First up in my constituency favourites series: Noted Eel & Pie House in Leytonstone. A go-to spot for my team and me after a long day. Great pie, mash & liquor!

The reforms we’re making to military housing have already made a difference for thousands of service families across the country, and more is coming.

Great to hear from @DannyBeales about the work he’s doing to engage with the families in his constituency and champion the e.

This is reindustrialisation in action.

Honoured to attend the Speaker’s Black History Month Reception and welcome service personnel to Parliament.

‘We owe it to all those who lost their lives at Aberfan to build a better future' - @andyburnham

Yesterday I joined the Prime Minister in Aberfan ahead of tomorrow’s 60th anniversary.

It was an honour to meet members of the community - including survivors of that terrible day.

Today, we remember the terrible tragedy of the Aberfan disaster and the 144 lives lost on 21 October 1966.

Heddiw, rydyn ni'n cofio trasiedi ofnadwy trychineb Aberfan a'r 144 bywydau a gollwyd ar 21 Hydref 1966.

Our Armed Forces personnel give so much in service to our country. When they leave service, accessing support should be simple.

That's why I was pleased to highlight investment in new VALOUR veteran support centres yesterday, with more locations to be announced soon. 👇

This is vital diplomacy - @wesstreeting highlighting the strength the UK & US share through our alliance.

So important to set out to our allies how critical Ukraine’s fight is to our shared security, we must deepen our support as they endure further brutal Russian attacks. 👇

Proud to support @GMBLondonRegion's Black History Month reception in Parliament and launch their new race activist toolkit.

Great to catch up with so many wonderful friends fighting for equality in their workplaces! 🙌

Want to know what’s happening with the Troubles Bill? Northern Ireland veteran @jonnyball79 speaks to the Minister for Veterans and People @CalvinBailey to learn how it's helping families find answers, ensure justice can run its course, and strengthen protections for veterans.

It was a wonderful Saturday in South Woodford, speaking with residents alongside Cllr Beverley Brewer and @redbridgelabour about issues including anti-social behaviour, SEND, and the River Roding.

Thank you to everyone who came out! 🌹🫶

The world of work has changed. Our employment laws need to keep pace.

Today, we’ve launched a consultation on employment status reform and protections for the self-employed, to tackle bogus self-employment and build a fairer system.

Next year will mark 45 years since British forces liberated the Falkland Islands. For some of those veterans who fought in that conflict, this may be one of the last major anniversaries they see.

We have confirmed that commemorations will take place on the islands to mark the those who paid the ultimate price for the freedom of the Falkland Islanders.

It's #FloodActionWeek and this is an important opportunity for us all to check our risk, sign up for warnings, and understand what we can do to keep our loved ones safe and reduce the damage if flooding hits.
