Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) BillContribution
I am honoured to be the first person of Yemeni heritage and the first British Arab woman to be elected as a Member of Parliament. I am immensely proud of that honour, and I feel privileged to represent not just my constituency, but every person who has ever hoped for a better future. I have climbed personal mountains and faced many personal barriers and hurdles that have come my way, and not only have I had to overcome them, but I have fought for and helped many others along the way.
