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.

Labour IN for Britain phonebank

Calling residents to talk about why I think that Britain is stronger, safer and better off as a member of the European Union.

Stronger IN campaigning

Today I joined activists from across London to campaign to keep Britain in the European Union which will protect the jobs, rights and opportunities for people in Streatham and across the UK.

UNISON's Black Members Reception

Enjoyed speaking at UNISON’s Black Members Reception in the House of Commons – great to catch up with so many friends and hear lots of support for keeping Britain in the EU.

APPG Social Integration – Launch

Today I’ve launched the new APPG on Social Integration to explore how we can build a more integrated Britain.

National Apprenticeship Week

Hosting Lambeth’s Apprenticeship Ambitions Conference aimed at raising the profile of apprenticeships in our borough.

Streatham Festival

Pleased to welcome the organisers of the Streatham Festival to Parliament for a reception to thank them for their hard work putting on the festival every year.

Patchwork Foundation

Chatting with the Patchwork crew who were visiting Parliament. The Patchwork Foundation is a great organisation that aims to promote the integration of under-represented communities.

House of Commons - Youth violence

I led the first ever debate on gang and serious youth violence. I called on the Government to establish an independent cross-party commission to identify solutions to youth violence including knife crime.

Westminster Hall - Lambeth County Court

In an important Westminster Hall debate on the proposed closure of Lambeth County Court I raised concerns about the possible impact on residents in Streatham.

London South Bank University

Interesting visit to London South Bank University to see some of the groundbreaking technologies being developed there.

Crystal Palace FC Foundation

It’s been great fun joining the Crystal Palace FC Foundation’s Stockwell project for one of their sessions for young people.

House of Commons - Cost of Public Transport

In a debate on the cost of public transport I argued that the cost of travelling to and from Streatham on Govia Thameslink is unacceptable given the dreadful service that commuters receive.
