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...

Labour has a plan to re-energise Britain’s economy.

We would secure the manufacturing of electric vehicles in Britain, creating at least 30,000 jobs, make electric vehicle ownership more affordable, and increase the number of street charging points.

Thank you kindly @seftonlabour for nominating me for the Labour NEC.

Came as a bit of a surprise because I'm not a candidate for it!

But if you've moved from Sefton to the South East, you will be able to vote for me and my colleagues standing for @UKLabour #NationalPolicyForum

Been a race to the bottom for years on pay, conditions & job security in aviation.

No wonder aviation workers sacked during the pandemic won’t go back.

Where was the plan for this key sector post pandemic? Where is the political accountability?
