Please see the Government's response to the APPG on Kashmir's letter of 30th July, which I previously shared here, and the representations made by me and Imran Hussein MP. The Government is closely engaging with its Pakistani counterpart to express concern and monitor this matter. (1/2)

Postgraduate medical curricula in UK promise lots on anti-racism training but deliver little. Our new paper highlights the wide gap between the rhetoric and reality. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

How can Andy Burnham’s goal of good growth become a health-creating mission that supports environmental action? Andy Haines and I offer 5 ideas, all based on what already exists somewhere @bmj.com www.bmj.com/content/394/...

Molly's confidence really blossomed during the two weeks of my Summer School. I always like doing an 'ice breaker' exercise with my Summer School Students on the first day. It helps everyone get to know each other!

Some of the things I've done recently: - I was out all last week speaking to voters in Oldham East and Saddleworth in the run-up to the Greater Manchester Mayoral by-election. Fantastic result with Bev not only winning across Greater Manchester but also winning across Oldham.

🚨 NEW! Labour is changing the rail card rules so 18-year-olds can get half price train tickets. 🌹 With £2 fares and kids going free on buses this summer, Labour is providing families with the little bit of breathing space needed. - 📖 👉 Read more: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A wonderful group of young people joined me for my 13th annual #workingforyourcommunity #summerschool this year. A week packed with events at #OldhamTheatreWorkshop, #FCHO, @oldhamcouncil.bsky.social, #MediaCity, a visit to @ukparliament.parliament.uk, and so much more.

Had an absolutely fabulous time in #Uppermill to celebrate #yorkshireday2026 A big thank you to Saddleworth Round Table and Rotary Saddleworth for organising the day.

Many people will be aware of the deeply concerning humanitarian situation in Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Recent developments have seen peaceful protestors fired upon, causing deaths and injuries. Constituents of Kashmiri heritage will be particularly worried about the safety of family members there.

I have really enjoyed getting to know Summer School Students like Lucy.

#VoteBevCraig #POLLINGDAY #30July2026 #GreaterManchesterMayoralElections Thank you to my lovely team of volunteers for joining me in #Austerlands earlier this week campaigning for @bevcraig.bsky.social

It was my greatest pleasure to interview my dear friend #QaziMarziaBabakarkhail during Refugee Week about her new book. Marzia is right; Afghanistan, and particularly women living under the oppression of the Taliban, must not be forgotten.

A very positive knock in #Grotton Almost everyone we spoke to had already voted for @bevcraig.bsky.social #Unity #VoteForBevForUs

Fab to be joined by @labouruk.bsky.social GM Mayoral candidate @bevcraig.bsky.social for joining us in #Saddleworth yesterday. Thanks to all the volunteers from across #Oldham and #Saddleworth who came to campaign for Bev. One day to go! #Unity #VoteBevForUs

So lovely to hear such positive things about how enjoyable Summer School was for this year's cohort. I can't wait to hear what they are all doing in a year's time!

75 years ago, the world made a promise to protect people forced to flee war, violence and persecution. Today, 75 global voices; actors, musicians, politicians and celebrities stand in solidarity with the commitment to a world where: (1/4)

Another busy surgery; housing and universal credit being top issues. If you have any issues you want to raise with me please email me on abrahamsd@parliament.uk

Last week @cathynewman.bsky.social at @listentotimesradio.bsky.social interviewed me about Andy Burnham becoming the leader of the Labour Party

Day 4 at my Summer School for Young People! And a session on 'Press and Comms' with former BBC publicist #JohnRamsden As with any organisation or business communications are essential. I hope my Summer School Students found the session insightful. They certainly got creative!

The #WorkandPensionsCommittee has today published its report on 'Youth employment, education and training'. More than a million young people are not in employment, education, or training. We urge the Government to be bold, to reduce levels of NEETS, and tackle the drivers of future NEETs.

Some of the things I've done recently: - As Co-Chair of the Dementia APPG, I was delighted to host our Summer Meeting in Parliament.
