I extend my deepest sympathy to Catholics across the Colne Valley constituency and around the world on the death of His Holiness Pope Francis.

I was deeply disturbed to learn about the homophobic attack that took place on Saturday, 12th April, outside the Old Bridge Pub in Norridge Bottom. My message is clear: everyone has the right to feel safe, and we must collectively adopt a zero-tolerance stance against hate crime.

Wishing Sikhs across the Colne Valley constituency, the UK and around the World a very happy #Vaisakhi
