This week I joined the Limb Loss and Limb Difference Alliance to celebrate Disability Pride Month. The Alliance is working to make support more equitable for people with limb loss or limb difference across the UK and has presented its recommendations to Parliament. It was great to attend and chat with Marie Tidball MP.
Wow, what a day!
Massive well done to everyone involved in the Leys Festival - especially given the high temperature.
Today’s event felt bigger and better than ever! 🥘 🎷 💃 🍦 🏉 👏
Great to launch @Oxford_Labour’s manifesto in Headington last weekend.
@CllrSusanBrown and her team are on your side, delivering affordable housing, an inclusive economy, and a cleaner, greener Oxford 🌹
This is totally predictable madness Palestine Action is not equivalent to real terrorist groups like Al Qaeda or Islamic State why I voted against its ban @UKHouseofLords @LabourLordsUK @YvetteCooperMP @Keir_Starmer https://t.co/gGDHG9wrzJ
I think Oxford deserves a leader who's actually got some idea what's going on in it 🤔🤔
Oxford needs to be in charge of its own destiny, not run from rural Oxfordshire
Creating a Greater Oxford is the only local government reorganisation that makes any sense
We have had electric buses for about a year in Oxford and they are brilliant! I wonder when 100% of the buses will be electric? It can't come soon enough for our city's air quality!
A fascinating interview 15 minutes into this BBC 'Access All' programme with the recently elected disabled MP @MarieTidball in how she is getting on with the job! Amazing. #disablity#access 🌹

This year’s Cowley Branch Line Walk was bigger than ever!
It was great to have so many people joining me to walk the length of the line- demonstrating how much support there is for enabling passengers to use the line.
This decade is critical for action on the climate emergency.
It was an honour to welcome Sir David Attenborough to the Foreign Office today to discuss @UKLabour’s vision to put climate and nature at the heart of our foreign policy.
BREAKING 🚨 | @AntoniaBance MP has criticised the 'DISGRACEFUL' union busting tactics and intimidation from Amazon.
Response from Minister @justinmadders:
We will simplify the process and laws around recognition.
The Sustainable Development Goals are essential to creating a world free from poverty on a liveable planet.
This week I met with @UN Deputy Secretary General @AminaJMohammed to discuss getting the SDGs back on track.
That’s what genuine partnership is all about.
🇬🇧🤝🇺🇳
Anneliese Dodds MP @AnnelieseDodds has been appointed Minister of State in the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office @FCDOGovUK.
She has also been appointed Minister for Women and Equalities in the Department for Education @educationgovuk.
She will attend Cabinet.
One more day to go! Good to catch up with @AngelaRayner and discuss our plans for our New Deal for Working people.
We’ll make work more secure. This is the change you’ll get with Labour - but you have to vote for it tomorrow!
