It was great to speak at the Pakistan-UK Business Opportunities Conference in Manchester, as Chair of the APPG on Britain-Pakistan Trade and Tourism.
Establishing closer economic ties between our two great countries is vital, and I'm committed to encouraging this. 🤝🏾 https://t.co/2PvihunfHP

Kinship care provides a vital role in our society, yet 40% of kinship carers worry the lack of support may mean they have to stop caring for their kinship child.

The Tory record on trade is awful, so it’s long overdue to see progress on CPTPP accession, especially as it contains key allies and growing markets.
Ministers have made promises about striking a good deal-now they need to publish the full details before Parliament.

Re @UKLabour is pro-trade, pro-business &amp; pro-worker, determined to open up new markets.
However, on CPTPP Ministers need to now publish full details and give assurances on areas, including workers’ rights, safeguarding our NHS, consumer rights &amp; the environment

Re The Government’s own assessment says CPTPP is worth just 0.08% to UK GDP.
So Ministers also need to set out how this will help the economy and what support will be given to businesses to access any export opportunities.

Re The Government’s trade record is:
⁃OBR predict UK exports to fall by 6.6% in 2023, a hit of over £51bn
⁃No promised US or India trade deals
⁃Their own MPs criticising the Australia deal
This costs the UK growths and jobs - making the Tory economic crisis even worse.
