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.

Vote Leave Watch pamphlet

I published a pamphlet outlining why London needs the Single Market and the Customs Union – we need the most prosperous and equal future for our city and country.

David Harewood

Bumped into actor and Streatham resident David Harewood whilst out speaking with constituents this evening!

Train

Catching up on some paperwork on the train back from Westminster to Streatham. Looking forward to getting out on the doorstep tonight to talk with local residents.

Lambeth Youth Council

Talking about political engagement, votes at 16, electoral reform and Brexit with members of the Streatham Youth Council.

Met Police changes

I’ve written to the Police Commissioner to urge a rethink on police changes. With the troubling rise in youth violence and other crimes we need a dedicated Police Commander based in here.

Home Affairs Select Committee - Social media platforms

Social media platforms should be a safe space from threats and abuse, but too often that is not he case. I challenged social media companies on what they are doing to stop people profiting from hate and abuse.

Refugee crisis

Speaking with local religious leaders about the ongoing global refugee crisis and what we can do locally to help support those in need.

Budget

Looking at the figures behind the soundbites of this year’s Budget to see how the people of Streatham and working people across the UK will really be hit.

EDM - 1000 Cineworld Cinemas and the Living Wage

Following concerns about the treatment of staff by Cineworld Cinemas I have added my name to this Early Day Motion (EDM) calling on them to pay all staff the Living Wage.

UK Youth Parliament and electoral reform

Really interesting listening to Members of the UK Youth Parliament talk about their views on our current voting system and how we can reform it to ensure that all votes count equally.

JAGS Foundation

This month marks 10 years since the murder of James Andre Smartt-Ford at Streatham ice rink. The JAGS Foundation are working hard to stop youth violence – check out their website to learn about their work.

APPG Social Integration - Dagenham visit

Fantastic joining Jon Cruddas MP and councillors to talk about immigration with local residents for the APPG on Social Integration’s inquiry.
