Andy Burnham’s powerful conference speech was honest & at times deeply emotional. Speaking about his father, who died recently, you could see how personal the issue of social care is. It gave meaning to his determination to fix a system that has been allowed to fail too many families for too long.

John Healey’s first Labour Conference speech as Chancellor put jobs, young people. 1000s more apprenticeships and investment at the centre of his economic agenda.

After months of pressure from residents and councillors, minimum bus services are finally returning to Bedford and Kempston. I raised these cuts in Parliament earlier this month. This is welcome, but it is the minimum residents should expect. I will keep pushing for better. #yasinforbedford

The Defence Secretary made a statement on the UK’s support for Ukraine in response to Russian threats over the winter. He agreed that this support is not only the right thing to do for our Ukrainian allies, but also a strategic necessity to safeguard the long-term security of the British people.

I raised the concerns of residents of St Andrews Estate in Bedford who have been trying for years to get traffic safety measures implemented. But the local authority won’t adopt the road until it meets required building standards. Residents should not have to wait so long for defects to be fixed.

More than 2,000 residents in Bedford and Kempston have signed petitions following the loss of the 7, 10 and 53 services and cuts to the 4 and 5. I’ve asked for a Parliamentary debate on how Gov could support community-led models that could keep services running when the commercial model fails.

In his first PMQs I asked the PM if he would work with me to strengthen adult and young people’s inpatient mental health provision in Bedford and Kempston so that when people reach crisis point, they can access the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

Met theatre staff at Bedford Hospital to hear concerns about changes to overtime pay, staffing pressures and growing reliance on agency workers. Dedicated professionals who want to support patients deserve to be valued and treated fairly. I will be raising this with the Trust. #yasinforbedford #NHS

Raised in Parliament the impact of Operations Boson and Costello in Bedfordshire. Major arrests and a 15% drop in antisocial behaviour show what targeted policing can achieve. Pushed for continued funding to keep our communities safe. #Bedford #Crime #SaferStreets #yasinforbedford

Attended the Endometriosis UK roundtable on inequalities in care in Parliament. From constituents, my own team & my family, I have seen how this condition is too often dismissed & delayed, especially for women from underserved communities. We need action on diagnosis & aftercare. #yasinforbedford

Parliament was updated on the situation in the Middle East. I made clear the UK must not be drawn into a wider conflict. We must act with caution and in our own national interest. Reassuring to hear the Government’s position remains clear. #UKPolitics #Peace #yasinforbedford

4 years ago, Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. This war is about security & democracy across Europe, including here in the UK. We will continue military & humanitarian support. 4 years on, Britain stands with Ukraine — for as long as it takes. #StandWithUkraine #yasinforbedford

Jess Brady, 27, died of stage 4 cancer after 20 GP visits with dismissed symptoms. Her family’s loss led to Jess’s Rule: ➡️ After 3 GP visits for the same or worsening symptoms, doctors must review & rethink. Now national guidance, backed by the Royal College of GPs—a step that could save lives. 💛

The UK Government has taken the historic step of recognising a Palestinian state. But Gaza still faces a humanitarian catastrophe. The UK must expand sanctions on the Israeli government, push for a lasting ceasefire, get more aid to civilians, and secure the release of hostages.
