    I had the great privilege to have served alongside Fred. He had a distinguished career of which he can be rightly proud. He upholds the finest traditions of the Royal Marines; service before self. Plymouth will be lucky to have him as an MP.

    Shocked and disappointed by the hustings yesterday. Service should be above political point scoring. My time as Royal Marines Commando is a privilege of a lifetime. It would be an honour to serve Plymouth in Parliament, as I served our nation before. plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymouth-…

    Spent the morning with @RossKemp reminding voters that if you want change, you have to vote for it. Vote Change. Vote Labour on 4 July.

    I won’t stay silent when people like me are told we don’t belong. This Remembrance Sunday, we remember all who fought for our freedoms, of every background and faith. Modern British society is not diminished by diversity - it is defined by it.

    “I am Black British. That is who I am, and I want you to know both of those things.” I am proud of my British Zambian heritage and to call London my home. Our identities connect us to our shared history & values: freedom, democracy & the rule of law. #BlackHistoryMonth debate

    Getting stuck in! I’m spending my first few days setting up my office and meeting the team in the amazing new Parliamentary Labour Party. Leyton and Wanstead - whether or not you voted for me personally, I want to be an MP who listens, is visible, and stands up for you 👇

    Incredibly happy and affirming to meet Labour legend Neil Kinnock in Parliament. He is such a lovely man whose leadership has shaped the foundations of this and previous Labour governments. 🌹

    Day three and I’m thinking about representation: it matters! It is so important to have a Parliament that looks, sounds and feels like the communities we represent. ✊🏽

    It was an honour to attend the Veterans’ Reception at No.10 this week with Peter, a constituent and veteran. Having served in the RAF for over 24 years, I was honoured to stand with fellow veterans who have given so much to our country and continue to serve our communities. 🫶
