As Chair of the APPG on Social Integration I welcomed the Government’s Integrated Communities Strategy which incorporates many key recommendations from our report into the integration of immigrants.

In the House of Commons I raised the severe disruption caused to my constituents by the loss of water supply during the cold snap, and called for a public inquiry into Thames Water’s shambolic handling of the situation.

I’ve signed this important Early Day Motion (EDM) expressing concern about insufficient funding for mental health services in South London, which has led to increased waiting lists for assessment and therapy.

As Co-Chair of the APPG on EU Relations I led a delegation to Paris to talk with France’s Secretary of State for EU Affairs, Economy Minister and Cabinet Office Minister.

‪Thanks to Divest Lambeth for coming to my advice surgery today to talk to me about their campaign for a fossil fuel free borough which I’m proud to support.‬

I’m proud to band together with CLIC Sargent for Young Lives vs Cancer on World Cancer Day. Get your Band Against Cancer now online or at your local Morrisons store.

With local GPs to discuss the amazing work local doctors are doing to ensure residents have the best quality care given the resources available.

Delighted to launch the Grassroots Coordinating Group – a coalition of pro-European and anti-hard Brexit organisation and politicians that will push for the public’s voice to be heard.

Along with over 50 cross-party MPs, I’ve written to urge David Davis MP to come clean and publish his analysis of what Brexit will mean financially for UK.
