The Government refuses: ❌A proper NHS pay rise ❌Long term support for those in need Yet hands out £900m in Covid contracts to Tory donors 💰 How many were fast-tracked because of connections? 🤔 It stinks of cronyism!! My speech upset the Tories 😬😬 but the truth hurts👇🏾 | Dawn Butler

On the last day of #BHM, I reflect on my speech during the House of Commons #BlackHistoryMonth debate — I spoke about our shared human origins in Africa which binds us. I wrote my own poem to reclaim the narrative. This poem is love speech. ❤️✊🏿 I want to say to all those who are Black 365 days a year well done for surviving another month, and thank you for all the EXTRA work you’ve done for free! ✊🏿🙌🏾🙏🏾 #blacklove #blackwork #blackexcellence #blackgirlmagic #blackculture #blackowned #blac

It's an honour to be re-elected as the MP for Brent East, who placed their faith in me to serve them in Parliament. I will always pledge my allegiance to my constituency first! I first entered Parliament under a Labour government and it's fantastic to be returned to one.🌹 | Dawn Butler

Still very thankful to everyone who voted for me as your MP. I’m ready to serve you again BRENT EAST! My commitment to politics has always been about serving the people. Together, we will forge change with our new Labour government🫡🌹💪🏾 | Dawn Butler

20 years ago I was elected as an MP in Brent. It’s been the honour of my life to speak truth to power, fight for fairness & give a voice to those too often ignored. 3rd Black woman ever elected and first to speak from the despatch box as a government minister. I’m more than humbled. | Dawn Butler
