This afternoon in the House of Commons I honoured Lance Corporal George Hooley and the courage he showed in service. My thoughts remain with his family, friends, and colleagues. RIP Lance Corporal George Hooley

Fantastic to be with the Defence Secretary @JohnHealey_MP this evening as he announces 35,000 service personnel will get the cost of their travel home covered this Christmas. That’s the difference a Labour government makes. Putting our Forces First. https://t.co/EUZGRFhScv

Absolutely incredible. A party that sat on its hands for 14years now pretending to care. All noise, no action. I’ve done more in one year actually working with the sector and getting real change and action as an MP than they did in a decade. #ToolTheftMoreLikePolicyTheft 🔧
Tradesmen are being shafted by an epidemic of tool theft. It’s destroying their livelihoods. We must have their backs.

Portsmouth’s connection to the Armed Forces, especially @RoyalNavy, runs deep. We owe our thanks to those who serve, have served & to their families. Proud to be at events across the city today to lay wreaths & reflect on our shared duty to live in peace. We will remember them.

14 yrs of Tory nothing now they’re shamefully pretending to care about tool theft. I’ve been on this from day 1 working with the sector, listening to tradies & delivering real results. Victims 1st not gimmicks. Action speak louder. They deserve more. 👉

Amanda Martin MP has welcomed the announcement of new sentencing powers in Labour’s Sentencing Bill, which will deliver crucial protections for victims of tool theft that she has campaigned for...
Great to launch our plan to crack down on tool theft at @JCBmachines. Too many hardworking tradesmen, builders and farmers are being hit by this growing menace. Stealing their tools isn’t petty, it’s serious crime, and it deserves serious punishment. That’s what our plan

Today marks the Second Reading of the #HillsboroughLaw a vital step towards truth and justice. It will ensure families are never left to fight alone, strengthen accountability, and rebuild trust between the public and the state. #PortsmouthNorth #Justice

So sad to see the passing of Milan Mandaric. Life was definitely an adventure as a Pompey fan when he was at our club. RIP MILAN 💙
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our former chairman, Milan Mandarić, at the age of 87. Rest in peace, Milan. 💙

A really powerful panel addressing the often neglected issues of men’s health. I’m looking forward to our continued partnership to improve the lives of the men and lads in Portsmouth. 💙💙💙
Great few days at @LabourParty conference, talking all things men’s health with policy makers, MPs and party members. We were delighted to host our first ever fringe event on the upcoming Men’s Health Strategy with Health Minister Dr @zubirahmed, @AmandaMartinMP, Mayor of York

As a mum of three lads & as a former teacher I’ve seen 1st-hand how gender shapes opportunity & wellbeing. That’s why it’s so important we talk about what we should be advocating for men & boys — & hear what you want to see in gendered policy, including the men’s health strategy.
Excited to welcome @AmandaMartinMP to our panel later today #Lab25 🕑 2pm 📍Arena Room - Clyde, the ACC Do come along and join us!

Since being elected I’ve been fighting hard in Parliament for Portsmouth — and it’s paying off. We’ve secured £40m for Portsmouth, incl. £20m for Paulsgrove (£2m a year for 10 years) through Labour’s Pride in Place. Real change. No more empty promises.

🇬🇮 Honoured to be in Gibraltar for National Day this week, addressing the crowds on behalf of the British Parliament. As Chair of the APPG, it was wonderful to see the Rock awash with red & white, music filling the air, & celebrations all around. Happy National Day, Gibraltar! 🎉
