What I do

Balham

The Streatham constituency contains significant residential areas of Balham. It has been a centre of the Polish community in London since World War II, but also has significant Irish, Portuguese, Somali, Brazilian and Pakistani communities.

People's Vote petition

Outside 10 Downing Street to deliver the People’s Vote Final Say petition which now has over 1 million signatures! No one voted for this mess which is why we need a People’s Vote with Remain on the ballot.

Sixth Form Conference

A pleasure to talk at the Sixth Form Politics Conference in Westminster Central Hall this afternoon. I couldn’t leave before asking who in the hall supported a People’s Vote!

Christmas Lights Switch-on

Brilliant to switch on the Streatham Christmas Lights with local resident and actress Catherine Russell, the Lord Mayor of Lambeth, and Santa!

People's Vote postcards

Loads of constituents writing to support a People’s Vote! I’m strongly in favour of a People’s Vote, with the option to remain, and will do everything I can to ensure that the people get their say.

EDM 1726 Saudi Arabia

I have signed this Early Day Motion (EDM) condemning Saudi Arabia’s violations of international humanitarian law in Yemen, and calling for the end of British arms sales to the country immediately.

Remembrance Sunday

Huge turnout at our Remembrance Sunday Service. I laid a wreath, along with over 60 community organisations, in honour of those who fought and died so we could be free.

Spires

‪It was a pleasure to catch up with the team at Spires. They do a very important job helping people struggling with issues such as homelessness, insecure housing, mental health and poverty in Lambeth. ‬

At PMQs I raised the problems facing the Black Cultural Archives – the only national heritage centre dedicated to preserving the histories of black people in our country – and called for the Government to provide the funding it desperately needs.

EDM 1741 Universal Credit

I’ve signed Caroline Lucas’s Early Day Motion 1741 (EDM) which condemns the cruel treatment of those on Universal Credit, and calling for intervention to protect those with disabled children who are affected.
