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.

Lambeth Equality Commission

A privilege to chair Lambeth’s Equality Commission public meeting in Streatham last night – it was the biggest turnout at a commission meeting so far – lots of really interesting conversations.

APPG Social Integration - Interim report into integration of immigrants

Today I launched the APPG on Social Integration’s Interim Report into Integration of Immigrants that calls for a meaningful integration programme which works for all parts of the UK.

APPG Social Integration – Interim report into the integration of immigrants speech

On the No.12 bus putting the finishing touches to my speech to launch the APPG on Social Integration’s interim report into the integration of immigrants.

Visiting flooding victims

Visiting constituents who have been flooded from the burst water main on Leigham Vale – including the amazing Sidney Carter who told me about his life in Jamaica before moving to the UK in the 1950s.

Clapham Park Foodbank

I dropped off some food at Clapham Park foodbank. It is a damning indictment of six years of Tory government that, in one of the wealthiest cities in the world, constituents of mine have to rely on food banks.

School Christmas Fairs

Loved visiting primary schools across Streatham for their annual Christmas Fairs.

Employment tribunal fees

Speaking out against employment tribunal fees that are denying thousands of people access to justice in the workplace.

EDM - 775 Children's Funeral Costs

I’ve added my name this Early Day Motion (EDM) which highlights the real financial burden of children’s funerals on bereaved parents, and calls on the Government to establish a specific fund to cover this cost.

House of Commons - Southern Rail

Following further severe disruption of Southern Rail services I urged the Government to get on with stripping Govia Thameslink Railway of the franchise and transferring it to Transport for London now.

Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School

Just opened the Christmas Fair Holy Trinity Primary School in Tulse Hill. Take a look at their food menu – I’m loving the Curry Goat!

Small Business Saturday

It’s Small Business Saturday – make sure you show your support by visiting a local business today. I’ll be checking out some of the great businesses in Streatham, Balham, Brixton, Clapham and Tulse Hill.

Christmas Lights Switch-on

Its that time of year again … turning on the Streatham Christmas Lights with the Mayor of Lambeth and the Snow Queen!
