It was an honour to attend the #ArmisticeDay service at the #Battersea Park War Memorial this morning. I layed a wreath in remembrance of all of the brave service men and women of #Battersea who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms & democracy.

It was an honour to plant a cross in Parliament's Constituency Garden of Remembrance. We remember and honour the courage and sacrifice of the brave men and women of #Battersea who have served in our Armed Forces, past and present. #LestWeForget #Remembrance

This is no surprise!  Before Dr Daniels’ report,  we had the Scarman report, the Macpherson Inquiry, the IPCC review, the HMIC Stop & Search Report, the Lammy Review, and the Casey Review. This has to be a watershed moment. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This week I asked the Minister if the UK will be leading efforts to bring justice for women and girls who are being subjected to extreme levels of violence due to the ongoing genocide in #Sudan

I was delighted to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth by hosting the Black Heroes Foundation charity in Parliament. They do fantastic work in raising awareness of Black heroes from many different spheres of life. It was wonderful to hear about inspiring leaders, with beautiful creative performances too.

It was great to catch up with the Mayor of London @sadiqkhan to discuss issues that matter to the people of #Battersea.

@bsky.app This month has been an important one for women in the Church of England - including for #Battersea's St Mary's Church. It was great to attend the institution and induction of the Reverend Erin Clark, who takes over from the Reverend Stephen & inherits a lovely community.

Celebrating black excellence at the UK FCDO with the Deputy Prime Minister @DavidLammy in conversation with the BBCs inspiring Clive Myrie.

🎶🌍 A powerful afternoon unveiling the plaque to Bob Marley in #Battersea Park. Bob Marley was an undeniable musical genius and a cultural icon who inspired millions - from Kingston, Jamaica to the football fields of Battersea Park - and blazed a trail for reggae music and artists across the world.

My thoughts & prayers are with everyone in Jamaica dealing with the destruction of Hurricane Melissa. The Jamaican Govt has launched a website with critical info, donation options & a resource tracker for those affected. See more: supportjamaica.gov.jm

What does the Renters Rights Act mean for renters in #Battersea? Watch me explain more with the help of some friends at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home 🐶

The Access to Work Scheme is the best form of employment support for blind and partially sighted people. Worryingly, following case reviews, many are having their support significantly reduced. It is vital people living with sight loss are kept at the right level. My Q to the Minister

The Renters Rights Act is making renting safer, more secure & reliable for all. Here's what it means for you:

Every child should live in a safe, decent & secure home. Awaab's Law - requiring landlords to fix dangerous hazards in social housing - is a momentous piece of legislation & will save young lives. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

I am deeply saddened to hear of the tragic passing of Rinneau Perrineau, following his fatal stabbing in Lavender Hill last week. My thoughts are with his family.

A great evening with Bishop Sarah Mullally, to honour the Lord Mayor of London - and even better to get some important feedback on the importance of community!

🐶 🐱 Always great to visit Battersea Dogs & Cats Home - even more so to celebrate the Renters Rights Bill becoming law. This will strengthen rights to keep pets in properties, keeping furry friends with their owners when they move

The Tennis Black List is a platform for trailblazers and inspirations who are shaping the future of tennis. It was wonderful to welcome Tennis Black List award winners to Parliament to celebrate their achievements & discuss how we make tennis an inclusive sport for all.

What a lovely treat to return to my alma mater LSBU to meet some of their brilliant law students & professors. Having an inclusive learning environment allowed me to thrive - it’s critical we keep breaking down barriers to opportunity for students today too.

Looking forward to this 👇

Recent attacks on places of worship, including the horrific attack on the Manchester synagogue, show the threat of hate & intolerance to our communities. The Church's interfaith leaders are working hard to strengthen community relations & I give my great thanks to them.

Happy Diwali to everyone in #Battersea celebrating today 🕯️

Every child should breathe good quality air in daily life, helping their health during the school day. Great to join @london.gov.uk of London at #Battersea's St Mary's School to launch his initiative to provide indoor air quality filters to at least 200 schools across all London.

Football has the power to bring everyone together but only if everyone one of us commits to rejecting racism in all its forms. 🟥 Proud to wear red today to support Show Racism the Red Card

Yesterday, MPs discussed support for churches in rural communities and the persecution of Christians across the world. @marshadecordova.bsky.social Second Church Estates Commissioner, was present as MPs congratulated Bishop Sarah Mullally on her appointment as the next Archbishop of Canterbury.

📌 I'm looking for a hardworking, talented Constituency Support Manager to join my brilliant team This is an exciting, fast-paced role that will support my constituents and help to make a real difference to people's lives. Details here: www.w4mpjobs.org/JobDetails.a...

Cutting the levels of affordable homes to just 20% is, in my opinion, the wrong decision and will impact negatively on Londoners, especially the 1000s of children homeless or in temp accom And if that wasn’t bad enough, councils will get the option to not charge developers an infrastructure levy.

It is vital the Ministry of Defence does everything in its power to cooperate with the Kenyan investigation & ensure a timely extradition process - for justice to be served for this horrific case. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

It is fantastic news that Lavender Hill Police Station will remain open for local residents to use when they need an officer. Huge credit must go to my friend @marshadecordova.bsky.social for her relentless campaign to save the Station.

While Lavender Hill Police Station’s front counter will only stay open with reduced hours, I am pleased the Met has listened to me on the importance of keeping #Battersea’s only front counter. Thank you to residents for writing to me and signing my petition. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For families, #Battersea businesses and those who've been continually squeezed in the cost-of-living crisis, the negative impact of Brexit still looms large. It is right for the Chancellor to highlight the damaging cost of Brexit to this country. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

🍃 Thanks to the hard work of @london.gov.uk Sadiq Khan, the level of nitrogen dioxide in London has fallen to within legal limits for the first time. I was pleased to ask the Secretary of State how he is tackling the link between air pollution & death, to create longer, healthier lives for everyone

🚨NEW: Wandsworth to receive £150,815 in grants for family hubs, breathing new life into family services & give every child the best start. 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 Building on Labour's proud legacy of Sure Start, these centres will help #Battersea families with early development, nutrition, socialisation and SEND support

I have written again to the Met Commissioner to urge him to reconsider the decision to close the front counter at Lavender Hill Police Station. To ensure continued public trust & confidence, we must retain this critical point of contact.

🤝 Helping constituents is the bread & butter of what I do - It's why I was elected. 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 Supporting families in #Battersea like this one ensures we build a stronger community, with better outcomes for all. 📨 Live in Battersea & have an issue? Get in touch: [email protected]

I’m concerned about the changes to the Skilled Worker visa route and the impact it may have on Londoners working for Transport for London, our other public services and beyond.

🎈💐🎀 For #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, I popped into ASDA #Battersea to see how their Tickled Pink campaign is helping to raise awareness. The Govt's 10 Year Health Plan, with its focus on prevention & high-quality community care, is so important to delivering life-saving care when & where needed.

Following the findings of this pilot, I will continue to call on the Govt to get behind a national study – to ensure we have the right data and understanding of our population's eye health and hearing needs. Read more 👇 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I welcome the news that a ceasefire has been reached &I know this a moment of relief to many. I will continue to press for the Govt to sanction Israeli Govt ministers, end all arms sales,ban trade with illegal settlements and suspend economic /7 military cooperation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cx...

London is a global powerhouse for film 🎬 I’m delighted that the BFI London Film Festival is back until 19 October 2025. It’s the perfect opportunity to discover the world’s best new films, series and immersive storytelling.

🚨 NEW: Wandsworth to receive £261,760 in Govt funding to support homelessness services. That’s more funding to help the most vulnerable in Battersea, rebuild lives & strengthen our community as a whole.

Today marks #WorldSightDay – a day we shine a light on the importance of building stronger eye care. My lived experience as someone born with a visual impairment has profoundly shaped my career & my drive to deliver better results for those born or diagnosed with a sight condition today.

I’m proud that my Pension Credit campaign has helped older Londoners unlock £40m in unclaimed support. Too many Londoners are still missing out. I’m urging Londoners to use City Hall’s Cost of Living Hub to check their entitlements to benefits: www.london.gov.uk/programmes-s...

I have written to the Prime Minister to press the Government on the importance of a Gaza Family Scheme, for family members to be reunited with British-Palestinian family members in the UK.

18,457 children have been killed by Israel's genocide in Gaza. The next steps remain the same: Sanction Israeli Govt ministers, end all arms sales to Israel, ban trade with Israel's illegal settlements & suspend economic & military cooperation with Israel. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

My statement on the second anniversary of the 7 October attacks.
