@SangitaMyska Cook's speech was the *best* speech I have ever heard in Parliament. Made me want to stand as a candidate.

One of proudest days of my life. This weekend I graduated from Oxford University 🎓 This is an honour I had only ever dreamt of growing up. I guess dreams do come true… I’m grateful to Allah, my immensely supportive parents & my friends whose prayers and support made it possible ❤️ It has been the most remarkable journey of hard work, perseverance & resilience. I couldn’t be more grateful for this opportunity of a lifetime. Now, it’s time to use this education and experiences from Oxford to change the world. Thrilled to be moving to the next steps in my studies. Onwards & Upwards…

@jonathansimons I remember when I was double the age of my year 12s, and I reminisced about AS-levels in the year of their birth. Now it's third year undergrad, and somehow that doesn't make sense.

Horrendous realisation of the day as I’m wandering around a uni during graduation ceremonies and I work out I am (much) closer in age to the parents than the new grads…..

Child poverty scars lives and robs children of opportunity. That's why tackling it is at the heart of our mission to ensure background is no barrier to success. Alongside @LeicesterLiz, I am determined to remove the stain of child poverty from our country.
