What I do

Tulse Hill

The Streatham constituency contains large parts of Tulse Hill. It is a close-knit community, exemplified by exciting community projects on the Tulse Hill Estate and work of the City Heights E-ACT Academy.

Serious Violence Taskforce

I've come out of a meeting with the PM's staff – the vacuum of leadership has never been more clear

Constructive meeting with the government and People’s Vote MP supporters. An opportunity to present our case, and Ministers acknowledged an A50 extension could only be for explicit purpose, not just indecision.

Vote on May's Brexit Deal

I voted against Theresa May’s Brexit deal in the Commons, helping to inflict a historic defeat. We now need a People’s Vote.

People's Vote January Rally

It was a pleasure to address the People’s Vote campaign’s Decision Day Live rally in Parliament Square, ahead of the vote on May’s Brexit deal. It is the only way to avoid a No Deal Brexit and break the impasse.

Social Integration APPG interim report

I chaired an All Party Parliamentary Group on Social Integration meeting to continue working on our interim report on intergenerational connections.

Attended Serious Violence Taskforce Meeting

I attended a meeting of the Home Secretary’s Serious Violence Taskforce, to bring local concerns and expertise to policy on youth violence and knife crime.

Remain Labour Rally in Parliament

The divisiveness of another referendum campaign will be nothing compared to the divisiveness of falling out of the EU without a deal. Proud to speak to a gathering of People’s Vote supporters in Labour.

I voted with opposition parties and Tory rebels to force government to take steps to stop a No Deal Brexit in amendments to the Finance Bill.
