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...

I am self isolating after testing positive for COVID.

Today, @RachelReevesMP and @Ed_Miliband held the Conservatives to account over their failures to tackle the climate crisis and to create an economy fit for the future.

Only Labour stands up for working people.

Caribbean & Singh Sabha FC met to raise money for charity & celebrate the lives of former team mates Abrar, Micky & Alex who succumbed to the disease

If we can see far today, its because we were able to stand on shoulders of giants like Marj Penn

Lucky to have played for both.
