WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE

This site tells you a bit about me. I've been lucky enough to hold high office as a MP, and Tony Blair gave me the honour of becoming the UK's first government minister from the Sikh faith.

Through the roles I've had, both in and out of politics, I've been able to help get some good things done. Public service really matters to me. I chaired one of the biggest staff organisations in the NHS, I led the regeneration of the Gloucester Quays and I currently lead the campaign to build the world's largest privately financed infrastructure project, which is set to create 180,000 new jobs. Oh, and I've written a book, you can find out more on this site...

BBC – Big Dreams

The BBC once filmed a documentary about me and a small group of people they described (in their words!) as ‘trailblazers’ from working-class backgrounds. It was called Big Dreams.

Recently, a kind BBC producer came across a copy in the BBC archives and was good enough to send it on to me. This short extract touches on the dreams of my parents, the Southall race riots, and the role of my grandfather in the turbaned Sikh army that fought for King and Commonwealth during the war.

It also includes some wonderful footage of the people of Gloucester, who took a young underdog to their hearts and gave him the chance to fulfil some very big dreams.
