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.

Clapham Park Estate

With local councillors to meet Metropolitan Housing Trust to discuss the regeneration plans of the Clapham Park Estate. It is a fantastic opportunity but concerns from local residents must be heard.

La Retraite Roman Catholic Girls' School

Inspiring to meet and chat with the La Retraite School’s journalism club today. They thought that it was hilarious I got my first mobile at the age of 19!

EDM - 1000 Cineworld Cinemas and the Living Wage

Following concerns about the treatment of staff by Cineworld Cinemas I have added my name to this Early Day Motion (EDM) calling on them to pay all staff the Living Wage.

UK Youth Parliament and electoral reform

Really interesting listening to Members of the UK Youth Parliament talk about their views on our current voting system and how we can reform it to ensure that all votes count equally.

Westminster Hall - Blacklisting in the construction industry

I led a Westminster Hall debate on the insidious practice of blacklisting which has brought shame on our construction industry. I called on the Government to hold a full public inquiry into this issue.

House of Commons - Amendment to Article 50 Bill

Putting my amendment to the Article 50 Bill which calls on the Prime Minister to honour the pledge made by Vote Leave campaigners – including Cabinet ministers – to give our NHS an extra £350m per week.

Crystal Palace FC Foundation

It was great to visit the Crystal Palace FC Foundation yesterday to see all the work they do and the future community outreach projects they have planned.

House of Commons - Article 50 Bill

Today the Government published their Article 50 Bill. I’m working with colleagues to ensure that the voice of the people is heard so that we get a deal that works for everyone.

Streatham Job Centre

Visited Streatham Job Centre today. A big thanks to the staff there for all the hard work they do to support people back into work.

APPG Social Integration - BBC Local Radio

Talking to BBC Radio about the APPG on Social Integration’s interim report on the integration of immigrants – we’re calling for a regional-led immigration system and more support for migrants to learn English.
