No form of discrimination is acceptable in our society - those who seek to divide us stoke hatred for their own gain, trying to tear #communities apart.
This #IslamophobiaAwarenessMonth, pleased to re-commit to standing up against racism and prejudice.

History and heritage of #Slough is interwoven with #defence - proudly supporting the nation.
The sacrifices of our #local #veterans, as well as of brave troops from across the globe, must both be commemorated - so remembrance should never be exclusive. #WeWillRememberThem

Renters' Rights Act seeks to end insecurity, unfairness and extortionate practices by rebalancing the relationship in the #rental market.
Protecting #tenants and rewarding good #landlords, while targeting rogue operators, it’s a historic moment for a fairer system for all.

On behalf of the Defence Committee, deepest gratitude to all who’ve served and those in the #ArmedForces keeping us safe—we will honour their sacrifice.
They’re the best of us—putting themselves in danger and helping with disaster relief when deployed abroad like recently in #Jamaica.

From the Great War to modern operations around the globe, #Sikh soldiers have served with distinction.
Proud to see a new British Army troop made to commemorate the bravery and sacrifice of over 100,000 #Sikhs who fought for Britain in the 1st World War.

Europe's security is under threat.
As the Defence Committee's report on the UK's contribution to European Security states - we must do more to strengthen Britain's safety. It's time to act now.

A very sobering and informative visit to #Kyiv with the Defence Committee, as we were able to contextualise and strenghten our grasp on the challenges that #Ukrainians face.
For our continent’s security, vital that the #UK continues supporting #Ukraine against #Russian aggression (1/2).

Grateful to the Prime Minister for his invaluable time for a one-to-one chat about the policies our Government needs to pursue - in the upcoming Budget and more generally - for uplifting our country and obviously what would make a positive difference for my Slough constituents.

Key part of my role as Chair of the Defence Committee is meeting many #defence experts and stakeholders.
Hence a pleasure to take part in Q&A session with Defence Academy Advance Course students, from the UK and around the world, who wanted to know more about our work in #Parliament.

Lack of direct rail between #Heathrow and Slough (onto Wales and the West) is nonsensical and leading to ridiculous routes!
Access to Europe's busiest airport should be efficient and environmentally friendly - why Western Rail Link to Heathrow is a must.

Government states its number one priority is #EconomicGrowth and #infrastructure projects are integral to that.
Government must finally build the Western Rail Link to Heathrow - connecting 20% of #UK population to within one interchange of nation’s main port.

In these uncertain times, crucial that our legislation, like the #NationalSecurity Act and Official Secrets Act, is fit for purpose and makes the #UK more #secure.
We must not let those who wish to harm us and our freedoms escape #justice and #accountability.

#Parliament for 2 years was shockingly kept in the dark by super-injunction seeking to stop exposure of #Afghan #DataLeak.
Goes against #transparency and #FreeSpeech, but thanks to grit of good #journalists, our Defence Select Committee can now help expose truth.

Collapse of cases like the recent #China #espionage case should not be allowed to happen again.
At our Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy hearing, I probed the comprehensiveness of the National Security Act and its ability to help keep us secure.

Anglo-Portuguese alliance dating back to 1372 is oldest diplomatic alliance still in force, hence honour hosting Speaker of #Portugal Parliament and his delegation.
We discussed how to boost🇵🇹🇬🇧ties and #defence coordination, drawing on his experience as former Defence Minister.

I’m determined to deliver for children so they have a better start in life.
On top of other childcare packages, brilliant that Labour government is launching Best Start Family Hubs, with £137,585 allocated to Slough for the opening of a centre by April.

#Afghan Solidarity Campaign believe there have been political motivations behind Government behaviour on the Afghan #DataLeak, rather than protecting people.
Imperative that government decision making is always held to the highest levels of scrutiny, such as by the Defence Committee.

Another busy set of MP advice surgeries in Slough concluded for me and my team - fighting for constituents, listening to their concerns and giving residents having to deal with authorities a strong voice.
