Today is the first National Fishing Remembrance Day and a chance to remember those who went to sea but never came home.

Since 2017 I’ve argued for better vessel stability, more lifejackets and personal locator beacons and faster response times to emergencies at sea.

Congratulations Switzerland. A decent tune and a worthy winner. #Eurovision2024

Nearly 30k personnel waiting for dental treatment is the latest example of how the Tories have failed our forces over the last 14 years.

Labour will legislate to establish an Armed Forces Commissioner to act as an independent champion for our troops.

Tonight is #Eurovision . Bloody love it. No live tweeting each act from me tonight sadly.

Enjoy. Come together. Celebrate what we have in common, no what divides us and good luck to the UK entry olly alexander. Have fun! 🇬🇧

I’m an Atlanticist, who believes fundamentally in the bond between the UK and the US.

But I passionately believe Britain can do more with America to deliver economic, climate and national security.

Enjoyed sitting down with The Times and The Sunday Times in Washington DC 👇🏿

Northern Lights in Moor View last night ✨ #Plymouth

The state of the economy is about so much more than lines on a graph. It's about working people feeling better off.

No more gimmicks.

Labour will stop the chaos. Labour will bust the backlogs. Labour will rebuild our broken asylum system.

Good to see Plymouth Labour delivering a greener city👇

Labour will stop the Tory boats chaos, bust the backlogs, and rebuild our broken asylum system.

People have a right to expect security at our borders.

When I was the country’s chief prosecutor, we smashed terrorist gangs abroad.

Dangerous boat crossings undermine our border security & put lives at risk.

That’s why Labour is tomorrow setting out new plans to strengthen our border security & smash criminal gang networks. Instead of the failing Conservative gimmicks, we need a proper grip.

Enjoyed Analogue from Rambert tonight in the West End.

Dating a dancer means you get taken to see some incredible shows and tonight was superb. Precision, movement and energy. Really enjoyed it.

Derriford Hospital is under incredible strain, having declared five critical incidents already in 2024.

We cannot keep going on like this in Plymouth.

That's why today in Parliament I called for a debate on healthcare in Plymouth and what can be done to support our hospital.

Good to hear Labour’s Shadow Leader of the Commons Lucy Powell MP call for veterans’ ID cards to be added to the list of acceptable ID for voting.

Ministers must act.

Five things that would cost you less than Rishi Sunak is spending to send someone to Rwanda 👇

I’m a signed up fan of Dave Trigger. A man with a real passion for Devonport.
