This hot weather is dangerous for our friends on the streets. Please carry a spare bottle of water to give out when you see someone in need and let us @SloughOutreach know so that we can connect them with local support services. #TogetherWeCan#EndHomelessness
Given #Slough has been hard-hit by Covid-19, @SloughLeader @JosieWragg & I have been demanding for months that a testing centre is located here.
Glad that will now be the case as test, trace & isolate become more important than ever to overcome the virus.

Another blessed day serving the local community.
Today we had the good fortune to deliver face masks to Windmill Care Home in Slough as part of our ongoing local community welfare and support initiative.

Callous Tory Govt has decided, despite promises, to abolish @DFID_UK and merge into @foreignoffice; that too on the anniversary of Jo Cox’s murder.
To distract attention from humiliating u-turn on free school meals, but will leave many across globe in poverty. #AidNotTrade
Disappointing the Secretary of State didn't address the Westferry scandal in person.
Questions need answering about his conversations with developer Mr Desmond at a Tory fundraising dinner & his donation shortly after his development was approved.

Much love to our friends at Wexham Park Hospital 😍. Members from the Slough #MutualAid network alongside the brilliant young people of @AikSaath hand-baked and delivered goodies to Wexham Park Hospital this week. We see you. We appreciate you!!

We love these pictures of @NHS staff at Wexham Park Hospital receiving the cookies🍪 our young volunteers baked. Thanks so much to @SloughMutualAid for sharing them with us. Thank you NHS/WPH staff for all you have done in this crisis - and continue to do. Muffins next!
3 years ago today the good people of #Slough elected me their MP.
This is the most satisfying thing I’ve done in Parliament; calling out the most powerful to be a voice for the voiceless.
Still so much to do, but an honour to serve our town and country.

My fun-loving taxi driver uncle sadly passed away having contracted Covid-19, like many taxi drivers and frontline workers.
This excellent @Channel4News@darshnasoni report explores reasons why risk for BAME is higher and the urgent need for Govt action.

We've seen some discussion in mutual aid groups about whether to attend #BlackLivesMatter protests in the UK.
If you decide to show your support in that way, check out this thread first.
