I am horrified by the school shooting in British Colombia and the lives cruelly taken.
As the Chair of the APPG on Canada, my thoughts remain with the families and loved ones of those killed and injured. The UK stands alongside our Canadian friends as they mourn this awful tragedy.

This Labour Government will back young people at every step.
A new guarantee will mean more placements for those out of work and education for 18+ months, plus a bold skills target: 2/3 of young people in uni, further education or gold-standard apprenticeships.
Thanks for coming to Warwick, Lucy!
Good to be with the newly formed Warwick Labour Club and local members from the area with @mattwestern.bsky.social yesterday.
We need to be attracting new young members to Labour, and that's something I'll prioritise.
Great news! The new lifts at Warwick Station are finally open! A meaningful upgrade for thousands of travellersāthanks to the tireless work of Cllr John Holland. With over half a million passengers last year, this will help thousands travelling by train
Welcome news from Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) this week that Range Rover production has resumed in Solihull, with around 6,500 employees back at work.
JLR is not only a major employer in Warwick and Leamington, but its supply chain supports tens of thousands more jobs.
Itās National Curry Week! Warwick & Leamington are packed with renowned curry houses serving authentic, award-winning dishes.
I dropped by Warwick Spice to mark their upcoming 25th anniversary, so why not support local businesses and enjoy a great curry this weekend.
Further to the letter I posted on 4th October, I am pleased to include additional signatories from faith and community leaders in Warwick and Leamington.
Last week's deplorable attack on members of the Jewish community have no place in the UK. We stand in solidarity with those all those affected.
Let us hope this is real.
Today marks two years since Hamasās atrocious attacks on Israel, which killed 1,200 people and saw 251 taken hostage. It also marks two years of Gazaās devastation, with more than 67,000 dead.
Let us hope that these coming days will bring lasting peace and security in the Middle East.
While JLR faced financial meltdown after a cyber-attack, Reform UKās County Council Leader didnāt meet with them once.
No support, no leadership.
Instead, just posts about flags, āwokeā sixth forms & party politics. Those affected by this cyber-attack deserve better.
Again, Kemi Badenoch has made a decision that flies in the face of economic logic and public opinion.
The UK must continue to lead the green transition, not abandon it.
Thatās why Iāve written to the SoS, urging him to double down on the UKās commitment to the green transition.
In the wake of Thursdayās appalling attack on the Heaton Park Synagogue, I join with faith and community leaders from across Warwick and Leamington to stand in solidarity with our Jewish neighbours.
Hate has no place in our society. We must always speak out against it.
I am horrified by the attack on the Heaton Park Synagogue.
There is absolutely no place for violence and antisemitism in our society.
I stand in full solidarity with the Jewish community, both here in Warwick and Leamington and across the UK.

Reform UK has removed the Ukrainian flag from Warwickshire County Councilās head office.
Itās a blinkered and shameful decision. Standing with those displaced by war isnāt optional, it is a moral obligation.
Reform should stand with Ukraine and reverse this disgraceful decision
We promised to chase down the COVID FRAUDSTERS!
The consortium closely connected to Baroness Mone has just been ordered to pay the UK Government £122m for breaching its PPE contract.
This is a resounding win and evidence that the Tories served themselves, not the country.
I want to thank the organisations that met with me at this yearās Labour Conferenceš¹
It was great to hear about the vital work that organisations like Guide Dogs UK, National Grid, and the Motability Scheme are doing to support communities in Warwick and Leamington.
Wishing all those in the Jewish community across Warwick & Leamington, the UK, and around the world observing Yom Kippur a meaningful and easy fast.

Earlier this year, Farage said Jaguar Land Rover ādeservedā to go bust. Ignorant and deeply damaging nonsense.
Now, after a crippling cyber-attack, thousands of workers across the UK are affected.
Iāve written to the Government and asked Reform UKās Cllr Finch what support heās offering.
