What I do

Clapham

The Streatham constituency contains the eastern side of Clapham across to the Common itself, including Clapham Park Estate, Lambeth Academy, and Thornton.

Clapham is a vibrant community and has undergone significant regeneration and investment in housing and on the high street in recent years. The Common remains a popular destination for tourists and locals.

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.

Social Integration APPG interim report

I chaired an All Party Parliamentary Group on Social Integration meeting to continue working on our interim report on intergenerational connections.

Attended Serious Violence Taskforce Meeting

I attended a meeting of the Home Secretary’s Serious Violence Taskforce, to bring local concerns and expertise to policy on youth violence and knife crime.

Remain Labour Rally in Parliament

The divisiveness of another referendum campaign will be nothing compared to the divisiveness of falling out of the EU without a deal. Proud to speak to a gathering of People’s Vote supporters in Labour.

Government defeated on the Finance Bill

I voted with opposition parties and Tory rebels to force government to take steps to stop a No Deal Brexit in amendments to the Finance Bill.

No Deal Meeting with Theresa May

Colleagues from across the House of Commons and I held a meeting with the Prime Minister following a cross party letter calling on government to rule out a No Deal Brexit.

Prostate Cancer UK card

Love the Christmas card from Prostate Cancer UK. I’m proud to be one of their patrons and to support their vital work.

Young Fabians 'A Nation Divided' pamphlet

Delighted to receive my copy of the Young Fabians ‘A Nation Divided’ pamphlet on social, economic, and cultural integration – including my forward on immigration and integration.

House of Commons - PM Statement

In the House of Commons this afternoon I told the Prime Minister that her Brexit deal has no chance of passing and that only a People’s Vote can break the impasse.

Archdeacon of Lambeth

In Streatham to catch up with Simon Gates, Archdeacon of Lambeth, and talk about the work of our ⁦local Church of England⁩ churches.
