I said in Scrutiny I'd try to speak to the Children’s minister @JanetDaby (who made such an inspiring speech) about the challenges in children's social care at #LGAConf24
I achieved my aim and also invited her to Plymouth to see the good work we're doing in so many areas
The veteran community in Plymouth are a core part of our city. I’m committed to working with the Government to ensure veterans get the support they need.
It was good to chat to the Veterans Minister @AlistairCarns recently about the importance of championing veterans and the great work Labour are doing.
✅ Promised to give all military veterans a guaranteed roof over their heads, with those who have served our nation prioritised for social housing.
✅ Approved Veterans ID cards as valid Voter ID.

Today @jemimalaing welcomes the lengthy sentences handed down to 4 of the men involved in the Plymouth protests. Let it be a warning to others–no place for hate in Plymouth!

Now that the crowds have started to disperse across the city centre @jemimalaing reflects on what has happened in Plymouth tonight – expressing anger towards those who have caused damage and distress. See her full statement on the link here 👇

The message is clear - if you're coming to our city to cause trouble and stir up hate + division you are not welcome.
Plymouth is a city that has, unfortunately, had to demonstrate time and again that when things are difficult we come together. We won't stand for racist thuggery
Our Cabinet Member for Community Safety, @SallyHaydon2 suggests “staying away from the city centre for the next few hours might be sensible” in light of protests in the city centre tonight. 👇

Great cross-party Town Hall at the MOD hosted by SoS @JohnHealey_MP to update MPs about Ukraine activity.
My first qu to the PM last week was about UK commitment to Ukraine.
I asked the Armed Forced Minister @LukePollard the affect on Plymouth’s defence industry too.
It's made my day to hear that Mill Ford special school in Plymouth has been rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted.
My first visit as a Member of Parliament was to Mill Ford, where I was delighted to speak with the fantastic pupils, staff and the head, Claire.
Great effort from hardworking staff. Delivering strong SEND provision - and an excellent start in life for every child - is something I care deeply about. Lots of challenges to overcome and work to do across our region.

This has taken a bit of time to pull off and to be able to start talking about. It’s really good news. My thanks to everyone who has worked to make it happen.
