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.

Filling Station

Dropped in on The Filling Station for my morning coffee, another great local business on Streatham High Road and a favourite of mine!.

Children's Mental Health EDM

I signed EDM 2285 calling for a new Mental Health Bill to tackle the needs of children with mental health needs.

Denied My Vote

Following the huge number of EU Citizens who were denied their right to vote on polling day, I have written to the Cabinet Office calling on government to take responsibility and set out plans to prevent it ever happening again.

Woodmansterne

I visited Woodmansterne school and children’s centre to talk to students about politics, and take a tour of the great new buildings and facilities for pupils.

Mental Health PQs

On Mental Health Week, I have tabled a series of questions to ask government what it is doing to safeguard the mental health of visa applicants, civil servants, and school children.

I have written to Ministers following the publication of the APPG for Social Integration’s interim report on healing the generational divide, calling on government to participate in the inquiry and act to build bridges between the generations.

APPG Bath Report Launch

The All Party Parliamentary Group on Social Integration, which I chair, launched its interim report on how we heal the generational divide and tackle polarisation and loneliness.

Mental Health Week

I support the Mental Health Foundation’s work on Mental Health Week. The theme this year is #BeBodyKind encouraging us all to think about body image issues and how they effect our mental wellbeing.

Istanbul Convention

I signed EDM 2328 calling for the UK Government to adopt the Council of Europe’s Istanbul convention on violence against women and domestic violence. More must be done to protect victims.
