Kemi lost her head at PMQs - and afterwards too. It's not the first time. She's compared me to a Gestapo officer. I wonder what it is about a working class woman driving record investment in state schools by ending private schools' tax breaks that the Tories hate so much.

I am horrified by the school shooting in British Colombia and the lives cruelly taken. As the Chair of the APPG on Canada, my thoughts remain with the families and loved ones of those killed and injured. The UK stands alongside our Canadian friends as they mourn this awful tragedy.

Wishing all those celebrating Orthodox Christmas in Warwick, Leamington, Whitnash, the villages and across the world, a very happy Christmas. I hope today is filled with much joy for you and your loved ones.

I’ve written to the Minister for the Middle East about the urgent humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Aid groups face licence revocations & severe access restrictions. I’ve asked what steps the UK will be taking to ensure that life-saving aid reaches those who need it most.

Wishing a very Happy Christmas to all celebrating today across Warwick, Leamington, Whitnash and the villages, the UK and across the world. I hope today is a day of much joy and celebration for you and your loved ones.

On Christmas Eve, I want to wish all celebrating in Warwick, Leamington, Whitnash and the villages, a very Happy Christmas. My very best wishes for a happy and healthy festive season.

My comments on the appalling rape of a 15-year-old girl in Leamington and the sentencing at Warwick Crown Court yesterday. If you have been a victim of rape or sexual abuse, there is help available: www.warwickshire.police.uk/ro/report/rs...

Wishing Sikhs in Warwick and Leamington and across the world celebrating the 556th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Devi Ji, a happy and blessed Gurpurab.

Wishing a happy and peaceful Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas to all celebrating today across Warwick, Leamington, Whitnash and surrounding villages, across the UK and world! I hope today is filled with much joy for you and your loved ones.

I am proud to support Prostate Cancer Research’s campaign to introduce targeted prostate cancer screening for high-risk groups as soon as possible and save lives across the UK. #ProactiveForYourProstate

This Labour Government will back young people at every step. A new guarantee will mean more placements for those out of work and education for 18+ months, plus a bold skills target: 2/3 of young people in uni, further education or gold-standard apprenticeships.

Good to be with the newly formed Warwick Labour Club and local members from the area with @mattwestern.bsky.social yesterday. We need to be attracting new young members to Labour, and that's something I'll prioritise.

Great news! The new lifts at Warwick Station are finally open! A meaningful upgrade for thousands of travellers—thanks to the tireless work of Cllr John Holland. With over half a million passengers last year, this will help thousands travelling by train

Welcome news from Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) this week that Range Rover production has resumed in Solihull, with around 6,500 employees back at work. JLR is not only a major employer in Warwick and Leamington, but its supply chain supports tens of thousands more jobs.

It’s National Curry Week! Warwick & Leamington are packed with renowned curry houses serving authentic, award-winning dishes. I dropped by Warwick Spice to mark their upcoming 25th anniversary, so why not support local businesses and enjoy a great curry this weekend.

Further to the letter I posted on 4th October, I am pleased to include additional signatories from faith and community leaders in Warwick and Leamington. Last week's deplorable attack on members of the Jewish community have no place in the UK. We stand in solidarity with those all those affected.

Let us hope this is real.

Today marks two years since Hamas’s atrocious attacks on Israel, which killed 1,200 people and saw 251 taken hostage. It also marks two years of Gaza’s devastation, with more than 67,000 dead. Let us hope that these coming days will bring lasting peace and security in the Middle East.

While JLR faced financial meltdown after a cyber-attack, Reform UK’s County Council Leader didn’t meet with them once. No support, no leadership. Instead, just posts about flags, ‘woke’ sixth forms & party politics. Those affected by this cyber-attack deserve better.

Again, Kemi Badenoch has made a decision that flies in the face of economic logic and public opinion. The UK must continue to lead the green transition, not abandon it. That’s why I’ve written to the SoS, urging him to double down on the UK’s commitment to the green transition.

In the wake of Thursday’s appalling attack on the Heaton Park Synagogue, I join with faith and community leaders from across Warwick and Leamington to stand in solidarity with our Jewish neighbours. Hate has no place in our society. We must always speak out against it.

I am horrified by the attack on the Heaton Park Synagogue. There is absolutely no place for violence and antisemitism in our society. I stand in full solidarity with the Jewish community, both here in Warwick and Leamington and across the UK.

Reform UK has removed the Ukrainian flag from Warwickshire County Council’s head office. It’s a blinkered and shameful decision. Standing with those displaced by war isn’t optional, it is a moral obligation. Reform should stand with Ukraine and reverse this disgraceful decision

We promised to chase down the COVID FRAUDSTERS! The consortium closely connected to Baroness Mone has just been ordered to pay the UK Government £122m for breaching its PPE contract. This is a resounding win and evidence that the Tories served themselves, not the country.

I want to thank the organisations that met with me at this year’s Labour Conference🌹 It was great to hear about the vital work that organisations like Guide Dogs UK, National Grid, and the Motability Scheme are doing to support communities in Warwick and Leamington.

Wishing all those in the Jewish community across Warwick & Leamington, the UK, and around the world observing Yom Kippur a meaningful and easy fast. G’mar Chatima Tova.

Earlier this year, Farage said Jaguar Land Rover “deserved” to go bust. Ignorant and deeply damaging nonsense. Now, after a crippling cyber-attack, thousands of workers across the UK are affected. I’ve written to the Government and asked Reform UK’s Cllr Finch what support he’s offering.

I really want this government to succeed, but despite early achievements, we aren’t being heard. I would be a strong independent choice for Deputy Leader, working full time, championing our movement and government. My article for the Sunday Mirror www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Wishing the best of luck to those receiving GCSE & Level 1/2 VTQ results You've worked hard & I hope you get the results you need for your next steps If today doesn't go as hoped, it doesn't define you. There's support out there to help. Take your time. Do your research. Good luck!

Today is VJ Day & the 80th anniversary of the day Japan surrendered in 1945, which ended WW2. It was a particularly dreadful conflict – one that is often forgotten. Today we remember those who fought to defend our freedoms and the many who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Wishing the very best of luck to students receiving their results today. You have worked hard to get to this point and I hope you get the results you want/need, whether that be in your BTECs, Level 3 VTQs, A-levels or T-levels.

In just 3 HOURS, 91 MPs have joined my call on the major social media companies to take serious action to combat the appalling racism and misogyny directed at Jess Carter that they have allowed to be espoused on their platforms They need to act. Here is our call on them to do so

Welcome announcement from the Government on further support for those wishing to purchase EVs. We know that the uptake of EVs needs to rapidly increase and grants like this have an important role to play in supporting those who want to make the switch and making it more affordable. Good work.

Simply to wish a happy Canada Day to all Canadians! I’m the proud son of a Canadian immigrant and now Chair the APPG on Canada in Parliament. This last year has been a significant one for the country with its leadership of the G7 at such an important time.

Some words on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill and why I chose to vote for the bill today. Thank you again to all those who have been in touch to share their views and personal experiences.

The Business and Trade Committee – of which I’m Vice Chair - published its Industrial Strategy Report last week. From Aston Martin to AI, Jaguar Land Rover to Wind offshore around our islands, the opportunities are boundless. But needs a cross-Government approach to deliver.

Wishing all Muslims celebrating Eid al-Adha across Warwick, Leamington, Whitnash, the villages, across the UK and the world, a day filled with peace and joy. Eid Mubarak!

Germany's chief of defence issued a stark warning: Russia may attack Nato in next 4 yrs. The UK must prepare for an armed conflict - this SDR does just that. Conflict is no longer restricted to the battlefield; therefore, I asked the SoS on the UK's cyber offensive capabilities

What is happening in Gaza should not surprise us. We have heard repeatedly from members of the Israeli Cabinet what they intend to do in Gaza. “Elimination” of Gaza sounds a lot like genocide. And credit to Tom Fletcher at the UN.

Great news for the automotive sector in the WM. The Govt has agreed a UK-US trade deal, with automotive tariffs dropping from 27.5% to 10%, while steel tariffs have dropped from 25% to 0%. The Govt promised to protect British car makers and British jobs, and they’ve delivered.

Today is VE Day and is chance to remember the generation who sacrificed so much, and the so many who gave their lives, to defend our freedoms and values. The bravery and courage they exhibited remains an inspiration. Let us remember and honour them today.

It's no secret our automotive sector faces challenges, the latest being Trump’s tariffs. The impact is serious, with thousands employed by major manufacturers in my constituency. The PM backs our automotive industry, unlike others who would rather see them go bust... #PMQs

Canadians are heading the polls today. It has been a fascinating campaign that has seen significant challenges and changes in Canada’s relationship with its closest neighbour. As Chair of the APPG on Canada, it is excellent to see democracy in action.

As Chair of the APPG on Canada, I want to express my horror at the attack at the Lapu Lapu Day festival in Vancouver. To the city’s Filipino community & all Canadians, my thoughts are with you as you mourn the loss of your neighbours & in the aftermath of this dreadful attack.

Happy St. George’s Day! The St George’s flag belongs to all of us and is a reminder of our shared values that makes our country what it is.

I was saddened to learn of the death of Pope Francis & am thinking of the millions of people mourning his death. His papacy was one focused on the poor, vulnerable & forgotten. His focus & leadership on highlighting those too often missed by society was admirable & inspiring.

Wishing a very happy Easter to all celebrating in Warwick, Leamington, Whitnash & the villages, & across the UK. It is a time for reflection & hope & I plan to join one of the services in our area. I trust today is filled with much joy & happiness for you and your loved ones.

Wishing all celebrating today in Warwick, Leamington, Whitnash, the villages, across the UK and the world, a very happy Vaisakhi!

Wishing a happy Passover to the Jewish community in Warwick, Leamington, Whitnash and the villages, across the UK and the world. Chag Pesach Sameach!
