant Caribbean diaspora who’ve made Gorton & Denton their home and I know many are concerned for friends & family after the terrible damage and deaths caused by Hurricane Melissa. I’m proud that UK Aid is ready to be distributed to Jamaica.

For ‘adverts’, see also: ‘hospitals’, ‘the Cabinet’, ‘kindergartens’, ‘the England football team’ and, of course, ‘the country’. The only way you can miss this is deliberately. And just watch them try.
