On International Workers’ Day, we pay tribute to the generations of workers and trade unionists who fought for our rights at work. As the Employment Rights Minister and a proud trade unionist, I’m proud to stand with workers today and every day🌹

Take a look at Parliament behind the scenes 🏛️ Alongside publishing the report with recommendations for restoring and renewing the home of Parliament, co-Chair of the Board, Judith Cummins MP explains why preserving this UNESCO World Heritage Site for future generations matters.

This morning, many of Holmewood's fantastic community groups welcomed Baroness Armstrong, Chair of @iconeighbours to tell our story and share our ambitions for the future. Proud and delighted to lead the conversation!

🌧 Out in all weather! Thank you to everyone who took time to speak to us on the doorstep in Wyke this morning!

It has been a busy first week in Parliament after the Summer recess! Here are a few things I've done this week working for Bradford. And, on Friday and over the weekend, I was out visiting local groups and businesses, and speaking to local residents. Take a look 👇

We are urging the Government to stand firm against Tory and Lib Dem amendments and deliver the Employment Rights Bill in full usdaw.org.uk/latest-news/em…

A huge thank you to everyone who helped out at my latest community clean up. This time, we were in St Mary's, Wyke! What a great showing from local residents, @WYP_BradfordS, @bradfordmdc, @IncommunitiesHA and local councillors. It makes a massive difference! Thank you, everyone!

What an amazing day! An enormous thank you to everyone involved in making the @hopenothate Fun Day at @OfficialBullsRL Odsal Stadium such a huge success. Great to see so many people having fun and all the groups from Bradford South that have been involved!

@Bradford_TandA That’s not a picture of the site!

Ninety-seven years today since women won the vote on equal terms with men. Today there are 263 women MPs in Parliament - including all three Deputy Speakers. This morning, @CentenaryAction organised a commemorative photo, with sashes by @RemakeNewport.

We launched our #MensHealthLounge in Parliament, a powerful exhibition sponsored by @JudithCummins. Thanks to our amazing speakers & ambassadors. Men are dying too young, often in silence. It’s time to act. Have your say. Fill in the survey for the Men’s Health Strategy: consultations.dhsc.gov.uk/mens-health-st… with @DamianHinds, @DHSCGovUk, David Baines MP and Anil Toraty

Usdaw has today announced the election of its first ever female general secretary, Joanne Thomas @tjoanne881 usd.aw/3G6efku

Nigel Farage’s Reform are soft on Russia, voted against your rights at work, and want to sell off the NHS. They’re no friend to working people. When they bring division and hate, we must choose solidarity and hope.

I met with Kit from @stjohnambulance to hear how their 'Switch on to Spiking' campaign is aiming to teach 15,000 young people how to recognise and respond to spiking. We also spoke about training the nation on first aid and ensuring accessibility to life-saving defibrillators.

Thank you! It is the privilege of my life to be re-elected to represent and serve the people of Bradford South. Thank you to all the staff who have been involved in making our democracy work over the last six weeks.

Tomorrow could be the final day of Tory chaos - but only if you vote for it. Vote Labour.

If you ever needed any motivation to vote, tomorrow we can get rid of Jacob Rees Mogg. Delighted to be with @votedannorris today, a fantastic Labour candidate for North East Somerset and Hanham. Vote Labour. Get Moggxit Done.

Change will only happen if you vote for it tomorrow.
