Gaza appeal: www.dec.org.uk

NEW: Many people have been trying to talk London down, but the evidence tells a very different story.   Last year saw:   The lowest homicide rate since records began   The fewest homicides of those aged under 25 this century

In Parliament, I welcomed stronger action to tighten sanctions on Russia. A sanctions regime with real teeth is vital to closing loopholes that fund Putin’s illegal war and to ensure seized assets can be used to help rebuild Ukraine, now and in the future.

In Parliament, I welcomed the shift in Africa strategy, moving from paternalism to partnership. Poverty reduction and the SDGs must be central, working with local organisations who know best. Groups like Bond play a vital role in delivering lasting change across Africa.

In Parliament, I pressed the Foreign Secretary on the devastating conflict in Sudan. The UK must do more to push for a humanitarian truce, prevent further atrocities, and support Sudanese civil society, with women’s voices part of any lasting peace. youtu.be/9DPDg5C1e2k?...

I’ve just raised the reopening of Hammersmith Bridge in Parliament. The closure is hitting Putney, yet there’s still no date for the taskforce meeting to agree funding. This has to happen. Please join me at my public event on 24 January at 2pm. shorturl.at/21YaN

Commuters in Putney are still paying the price for six years of Hammersmith Bridge closure. Today, I asked the Secretary of State for Transport to confirm support for reopening the bridge to vehicles and to set a date for the next Task Force meeting. We need action and no more delay.

Proud to stand up for London and call out misinformation when we see it. Our city’s diversity is its strength and under @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social London continues to deliver for residents and our economy. Londoners know the truth, and I’ll always speak up for our fantastic capital!

Happy New Year! It snowed in Parliament today! Here’s what I’ve been up to so far this week.

Protecting peace in Northern Ireland must always come first. In Parliament, I stressed the importance of upholding the Good Friday Agreement and delivering answers for victims and families. Progress comes from building peace and not by playing politics.

Last day of the year - time to look back on 2025. #Putney #Southfields #Roehampton #Wandsworth

🎄🎉 Merry Christmas!!

Lovely carol service at Holy Trinity Roehampton last night 🎄🎶 Thank you for inviting me and Cllr Jenny Yates to read.

Thank you to His Excellency Manar Dabbas, Jordan’s Ambassador to the UK, for taking the time to meet with me. We discussed Middle East peace and the urgent need to get more humanitarian aid into Gaza.

I’ve been campaigning against animal testing since I was 12. Glad to be joined by so many MPs at this LUSH event in Parliament. I’ve never seen so many staff coming along (there were LUSH goodie bags 😉)

A really great visit to #Roehampton Gate School ahead of the SEND White Paper, meeting brilliant students and talking about politics as they launch their new student voice programme. Inspiring to see young people shaping their own futures.

Thanks to Our Roehampton for a fantastic year round up for Roehampton organisations. I went with Cllr Yates and Cllr Henderson. We heard from Sanctuary for Sisterhood, Sparkle and the Community Garden.

Calling all schools! Delighted to launch new research and lesson plans to teach politics to year 10. It’s proven to increase confidence of girls and make it relevant to their lives. You can see Roehampton University’s G-Epic research here: www.g-epic.eu #GirlsInPolitics

Clarissa died too young and I’m supporting her family’s campaign for ECG testing for young people taking part in sports. Managed to get a mention of #pinkponyclub in too! @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social #CPR #Defibrillator #SuddenCardiacDeath

An important update!

Thank you to everyone who came to my faith and community celebration in Parliament. We had a great time and tour! Thanks to Dame Emily Thornberry, the Imam, Rabbi and Rev Bolen for the inspiring speeches too. #Community #Putney #Southfields #WandsworthTown #Roehampton

It was an honour to be invited to the Christmas reception at 10 Downing Street and to invite Deacon Kathy from Roehampton to join me. We had mulled wine, carols, prayers and met the PM.

South Thames College hosted a really productive meeting of police, council saftey teams and local schools this week. I convened the meeting after Southside Shopping Centre shared concerns about increasing anti-social behaviour.

I want to choose cruelty-free food but the labels are confusing. Really glad to support the Compassion in World Farming campaign for a clear, standard food labelling. @ciwf.org.uk

Putney has Deliveroo Restaurant Awards winners! 🏆 Big congratulations to Rajah Rowing, and Base Face Pizza, voted for by customers. It was great to visit both restaurants and try their food. Do go and give them a try! 🍕

Huge thanks to all our postal workers! 📮 I visited Putney Postal Sorting Station to see the hard work our posties do, lifting parcels, sorting letters, and keeping every street covered. I even had a go at sorting myself! Thank you to Royal Mail and @cwunews.bsky.social #postie #Putney

MPs have PASSED the Employment Rights Bill AGAIN. Now its over to the Lords to do the right thing - pass the Bill and deliver the new rights that working people are crying out for.

🤩 Falcon Bridge Road tunnel looks amazing! 👏👏 Well done Wandsworth Council!

Good meeting with Lawrence Bowman, CEO of South Western Railways. We discussed the timetable for the £20m lifts and new entrance at Wandsworth Town station, the roll-out of Arterio trains, and reducing noise at Putney station. I’ll keep pushing for better journeys! 🚆

It was an honour to read the angels and shepherds Christmas reading at the All Saints Church #Wandsworth carol service this evening.

🕎 Happy Chanukah to everyone celebrating this weekend in London and around the world The antisemitic attack on Jewish families at Bondi Beach in Sydney is horrific and my thoughts are with the victims and their families. We need light to overcome darkness. #Chanukah

It’s been an amazing week in Parliament: - youth, child poverty AND homelessness strategies - ⁠SEND funding - ⁠communities event - ⁠met the PM about Hammersmith Bridge - ⁠school visits - ⁠surgery in Putney (And BT agreed to move the phone boxes 🎉)

6 Years as Your MP!

The White Ribbon Parade was a powerful show of strength in Roehampton. Thanks to the SW15 womens group, Council and police for their support. It’s the last day of the 16 days of activism against violence against women and girls - but the work continues.

My Annual Report is now out! 💪 Here’s how I’ve been standing up for Putney in 2025 👇 A new Roehampton police hub, free school breakfasts and Family Hub, Green Man bus stop reopened, Wet Wipe Island tackled. I’ll keep fighting! indd.adobe.com/view/5fe427a...

I'm in Sarajevo for #GenocidePrevention Day with the Foreign Affairs Committee. 30 years after the Srebrenica genocide, we’re investigating how disinformation fuels division and denial. Genocide isn’t inevitable, if action is taken early, genocide can be prevented.

It’s #smallbusinesssaturday and I’m celebrating our great small businesses in Putney, Southfields, Roehampton and Wandsworth Town. Did you know we have a hairdresser that’s a wine shop too?! Shop local and support our great local businesses.

Look out for the donation boxes in Tesco! I visited the store on Wandsworth High Street with Dan from the Felix/Fair Share project. It was set up in memory of his brother Felix. ✅ The food goes to fantastic local organisations providing thousands of meals.

🎄👋 🛍️ Tomorrow is Small Business Saturday - join me visiting some great Putney shops - and shop local this Christmas!

Putin is morally responsible for Dawn Sturgess’ death, and the same Kremlin playbook fuels war and disinformation. Poison in Salisbury, bombs in Ukraine, lies in the Balkans: all are weapons to kill, divide and destabilise. (1/2)

Special message to the CEO of BT, Please help Putney by removing two unused phone boxes, making a real difference to Putney High Street. These boxes are preventing a bus lay-by being created. As a result, buses have no choice but to stop in the road, causing congestion.
