Sonia Kumar MP for Dudley 🌹

Since 2024, this Labour Government has delivered stronger workers’ rights, Great British Energy, rail back into public ownership, renters’ rights and action on anti-social behaviour. The King’s Speech set out the next steps to rebuild Britain and for working people in Dudley.

Yesterday’s King’s Speech showed a Labour Government focused on jobs, opportunity and dignity. From the Youth Guarantee and apprenticeships to the Right to Try for disabled people, these measures will help people here in Dudley get on in life after years of Conservative failure.

Powerful speech @NazShahBfd and an inspiration for soo many!

Recently, my office helped a resident secure short-term care arrangements during difficult family circumstances. Following our intervention, a plan was agreed with the local authority and the resident was very grateful for the support. If you need help, please get in touch.

Off to the Palace to be the hostage while the King comes to Parliament to deliver his Speech. All part of Great British Pageantry

Just out of Cabinet and then the Middle East Response Committee. The impact of the conflict in Iran will be felt here at home at a time when we know the cost of living has been difficult for many. This Labour government is working hard to protect families and businesses from the economic shocks as much as we can. Serious times call for serious leadership, which is exactly what the Prime Minister is providing.

I am grateful to the people of Dudley for electing me. They elected me to make tough choices in the best interest of our country. This includes backing stability over chaos. Our focus should remain on the work the government was elected to do.

Appalling that Reform couldn’t condemn such racist remarks.

A devastating night in Birmingham and across the country. Good public servants, colleagues and friends have lost their seats. This was a verdict on us not them. The PM has rightly said we must do better. It is a privilege to serve the British people and we must live up to it.

@shuranjeetsingh Congratulations! 🌹

Me and Su Brooks are your new councillors for Soho and Jewellery Quarter Ward in Birmingham ❤️ We ran a positive, community-focused campaign and it resonated with so many residents ✅ We love Brum and we will fight for Brum, always 💫

Statement from me on yesterday’s local elections

Last week, my team gave me the most meaningful surprise: seeing my old Welsh teacher after 25 years. When we moved to Wales, we received a Welsh welcome: Mr Thomas’ kind belief, a nation growing economically, a community whose confident identity wrapped around us so warmly. Ahead of the most divisive Senedd elections in our history, the Wales that made me feels less certain. My hope: that we can return that same kindness to the centre of our national story.

Proud to support Jeff Ndlovu, Labour’s candidate for Gornal ward. Jeff is a hardworking local voice who will listen to residents, stand up for local services and fight for Gornal’s priorities. 🗳️ Vote Labour. Vote Jeff Ndlovu. 🌹
