Rainham once had three pharmacies. With the problems at Jhoots we barely have one.

📱If you would like to share your concerns and experiences about pharmacy provision, you can access my quick survey here: naushabahkhan.com/rainham-pharma…www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...mp

Rainham left without pharmacy after Jhoots closure - BBC News

Rainham now does not have a local pharmacy after Jhoots Pharmacy's closure in August.

Good morning spent speaking to residents across Gillingham and Rainham

Naushabah Khan MP @naushabahkhanmp.bsky.social · 14d

🌹Great to visit and speak to so many organisations, businesses & charities; as well as speak on panels at Labour Party Conference this year

✅I discussed with different groups how their services could benefit & support our communities in Gillingham & Rainham.

This week I've been:

📢Requesting action on the growing number of HMOs locally
✅Voting through the Employment Rights Bill
🇬🇧Backing our Armed Forces at the Defence Academy, Shrivenham
👋🏾Holding multiple surgeries to tackle local issues

Naushabah Khan MP @naushabahkhanmp.bsky.social · Sep 16

‼️Gillingham is being overrun by HMOs... & this is why

It's shocking to see the town advertised as prime real estate for developers who want to cash in on "minimal licensing complexities"

The unrestricted development of HMOs is damaging our communities. I want to change this

Naushabah Khan MP @naushabahkhanmp.bsky.social · Sep 16

🇵🇸Yesterday, alongside other Labour MPs, I met with Palestinian Ambassador Husam Zomlot

The slaughter of innocent civilians must stop now

Talking with Husam & working with other international partners reinforces the need to secure an immediate and permanent ceasefire & recognise a Palestinian state

🏥Following my ongoing discussions with local health stakeholders, it was good to meet with the Secretary of State for Health @wesstreeting to discuss challenges with GP recruitment and retention in Gillingham and Rainham.

Naushabah Khan MP @naushabahkhanmp.bsky.social · Sep 3

🇬🇧It was great to launch Labour Tech's policy paper yesterday, focusing on protecting Britain's homegrown defence tech sector, as inaction puts our national security and economic growth at risk.

“If it is the choice between a politics of action, collaboration and community, or the politics of division, I choose the former every time. Gillingham and Rainham deserves that, and so does Britain”

❗️The rate and scale of HMO conversions in Gillingham have reached an unsustainable level and are now negatively impacting our local community.

Cllr Prenter and I are determined to change this. Please read our statement in full.

Alongside over 200 other MPs I’ve signed this joint letter to the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary, urging them to recognise a state of Palestine.

"There is so much to be proud of here... and I want to ensure that Love Gillingham is not just about an annual event but a reality of living here"

🇬🇧Last week, I visited the First Fusiliers in Salisbury.

👉🏾It was important to understand first-hand how we are modernising our warfare and adapting our training to respond to the growing possibility of conflict and increasing foreign threats.

Naushabah Khan MP @naushabahkhanmp.bsky.social · Jul 21

🎉After months of planning, and lots of hard work behind the scenes, it was brilliant to take part in the #LoveGillinghamBigDayOut2025
