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.
