What I do

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.

EXIT Casuals

Chatting to Hassan who owns EXIT Casuals on Streatham High Road – EXIT has been on Streatham High Street for 35 years!

Henry Cavendish Primary School

Good to be back at Henry Cavendish Primary School to meet with the school leadership and to the brilliant Year 6 students.

House of Commons - EU Withdrawal Bill

In Parliament for the debate on the EU (Withdrawal) Bill. If it becomes clear that Brexit will cause real damage to the UK we should be able to keep an open mind – Brexit can be paused or reversed if the British people want.

Remembrance Sunday

Every year on Remembrance Sunday I lay a wreath at the War Memorial alongside over 60 local organisations and groups – it is always a very moving ceremony. This year over 600 people turned out.

House of Commons - European Economic Area

In a debate on the UK’s membership of the European Economic Area, I argued that staying in the Single Market is the principal way that we can retain the economic benefits of our membership of the EU.
