Up bright and early for another regular #Sunday morning MP advice surgery in #Slough, so that my team and I can #help constituents with the issues they’re facing.

#Qatar is one of our closest allies, so it was an honour hosting in #Parliament their Deputy Prime Minister Sheikh Saoud Al Thani and #Qatari Ambassador, alongside our #Defence Committee members, to discuss strengthening ties, #security and #peace talks in the #MiddleEast.

Pleasure to speak to @tandhesi.bsky.social today about the need to keep up the momentum on NHS dental reform. Over 13 million people currently unable to access NHS dentistry in England cannot afford any further delay. @thebda.bsky.social

Great to be at #LabourConference again in Liverpool, exchanging ideas with activists and delegates, as the #PrimeMinister set out a positive vision over the coming decade for our country to bring back hope again.

#Finland is a trusted friend of the #UK, so hosting in #Parliament their Ambassador Teemu Turunen and his team is important. Good exchange about how we can work together to bolster protections against #threats in #Europe and the High North to solidify our #security.

Senior leadership of Comfort Care Services hosted me at their headquarters in #Slough to brief in detail about their vital domiciliary care and other services. It also served as a reminder of the gratitude we owe #carers for the invaluable #care they provide in our #community.

Out in support of our fantastic local #Labour candidate for the Holborn and St Pancras by-election, Sagal Abdi-Wali … knocking on doors alongside some brilliant activists, as we listened to residents’ concerns and reminded them to #VoteLabour on 8th October.

I was put on the spot at #Sunday morning service of #Slough Baptist Church, where Lead Pastor Reverend Keith Wilson did a Q&A with me on stage, so the congregation could find out more about how I’ve been serving them. Lovely to get to know them all afterwards over a cuppa!

Great to exchange views with NATO Secretary General, Mark Rutte, after hearing him deliver his annual lecture at the magnificent setting of Ditchley Park. A stark reminder of #NATO’s importance for our #security and why we need to swiftly increase #defence #investment in a much more volatile world.

Wonderful to join the #Defence Hindu Network for a special celebration in #Parliament of Raksha Bandhan — to reflect on the enduring bonds that unite us, while recognising the courage, contribution and sacrifice made by #Hindu members of our #ArmedForces for our national defence.

#Denmark🇩🇰 is a close ally, so as part of our #Defence Committee High North inquiry, good to learn from Danish Foreign Affairs & Defence Committee and other prominent people in Copenhagen about how their defence spend has shot up and how we must collaborate to keep #Europe safe.

Tan Dhesi MP @tandhesi.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

#Greenland🇬🇱 is an amazing place, whose strategic importance has come to the fore globally. For our Defence Committee High North inquiry, great to discuss with MPs, Danish Defence Minister, Chief of Defence, Faroe Islands Deputy PM and others how we collectively counter threats.

Took a walk on the wild side of #Slough with Thames Hospice! They’ve cleverly raised awareness around our town about their vital #hospice service, so please do see for yourself how the trunks across the Thames sculptures celebrate the very best of our #community.

Tan Dhesi MP @tandhesi.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

It’s imperative to properly #invest in our #ArmedForces, as explained before by the current Chancellor. Our #European allies have accelerated their #defence spending and, as a nation, rather than be sorry later, we must recognise the #threats and take action now.

“We need to wake up.” After an incendiary intervention at #PMQs yesterday, @labouruk.bsky.social Defence Select Committee Chair @tandhesi.bsky.social has warned that the UK risks falling behind its allies on defence spending, as he presses the Government to set out when it will reach 3% of GDP. 1/3

Tan Dhesi MP @tandhesi.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

With rising #threats from adversaries and a weakened focus on #European #defence from the #DonaldTrump administration, our #government must step up to properly #invest now in our #ArmedForces … and being timely will also ensure value for money for the #British taxpayer.

031

Tan Dhesi MP @tandhesi.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Given the significantly raised #threat level, now is not the time for dither or delay. The nation, and its government in particular, needs to understand the criticality of #investing in our #ArmedForces now, with clarity on pathway to reach 3% of GDP spend on #defence by 2030.

Tan Dhesi MP @tandhesi.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

The nation should be under no illusion that we face a significantly higher #threat level, so rather than be sorry later, #PrimeMinister we must properly #invest in our #defence now.

Tan Dhesi MP @tandhesi.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

As our recent #Defence Committee report on the #Afghan #DataBreach shows, the breach went undetected for over a year and then further secrecy for way too long; meaning no scrutiny for actions! #Government must reflect on the lessons to be learnt to ensure it never happens again.

I spoke with Leena Bector’s husband to express my deep concern as she remains missing in Nepal and to provide help. Mrs Bector’s family have asked me to convey that media outlets kindly stop contacting them and her workplace, and their privacy be respected at this trying time.

Devastating news about the hundreds who’ve sadly perished in #Nepal and #Tibet, and hundreds still missing, including at least one Slough resident among the missing Brits. My thoughts and prayers with all affected and those involved in rescue efforts.🙏🏼 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ministry of Defence failed at a critical moment when the #Afghan #DataBreach occurred and subsequent secrecy made it even worse, as our #Defence Committee report shows. #Government must now explain how it’s going to keep promises to those who helped us. www.ft.com/content/f8d3...

Touched by the very warm welcome in my ancestral #village Raipur in the #Punjab, as they showed me some of the latest changes and developments they’ve campaigned hard for — in the school, stadium, gym, Gurdwara, roads and other works under way. Always a delight to see them all😊

Our #Defence Committee report highlights how case reviews of #Afghan Special Forces (who’d bravely helped us) overturned hundreds of wrongful refusals. For many, that correction came only after years spent in hiding, so #government must now help those we promised to #protect.
