Today marks White Ribbon Day and the start of Tender's 16 days of activism against Gender-Based Violence.
Two of the most important steps we can take to end gender-based violence are:

2️⃣ Educating our children on healthy relationships

Yorkshire has so much to offer and I'm so proud to call it my home. I was born in Leeds and grew up in Sheffield - Leeds has the best city centre in the country.
I spoke to the Yorkshire Post about my favourite things about Yorkshire: https://loom.ly/YOmsi7c

Music fans and concert goers are being fleeced by being made to pay hugely over the odds to attend gigs and festivals.
I’m supporting a permanent price cap on ticket resales for all live music alongside Leeds act Nubiyan Twist and dozens of other artists.

Leeds Central and Headingley’s stake is standing proudly today in the Garden of Remembrance in Parliament.
It was a privilege to place a Poppy for my constituency in the garden earlier this week, to honour the brave who sacrificed their lives for our country.
We will remember them.

👏 I'm thrilled to share that I am a Vice Chair to the new Climate and Nature Crisis Caucus, led by an incredible group of cross-party MPs.
🌍 The launch of the CNCC is a powerful moment, proof that Parliament’s shared voice for climate and nature is still loud and clear.

🚲 Pleased to support the launch of LNER Beryl Bikes in Leeds alongside Mayor of West Yorkshire. More e-bikes and bays make it simpler for people to cut congestion and pollution, and enjoy our brilliant city.
