🚨Huge news for Whitehawk 🚨 I’m proud to announce that Whitehawk has secured £20 million in new funding through the Labour Government’s Plan for Neighbourhoods. Now the big question: how should we spend it? Tell me here: https://t.co/xmIfvwErHm

This @UKLabour Government has frozen rail fares for the first time in 30 years

Great to catch up with my good friend Gully today 😎 #UpTheAlbion

Great to catch up with my friend Craig Jones today. Craig has advocated for LGBTQ+ rights and HIV awareness to his commitment to social justice as the founder of @fightingwpride. He's exactly the sort of example we need in public life.

I’m grateful to be featured in @brightonargus today as I call for a genuine reset in public standards — because the foundations of our democracy depend on it. In Parliament, I set out why rebuilding trust starts with real reform.

2/2 St Luke’s Residents’ Association is hosting a community convention on 15 Dec for residents to share ideas about the Pepperpot’s future. More info: stlukesresidentsassociation@hotmail.com

I’ve met with the Friends of the Pepperpot to discuss protecting one of Brighton’s most distinctive Regency landmarks. We’re pushing for proper surveys, action on the trees growing through the roof, and a place for it within wider heritage plans. 1/2

5 million extra NHS appointments delivered already under this Labour government. That’s 5 million more chances to be seen earlier. 5 million fewer people stuck waiting. 5 million steps towards getting our NHS back on its feet.

To the vast majority of renters and landlords who play by the rules, this government has got your back. To those rogue landlords that don’t, your time is up.

It's Transgender Awareness Week. Trans people are among the most marginalised and discriminated in our society. We must stand up to it. Great to meet staff at MindOut today, a brilliant local mental health service run by and for LGBTQ+ people. I'll keep supporting their work.

🇬🇧 Labour’s new Veterans Strategy will make a real difference here in Brighton & Peacehaven — celebrating service, supporting veterans into work and ensuring no one who served is left behind. 👉 Read more: https://t.co/3t9Aa7zKwh @fightingwpride @brightonargus

I held my latest constituency surgery at Saltdean Lido — always a brilliant local venue and a real community hub. If you need help or want to raise an issue, please get in touch: Chris.ward.mp@parliament.uk

Proud to welcome launch of £75m LGBT+ Veterans Financial Recognition Scheme 🏳️‍🌈 I’ve worked with @fightingwpride & LGBT+ veterans to help make this happen — a vital step toward justice for those banned from serving simply for who they were.

Today I joined remembrance services in Rottingdean and Peacehaven to honour all those who gave their lives in service to our country. We will remember them. 🌹

Great to meet Cllr Mark Earthey and local water-quality champions from FORCE & BH Seacheck at Saltdean Lido 🌊 Their community testing is vital to protect swimmers & wildlife — and I’m calling on Southern Water to extend funding so this work can continue.

🌊 Strong win for our coast! I’m delighted that the dredging licence for Brighton Marina has been quashed. I stood with residents and campaigners all the way. Thanks to community and Sussex Wildlife Trust for campaigning on it. https://t.co/8CPbLIvXgn

Rottingdean Library matters — and local people have made that clear. Almost 3,000 residents took part in the citywide consultation on libraries. It’s a vital part of village life — and I’ll keep working with the Council, the Parish Council and campaigners to find a solution.

One of my main roles in the Cabinet Office is making sure procurement works for businesses. So It was great to meet with a range of small and medium businesses to discuss how we can use public procurement to boost jobs, growth and support small businesses across the country.

We will remember them. Ahead of Remembrance Day this weekend, it was an honour to plant a poppy in Parliament's Constituency Garden of Remembrance on behalf of residents. Lest we forget.
