Workers undergoing IVF in the UK aren’t entitled to paid time off. Labour MP @AliceMLabour has introduced a bill to change that. Coming up shortly on @TheWorld I speak with women who hid their fertility treatment out of fear for their jobs. Tune in: https://t.co/eUBpeo7bS9

Honoured to attend the opening of the House of Commons Gardens of Remembrance this week. I planted a tribute on behalf of Norwich North constituents in memory of those who served and gave so much for our country. #LestWeForget

Thank you @AliceMLabour for presenting your bill in Parliament today and calling for paid time off for fertility treatment. Too many women have struggled to manage treatment alongside their job. A legal right to paid leave for IVF will ensure fairness and consistency across all

I’ve just presented my 10-minute rule Bill in Parliament to give a legal right to paid time off work for fertility treatment. The current system is letting thousands of people – especially women- down. Here’s why the law needs to change 👇

Tomorrow, I’m bringing a bill to Parliament asking MP's to support people having the legal right to paid time off work for fertility treatment. I spoke on @BBCWomansHour this morning about why a change in the law is needed 👇 @fertmatterswork

The appalling incident on a train near Huntingdon is deeply concerning. My thoughts are with all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency services for their response. Anyone in the area should follow the advice of the police.

The UK is stepping up support for Sudan. With an extra £5m in humanitarian aid for El Fasher—this includes vital support for survivors of sexual violence. This is on top of £120m already committed. The world must not look away. We must act to end the suffering.

My advice surgery this morning was at the Phoenix Centre in Mile Cross. A good moment to say thank you to my caseworkers who do an amazing job to support constituents. My next surgery is the 6th December in Sprowston, please email or phone to book a slot.

Another big announcement for women’s health delivered by this government. Making the morning after pill free from pharmacies is a very welcome step.
NEW: The morning-after pill will be available free of charge on the NHS from pharmacies today! This is biggest change to sexual health services since the 1960s and a major advance for women’s reproductive health. https://t.co/ZmjuBU94u4

Congratulations to Carli Harper who is Labour’s candidate for Norfolk and Suffolk Mayor. She would be a fantastic Mayor who will stand up for our area and deliver on the issues that matter to people locally from transport to housing. Proud to have backed her.
Congratulations, Carli Harper - Labour’s candidate for Mayor of Norfolk and Suffolk!

An excellent way to end a Monday! 👇
Labour’s transformational Renters’ Rights Bill has just received Royal Assent – that means it is now an Act of Parliament and the law. The Act levels decisively the playing field between landlord and tenant and will improve the lives of millions of renters across the country.
