Parmjit Dhanda

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...

Great to hear @JimfromOldham speaking to @ParmjitDhanda & @BackHeathrow. Clear that he gets the vital role international travel plays in the economy & the UK's place in the world. Lots of alignment on immediate needs with today's @London_First report: https://www.londonfirst.co.uk/sites/default/files/documents/2021-02/Beyondthehorizonfinal.pdf

Our thoughts are with Alisson Becker and his family this morning after his father tragically passed away. He drowned in a lake near his holiday home in Brazil yesterday. 🙏

Heartbreaking. 💔

This might make sense if Starmer had been attacking "the left" for being leftwing. But he hasn't. He's simply followed the moral necessity to tackle antisemitism, legally demanded by the EHRC, & in response the Hard Left have declared war on him.
