Four years ago, the Indian Government began its punitive crackdown on Jammu & Kashmir.
There is still no end in sight to the human rights abuses, internet blackouts and persecution of Kashmiris.

Labour values the vast contribution that Muslims, and other faith groups, make to our society.
Labour’s Race Equality Act will tackle forms of prejudice like Islamophobia at source.
And we will work to ensure Muslim people feel safe, secure and respected.

The Tories are letting criminals get away with crime as charge rates plunge after they cut police:
4% for burglary
5% for assault
1% for theft from a person
2% for vehicle theft
Only Labour will prevent crime, punish criminals and protect communities

Moss Side Labour: Fantastic to see the Newlyn/Chilworth St alleyway continue with their alleyway greening and gardening project with @CloudGardenerUK.
Councillors & @MCCMossSide have supported these residents for many years so it's great to see their success.

Re @talkcleanairWR 🚗By refusing to ban pavement parking, as is the case in London, the Government is making our streets unsafe & difficult for people with mobility issues.
I presented a petition to Parliament calling for a ban on pavement parking & will keep urging the Government to take action. https://t.co/8lMs4euwtq

Re @talkcleanairWR ⚖️ As Labour's Shadow Legal Aid Minister, I have exposing the disastrous impact of the Government's brutal cuts to legal aid, which has denied so many people access to justice over the last decade.
The Tories have broken our justice system. Only Labour can fix it. https://t.co/4YMeDX7F4v

Re @talkcleanairWR 🚅 The proposed closure of ticket offices at Gorton & Levenshulme stations will be to the detriment of my constituents.
I questioned the Government on why they are pursuing this against the interests of the public.

Re @talkcleanairWR 🧕 Islamophobia continues to plague British society, but the Tories neglect to tackle it.
I secured cross-party support against Islamophobia, hosted roundtables to discuss solutions & wrote about the impact of the Tories' inaction on stamping out hate.
