Every year, Muslim communities across the UK open their doors to people of all faiths and none on Visit My Mosque Day.

Pleasure to join mosques across Leicester South & take part in conversations that strengthen understanding and unity.

Let’s keep building bridges, not walls.

Our young people are our future.
And they deserve every chance to succeed.

Thrilled that Pedestrian has secured £10,000 for their “Big Build”: an accessibility-friendly, creative space where young people can thrive!

I will keep standing up in Parliament for the funding & spaces our youth deserve.

A Labour gov't may have “recognised” Palestine, but still:

- Fuels Israel’s genocidal assault with record high arms exports.

- Enables UK millitary co-operation at RAF Akrotiri

- Refuses to impose wide spread sanctions

- Can't even call it what it is: Genocide.

Wonderful to celebrate 70 years of Leicester Quaker Meeting House - a true community treasure in our city on Queens Road. Great to hear stories & memories across decades!

Nothing beats a good book!

Great meeting Ella, Emma, and Sanjee from Sweet Cherry Publishing to discuss their magical work making books more accessible - because no one’s ability should limit the joy of reading.

Looking forward to championing SEND and accessibility in Parliament and beyond.

Not the activists, not the flotilla - the real terrorists are the ones orchestrating genocide on Gaza.

Horrified and appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsal on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar

My thoughts are with the community and the loved ones of all those affected. Greatful for the emergency services and all the first responders.

Took a trip down memory lane to my old school, Crown Hills!

Loved speaking at their assembly in support of the Send My Friend to School campaign.

Always a pleasure to support Leicester’s incredible students - just can’t promise to grant their wish for a 4-day school week 😂

#NationalEyeHealthWeek is a reminder: we can’t afford to lose sight of the importance of eye care.

Proud to serve as both an Optometrist and an MP - fighting to keep eye health and primary care high on Parliament’s agenda, so no patient should ever be left behind.

Drones have savaged the Global Sumud Flotilla en route to Gaza carrying life-saving aid.

Where is our gov't as a UK-flagged vessel with British citizens is bombarded in international waters?

Labour’s deadly inaction is complicit in Israel’s siege, man-made famine & genocide.

So special to join the Dedication & Thanksgiving Service, celebrating the @leicester_cathedral restoration and new Heritage & Learning Centre.

Such an incredible culmination of 20 years of work championing faith, heritage, and community.

Classic flip-flop Keir.

A man who stands for nothing, falls for everything.
