It was a great privilege to go to COP28 and have the opportunity to hear climate solutions from experts from all backgrounds.
It's clear: countries need to be ambitious and follow through with commitments.
Listen to my full thoughts on the conference on my last day there 👇

10,000 Palestinian children have been killed, yet the Government claims Israel is not targeting civilians.

RT by @Afzal4Gorton: Thanks to @Afzal4Gorton for raising a parliamentary question on air pollution this week and mentioning @StMargaretsWR as an asthma friendly school. We need more action and sooner from our local and national political leaders. https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2023-12-07/debates/C8044E1B-1B2E-4F06-A113-2F576D47C6BB/AirPollution

Triple negative breast cancer cases make up 15% of breast cancer cases in the UK each year.
Yet people with TNBC feel as if they do not count. It's imperative to raise awareness about TNBC and I'm proud to support

It is beyond reprehensible that the UK and US can watch over 17,000 people, including 7,000 children, be killed, 1.9m people be displaced, and places of safety bombed relentlessly and not support a ceasefire in Gaza.
It is our only hope.

In Parliament, I highlighted the need for strong leadership to tackle Islamophobia. The longer the Tories stay in power, the longer we have no leadership and no action on Islamophobia.
My constituents, and British Muslims across the country, deserve so much better.

RT by @Afzal4Gorton: MP @Afzal4Gorton reflects on the global work to tackle #islamophobia incl the UN Day, regrettably this is not reflected here in the UK. Sharing insights on discrimination Muslims face, urging again the @APPGBritMuslims to be adopted by the Government.

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Benjamin Zephaniah.
He was a committed anti-racist and a brilliant poet, and he will always be remembered not just for his beautiful poetry, but for his leadership. May he rest in peace.

The Govt has failed to listen to the families of Hillsborough victims.
My constituent Peter Weatherby drafted the Hillsborough law requiring the police to openly & fully assist in inquiries after major incidents. A Labour Government will deliver this.

RT by @Afzal4Gorton: A duty on all public bodies to be forthcoming with the truth is a basic requirement if justice is to be done in the wake of terrible events that scar communities.

That is why @UKLabour supports a duty of candour and the Hillsborough Law Now campaign.

It's heartbreaking to see the sheer scale of death & destruction in Gaza since the end of the temporary truce.
The whole of Gaza being relentlessly bombed - nowhere is safe for civilians. This cannot go on.
We need a full, permanent ceasefire now.

I was so sad yesterday to hear Glenys had passed away. We didn't overlap in Brussels, but Glenys was a legendary figure in the EPLP. Thoughts with Neil, Steve, Rachel and family.
Here's a photo from 2009 when Glenys and Neil joined our campaign to stop Nick Griffin and BNP 👇🏾

It's a privilege to be at COP28 this week to meet policymakers, campaigners, scientists, and more to discuss the climate crisis and how we can all work together to find real policy solutions. 🌍
I look forward to the session I am moderating this afternoon!
