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.

Career Ear

I met with Claudine Adeyemi, founder of Career Ear, an app which connects young people with professionals to ask career-related questions.

Blackbird Bakery

I visited Blackbird Bakery during Streatham Food Festival to talk all things food and business with staff and try for myself some of the fantastic local food available on Streatham High Road.

Wandsworth Oasis

I visited Wandsworth Oasis, a great local charity and shop which raises money for people living with HIV. They do great work and are a great local business!

Streatham Wells school visit

I sat down with Year 5s at Streatham Wells school about my role as an MP and to answer their questions after meeting the Headteacher Louise.

Refugee Resettlement Schemes EDM

This Refugee Week I’ve added my name to Tim Farron MP’s motion to ensure that the UK fulfils our commitment to refugee resettlement and accept more child refugees fleeing violence over the next ten years.

Prompt Payment Code

I challenged the Government to make the Prompt Payment Code mandatory for large businesses to help and support SMEs who are worst affected by late payments.

Earnings threshold

I asked the Government if they will rethink their proposed earnings threshold that will impact on the ability to retain and attract NHS staff.

Social Integration APPG

I chaired a really interesting meeting of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Social Integration looking at generational divide and today the impact of technology on isolation and mental health.

Perfect Blend

I visited Perfect Blend in Streatham Hill to discuss the local economy and health of the High Road with manager Ben. One of our many great small businesses on the High Road.

Order Paper Take Over vote

I voted for a motion to take over the Order Paper to prevent a future Conservative PM from forcing through a No Deal Brexit against Parliament’s will, which was unfortunately defeated.

Kings Avenue school visit

I welcomed pupils from Kings Avenue school to Parliament before their tour and took their questions about Parliament, politics, and Streatham.

Tribe

Visiting Streatham’s newest addition to the High Street, Tribe! A brand new vegan cafe, juice bar and co-working space right next to Streatham Hill station. Check them out!
