The volatile situation in the Middle East requires calm heads and a principled response. Ultimately, the future of Iran must be decided by the Iranian people, who have shown incredible courage in their long struggle for democracy and human rights. Genuine, lasting change can only come from within, it must be people-powered not missile-powered.
Across the Labour Party are hundreds of hardworking MPs, councillors and activists driven by a desire to serve their communities. We cannot allow scandals to overshadow the many who are committed to public service and delivering positive change. This morning, I spoke about why upholding our values is more important than ever.
The UK's multicultural society is one of our country's greatest triumphs, a source of immense strength and pride. Here in Tooting, our vibrant and diverse communities are the heart of what makes our area so special, enriching us all.
When we witness the vile killing of protestors, like those seen in the United States, it serves as a horrifying reminder that progress is never guaranteed and must always be defended. We must stand together against the politics of division and hate wherever it emerges. As I argued on ITV's Peston last night, our inclusivity is an incredible asset. I will always champion the tolerant, open, and vibrant society that embodies the very best of Britain and which we must never take for granted. Our differences do not divide us; they make our country stronger.
On ITV's Peston, I reflected on my upbringing with a Polish mother and Pakistani father who were warmly welcomed into the community. I believe it is crucial for us to learn from our diverse communities who embody cohesion so well. Divisive language unfortunately carries significant consequences, impacting the fabric of our society. I will always championed understanding, compassion and tolerance.
Today, I spoke with Andrew Marr on his radio show along with my Conservative colleague in the Commons, Roger Gale MP.
There is growing agreement from MPs across all parties that we must take strong action against the Israeli Government. The innocent women and children of Gaza cannot wait any longer. Action needed now.
It was a delight to join the Loose Women panel alongside the formidable Janet Street-Porter, Charlene White, Olivia Attwood and my friend Denise Welch for their Women’s Health Special today. We addressed some really key topics, including the importance of the HPV vaccine and smear testing, dementia and cancer. It is always a pleasure to join the show - many thanks for having me! 
As someone who grew up with and later overcame a stammer, I know all too well the difficulties and challenges that having one can bring. I was very glad and honoured to join Dermot and Alison on This Morning once again to talk about stammers and the wonderful work that Stamma charity do.
It was fantastic to join Dermot and Alison on the This Morning medical segment again; this time to talk about rashes and what to look out for.
Rashes can be difficult to see on darker skin tones and this can lead to delayed treatment and poorer outcomes, which is why it's especially important to be aware of the different symptoms and nuances.
I was thrilled to join Dermot O'Leary and Josie Gibson for the health segment on This Morning today to talk about working as an emergency doctor in the NHS and when to seek help.
Yes, A&E departments are under huge strain and pressure, but always remember - if you need help, we are here.
