#DonaldTrump’s original #PeacePlan is humiliating for #Ukraine, rewards the invader and harmful for our continent’s #security.
The #UK and our #European allies must be at the heart of negotiations - if we’re not at the table, we’ll be on the menu!

The first duty of any Government is to protect, but the findings of our hard-hitting Defence Committee report made for sobering reading.
Given the rising #threats level, TalkTV, rather than moving at a glacial pace and being sorry later, we must invest to be ready.

The Tories left an outdated council funding system that entrenched inequality, punishing deprived areas.
The Labour government is building a fairer funding system, but left-behind towns like Slough must be prioritised to get the funding we deserve.

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.

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

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.

#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.
