An incredible first week on the job @ the DfT! I’ve met with industry leaders from across the UK and beyond for London International Shipping Week. 🌍🇬🇧🚢 I was proud to announce more than £1.1 billion investment to boost jobs and skills and growth for our coastal towns and cities! ⚓️🚀

Happy Easter everyone! My constituency office is now closed for the long weekend. A huge thank you to everyone who is working over the weekend, and I hope that observers enjoy the services in the beautiful Churches across our area. 🌼

Happy International Women’s Day! It’s a privilege to get to meet so many incredible and inspiring women in this job. 🚺 I’m proud of Labour’s plans to tackle discrimination and pleased to work in Parliament to support the government’s ambitious mission to halve violence against women and girls. 🌹

Today marks 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz. In Parliament last week, I paid tribute to David Makofski, a man from Leeds who helped hundreds of Jews escape from the Nazis. Today, we mourn the millions of lives lost, and reaffirm our commitment to fight antisemitism.

This Labour Government is getting on with the job. 🎖️Supporting veterans with a new Armed Forces Commissioner. 👧Protecting our most vulnerable by overhauling the children’s social care system. 🚂Full steam ahead with public ownership of our railways.

The Conservatives ran our bus network into the ground. In rural towns and villages like ours, we rely on our bus network to see family, get to work, or get to that crucial doctor's appointment. This is great news for the future of bus services in North Yorkshire 👇

North Yorkshire has seen a huge rise in road traffic accidents between 2022/23. That’s why this Government is taking road safety seriously with a victim-led approach. 🚗 The first road safety strategy in over a decade; 🚗 learning from best practises across the world.
