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.

Wandsworth Oasis

I visited Wandsworth Oasis, a great local charity and shop which raises money for people living with HIV. They do great work and are a great local business!

Streatham Wells school visit

I sat down with Year 5s at Streatham Wells school about my role as an MP and to answer their questions after meeting the Headteacher Louise.

Refugee Resettlement Schemes EDM

This Refugee Week I’ve added my name to Tim Farron MP’s motion to ensure that the UK fulfils our commitment to refugee resettlement and accept more child refugees fleeing violence over the next ten years.

Prompt Payment Code

I challenged the Government to make the Prompt Payment Code mandatory for large businesses to help and support SMEs who are worst affected by late payments.

Earnings threshold

I asked the Government if they will rethink their proposed earnings threshold that will impact on the ability to retain and attract NHS staff.

Social Integration APPG

I chaired a really interesting meeting of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Social Integration looking at generational divide and today the impact of technology on isolation and mental health.

Perfect Blend

I visited Perfect Blend in Streatham Hill to discuss the local economy and health of the High Road with manager Ben. One of our many great small businesses on the High Road.

Order Paper Take Over vote

I voted for a motion to take over the Order Paper to prevent a future Conservative PM from forcing through a No Deal Brexit against Parliament’s will, which was unfortunately defeated.

Tribe

Visiting Streatham’s newest addition to the High Street, Tribe! A brand new vegan cafe, juice bar and co-working space right next to Streatham Hill station. Check them out!

Filling Station

Dropped in on The Filling Station for my morning coffee, another great local business on Streatham High Road and a favourite of mine!.

Children's Mental Health EDM

I signed EDM 2285 calling for a new Mental Health Bill to tackle the needs of children with mental health needs.

Denied My Vote

Following the huge number of EU Citizens who were denied their right to vote on polling day, I have written to the Cabinet Office calling on government to take responsibility and set out plans to prevent it ever happening again.
