On the 3rd anniversary of the October 7th Hamas terrorist atrocities, I'm reposting this thread that I wrote in the immediate aftermath:
I went to Kfar Aza twice this summer, in May and July taking Labour activists from the UK on study tours to Israel. Each time we were shown round by a bright and hilariously funny young Israeli woman, a former army medic. I have no idea if she is alive or dead.

Great meeting with @miskcity_ksa in #Riyadh. I’m blown away by the scale of ambition & what Sami and his team are doing.

Great trip to @LEAPandInnovate in Riyadh with Labour colleagues @ChrisWebbMP @ParmjitDhanda & @andyfenner81. We were on stage taking about business opportunities, AI & governance. Great to meet with Saudi Police, the British Embassy & the Misk Foundation.

Moderated a panel on AI & Smart Borders at @LEAPandInnovate in Riyadh. AI has stopped being a chatbot & started booking on our behalf. But it’s only worth building if it brings more people together. #LEAP26

Ask a ranger what they do, and you'll get a job description. Ask what it means to them, and you'll get something much bigger. This #WorldRangerDay2026, our rangers share it in their own words. What does a ranger mean to you? Share your thoughts using WhatDoesARangerMeanToMe. #SANParksRangers #SANParks #LiveYourWild

I’ve known @JohnHealey_MP for many years. Decent, straight-talking, honourable. Right calls on defence, he gets the £147bn visitor economy & he even mentions me in speeches! The UK is in good hands. @WYSETC stands ready to help.

An excellent appointment. John Healey is one of the best, delighted to see him back in Cabinet.
BREAKING: John Healey is Andy Burnham's surprise pick as chancellor, emerging as compromise candidate after Ed Miliband and Shabana Mahmood were both tipped. The former defence secretary - who was a Treasury minister under Gordon Brown - is seen as a safe pair of hands who will do new PM's bidding as chancellor.

Saddened by the passing of Cllr Shanika Mahendran. This pic is us out the cold & dark in winter 2021 before she was even elected, that was her commitment to her community. My thoughts are with her family, friends & her MK labour family. May her memory be a blessing.

Last week, I spoke in favour of the Labour Government's National Security (State Threats) Bill). This legislation gives the Government new powers to tackle hostile activity on behalf of hostile states, including Iran and Russia. Our Labour Government will always stand up for our national security.
