We were listening to Roundhay residents’ hopes & concerns for the neighbourhood over the weekend.

Lots of good chats & some local issues that @fabianhamilton.bsky.social & our team will follow up.

🌹We are the only party on the streets in all Leeds North East wards, all year round.

NEW: After lobbying the government for @stgemmashospice.bsky.social, I'm delighted that it has allocated vital new funding. This is the biggest investment in a generation for hospices.

St Gemma's will receive £225,450 to continue its outstanding work for our family, friends and loved ones.

🏫 Delighted that two schools in North East Leeds will be one of the first to offer one of Labour’s free breakfast clubs.

🥞 Free breakfast clubs will be available for young people at Carr Manor School and Dixons Trinity Academy. This will boost parents' work choices and children's life chances.

I also met with allies, partners and senior parliamentarians from across the world to discuss our shared economic and security interests, in what is an unstable geopolitical environment. 3/3

It's vital that we address the stalling of progress on the UN’s sustainable development goals, empower women and girls, improve access to finance for low-income countries, help countries respond to climate change, and reduce irregular migration by addressing the causes of displacement. 2/3

Today marks 80 years since Auschwitz was liberated. We remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and all victims of the Nazis, including members of my own family.

It’s a timely reminder of where antisemitism can lead and highlights why it must be stamped out.
