A pleasure to talk to the Kings College Hospital BAME Network this morning. Very humbling to speak to a group of people who save lives everyday.
Streatham
Streatham is where I grew up, and is a vibrant, diverse, and growing community. It is tied together by Streatham High Road, an important business hub and Europe’s longest High Street. Streatham has benefited from its diversity with a growing cultural scene including film, food, and arts festivals supported by the inStreatham business improvement district.
In the House of Commons I asked Government Ministers what the solution is to avoiding a hard border on the island of Ireland after Brexit. This issue has still not been settled.
In the Commons I warned that our services sector risks being left out and left behind by this Government because of reduce access to EU markets.
Our diversity is our strength and we should celebrate this today and every day. I’m proud to support our LGBT community and want to wish everyone a very happy Pride.
Celebrating the NHS’ 70 birthday at Gracefield Gardens Health Centre in Streatham. The NHS represents the best of Britain and needs a long term, sustainable plan to fund it well into the future.
Fantastic turnout at the My Life My Say Democracy Cafe today. Young people’s voices must be heard in the Brexit process – they will have to live with the consequences far longer than any other group.
I’ve added my name to this important Early Day Motion (EDM) which calls on all public institutions to fully adopt and implement the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism.
I spoke at Streatham Action’s public meeting on the challenges of knife crime and youth violence. Good to see the community coming together to discuss what we can all do to end this waste of young lives.
Looking round this great “Voice & Vote: Women’s Place in Parliament” exhibition in Westminster Hall that highlights the campaign for votes for women. We’ve come a long way but there is a lot more still to do.
I’m supporting Holly Lynch MP’s bill to extend the Living Wage to young people. Your wage shouldn’t be based on your age!
Today I asked the Prime Minister whether she would commit to introducing a scheme to help families move between social housing providers to protect teenagers against youth violence.
I visited Kaz Odutayo at Pause coffee shop in Streatham station to talk about the challenges the business faces and why the local community should come together to Save Our Shop!
