What I do

Brixton

The Streatham constituency contains the southern part of Brixton. It has a longstanding reputation as a vibrant cultural and creative hub, and has also seen significant transformation and investment. Windrush Square is named after the Windrush generation – who settled in Brixton after arriving in the UK as it had the labour exchange which was closest to the accommodation provided to migrants in Clapham – and is home of the Black Cultural Archives.

Brexit Amendment

Anna Soubry and I tabled this important amendment to the PM’s Brexit motion that would force Ministers to publish the most recent Cabinet briefing on the affects of a ‘no deal’ Brexit on business & trade.

Thanking staff at the People’s Vote campaign for all their hard work and dedication over the last 10 months. My constituents want the people to get the final say on Brexit!

Serious Violence Taskforce

Today I attended another Serious Violence Taskforce meeting at the Home Office. I’m making sure those affected by knife crime and youth violence are heard at the top tables of government.

I've come out of a meeting with the PM's staff – the vacuum of leadership has never been more clear

Constructive meeting with the government and People’s Vote MP supporters. An opportunity to present our case, and Ministers acknowledged an A50 extension could only be for explicit purpose, not just indecision.

Vote on May's Brexit Deal

I voted against Theresa May’s Brexit deal in the Commons, helping to inflict a historic defeat. We now need a People’s Vote.

People's Vote January Rally

It was a pleasure to address the People’s Vote campaign’s Decision Day Live rally in Parliament Square, ahead of the vote on May’s Brexit deal. It is the only way to avoid a No Deal Brexit and break the impasse.
