In Lewisham, we have a proud history of welcoming refugees and immigrants, so much so that we became the UK’s first Borough of Sanctuary.
My caseworkers and I have also supported many hundreds of people with their immigration applications since I was first elected in 2015.

This Gov will not give in to wealthy investors trying to lobby and dilute our manifesto commitment. Labour is fighting for leaseholders who have faced injustice for too long. Our priority is to make their life more affordable.

I signed the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Book of Commitment, pledging my dedication to marking Holocaust Memorial Day – honouring the 6 million Jewish people murdered during the Holocaust.
As fascism rises globally, this day reminds us why liberal democracy must be protected.

Brilliant to watch Channel4's 4Schools workshop with Year 9s at Addey and Stanhope last Friday.
The students were given the chance to explore careers in creative industries - in broadcast, film and digital - and even had a go at developing their own content ideas.

Pleased to see Trump has taken back his threat to impose tariffs on the UK and other European allies.
The UK will always stand up against this kind of bullyish and divisive behaviour. The future of Greenland is for its people to decide.

NHS waiting lists are down by more than 312,000 since Labour came into office.
Great to see what this means locally: @lgtnhs.bsky.social's waiting lists have fallen by 13,289.
There's still much to do, but pleased the Gov's investments are starting to pay off.

Over 400+ constituents have been in touch with me concerned about the harms of social media on young people.
I - alongside 60 other MPs - have now signed a letter urging the Prime Minister to raise the minimum age for access to social media platforms to 16 years old.

We all know the harm social media causes to young people's mental health.
The Labour Govt has acted significantly in recent months.
Today, 61 Labour MPs have written to the PM urging him to go further.
We back an Australia-style model that puts the onus on tech firms to block under 16s access.

An honour to attend the service to mark the 45th anniversary of the New Cross Fire yesterday.
As ever, the strength shown by the survivors & families & friends of the 14 young people who lost their lives - as well as the wider community - was incredible.
Thanks to St Andrew's Brockley for hosting.

After the Tories slashed funding for the Freedom Pass scheme, I'm proud to see Labour councillors protect this lifeline for 1.2 million over 65s.

Legislation to abolish the two-child benefit limit will be introduced to the House today.
This will help 64,980 households & 239,270 children in London.
Contrary to misinformation, the majority of families are working but are on low incomes & in need of additional support.

Did you know only 7% of landlords are advertising properties that accept pets? 🧵
Thanks to the Renters' Rights Act, it will now be easier for tenants to keep pets in rented homes as they will have the right to challenge landlords who unfairly refuse consent for pets to stay.
