1️⃣ Believing women and girls
2️⃣ Educating our children on healthy relationships

Yorkshire has so much to offer and I'm so proud to call it my home. I was born in Leeds and grew up in Sheffield - Leeds has the best city centre in the country.
I spoke to the Yorkshire Post about my favourite things about Yorkshire: https://loom.ly/YOmsi7c

"The electoral system is at breaking point."

In our multi-party era, increasingly unrepresentative election results risk undermining trust in our very democracy.

Leeds Central and Headingley’s stake is standing proudly today in the Garden of Remembrance in Parliament.
It was a privilege to place a Poppy for my constituency in the garden earlier this week, to honour the brave who sacrificed their lives for our country.
We will remember them.

I was shocked and saddened to hear about the incident on the LNER train this weekend.
My thoughts go out to all those affected, and I am wishing them and all those injured a swift and full recovery.

👏 I'm thrilled to share that I am a Vice Chair to the new Climate and Nature Crisis Caucus, led by an incredible group of cross-party MPs.
🌍 The launch of the CNCC is a powerful moment, proof that Parliament’s shared voice for climate and nature is still loud and clear.
