As #Slough MP and Chair of the #SouthEast All-Party Parliamentary Group and Parliamentary Labour Party, I’m committed to championing local #businesses.

Happy to share that the government @britishbusinessbank South East Investment Fund will help ambitious smaller firms access £210 million of #finance to scale, invest and create jobs. by @tandhesi

What role does #Parliament play in shaping #SocialPolicy?

I explored that with #Professor Barn and #students at @royalholloway during a lecture and Question & Answer session.

Excellent discussion and questions, and I hope some of them will be inspired to go into public service. by @tandhesi

Enjoyed attending melodious @tdedionysus’ #concert, inspired by world-renowned local astronomer William Herschel, at St Mary’s Church, and say a few words.

#Slough has a rich culture and history; so privilege to celebrate the arts and talented people who bring us all together.🎶 by @tandhesi

Another #SundayMorning when my hardworking team and I were there to #help people in #Slough with our regular MP advice surgery. by @tandhesi

The #RoyalNavy seriously lacks resources to counter rising #threats, as shown by our thorough #Defence Committee #HighNorth report.

That’s why we’re right and have been warning consistently not to kick the can down the road, but urgently #InvestNow!

Every taxpayer pound spent on #defence must count!

Not only will the @ukcommonscommittees Defence Committee be advocating for more urgent #investment, but we’ll also be holding the Ministry of Defence to account by examining the evidence closely and ensuring #ValueForMoney. by @tandhesi

The evidence is hitting us hard in our face!

That’s why the #Defence Committee has been warning for over a year now that, rather than delaying decisions, we need to chart a path to 3% GDP spend and #invest properly now in our nation’s security.

The #UK must face a hard truth: despite raised #threats, we don’t currently have all the capabilities needed to operate effectively in the #HighNorth.

@the.independent, we’re exposed - that's why our new #Defence Committee report calls for urgent action.

#Spain and the #UK are very close historic allies, so it was a delight to host the #Spanish Ambassador in Parliament for a valuable discussion on our shared #security challenges and how we can deepen our #defence cooperation.🇬🇧🇪🇸 by @tandhesi

Trillions of transactions pass through #cables running from London, through my Slough constituency and across the Atlantic. Damage to them would hit hard our economy and way of life.

Our new #Defence Committee #HighNorth report is clear, @piercetoryboy: we need deterrence now. by @tandhesi

#Russia is mapping the undersea cables and critical infrastructure that we depend on.

Our new #Defence Committee report on the #HighNorth is clear, miriamcates_mp: to deter that activity, we need to urgently invest in #ships and #submarines. by @tandhesi

While defence featured in today’s Budget announcement, the Defence Committee members and Chair @tandhesi were disappointed to see key decisions on defence spending delayed until next year’s spending review.

There is a cost to inaction.
