Great to be at the Kenton Swaminarayan Temple for their 29th Patotsav (anniversary) weeklong celebrations. 🙏🏽Jay Shree Swaminarayan 🙏🏽

What a way to start Christmas Day. 5km run completed ✅ Merry Christmas from Gladstone Park ParkRun 🧑🏽‍🎄🎄🏃🏽

Had an amazing time with the family at Willesden Temple's Winter Wonderland 🎄🧑🏽‍🎄

Pleased to hear from the TfL Commissioner yesterday at the Budget and Performance Committee that the expectation to have the rolling stock replaced on the Bakerloo Line is still by the end of this decade. 🚆

Sadiq Khan's first overseas visit as Mayor was to India. He reopened London offices in Mumbai and Delhi, previously closed by Boris Johnson. In 2023 India overtook the USA in terms of Foreign Direct Investments in London. Hopeful that the Mayor's trip to Africa will yield a similar impact.

Successfully making the case today to the London Assembly Oversight Committee to resource an investigation (Rapporteurship) on opening up London's school sports facilities. ​Most of our city's facilities are currently locked after hours. Time to unlock them for Londoners. youtu.be/eCyGke4dHvg?...

The number of people with flu in hospital has shot up 55% from the previous week. I'm urging anyone eligible to get their flu vaccination to help prevent themselves getting seriously ill. You can book a vaccination appointment through this link. www.nhs.uk/nhs-services...

A pleasure to be at the FC National Harrow Annual Appreciation Trophy Event. Proud to see so many parents and children engaging in the beautiful game and seeing local kids developing and joining professional clubs such as Arsenal, Manchester City, QPR and Charlton Athletic. ⚽🏆

Time for Healthier High Streets! Glad to hear that the Deputy Mayor overseeing the next iteration of the London Plan is actively working on my calls to insert a clause so planning authorities have to give due consideration where applications add public health benefit to an area.

Tune in from 2pm this afternoon to the #AssemblyPlanning meeting examining what types of homes and public spaces Londoners prefer and whether new developments reflect what they want from the city’s built environment. webcasts.london.gov.uk/Assembly

At City Hall, I raised the crucial need for keyworker housing in London. 🏠🏥 To fix the NHS recruitment and retention crisis, we must support keyworkers' housing needs. London deserves the best healthcare workers, and we need to give them the homes they need to serve our City.

Speaking to residents in North Harrow this morning, great responses on the #Labourdoorstep @HarrowLabour @gareththomasmp.bsky.social @krupesh.co.uk #SechiKailasa #JamesSWatkins @navinshah-cbe.bsky.social

Happy 4th Birthday to Little Village Wembley. A wonderful charity supporting newborns and their families. Sadly demand for their services continue to grow. Do look them up and support by donating your time and or money for this worthy cause.

🇷🇴 La mulți ani România! 🇷🇴 An amazing evening celebrating Romania's National Day with traditional singing and dancing. Thankful to the charity RCCT for putting together and hosting this incredible event in Harrow.

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra have now officially moved their headquarters to Wembley Park in Brent. They treated a packed Boxpark Wembley audience of 1,000 people from across the Borough to an amazing concert event this evening.

Quite a shock to still see Tories attacking Labour for high taxes when their record in Government tells a completely different story. It's worth noting their record on Corporation tax, Council Tax and year on year income tax threshold freezes raising taxes to a peacetime high.

A pleasure to be at the Bali Jatra UK Global South Maritime Heritage Summit recently at the House of Lords - organised by the Odisha Society of the United Kingdom.

Great to see so many at the Willesden Green Access Group meeting this evening committed to making sure that the best possible case is made to make Willesden Green tube station step free following TfL's announcement to conduct a feasibility study on making it happen at the station.

A lovely evening celebrating 25 years of the London Assembly with friends from across our amazing City.

Cuteness overload. Humbled by the work that @catsprotection.bsky.social Protection do day-in day-out to find cats safe and secure homes with many having traumatic experiences. It was great to see first hand the work they do in Harrow this morning alongside @ellybakeram.bsky.social 🐈

Great to be at the Mayor of London Adult Learning Awards where Brent based London School of Science and Technology picked up the Distinguished Provider Award. Humbling to hear from so many who have trained and progressed themselves to get qualifications and a job through City Hall funded schemes.

Personally, I can't wait to have SL13 - get a move on TfL - Make it Happen! www.timeout.com/london/news/...

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

Today at City Hall, we came together at London's Remembrance Day service to honour those who have served our country. It was also great to see representatives from Brahma Kumaris and Neasden Temple from my constituency there as part of the ceremony.

Last week Neasden Temple hosted the Hindu Defence Network's Diwali celebration in partnership with the Ministry of Defence. As Remembrance Services take place across the country this week, it's great to see so many Hindus serving our country today across the Armed Forces and to see this recognised.

Laying a wreath at Brent Council's Remembrance Sunday Service at Barham Park. Thankful for those that gave away their tomorrow so we can have our today. #lestweforget

The Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, was in Brent this week to announce a major partnership between the city's Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) and London United, the community foundations of all 17 professional football clubs in the capital, to boost efforts to tackle violence.

Out on the #LabourDoorstep with the City Hall Labour team in Westminster🌹

Following the announcement from the Metropolitan Police on Front counter closures in Harrow, I've written to the Commissioner to ensure: - the stations are protected and continue to serve as bases for the Police - technology is fitted to ensure access for people that turn up to Harrow Police Station

Out in Dollis Hill ward with local Councillors and taking forward local issues and concerns raised by residents.

Great turnout from the Harrow Labour family out on the #LabourDoorstep in Wealdstone South ward.

Great to be at Mahavira Jain Temple in Kenton for the New Year.

Celebrating the Hindu New Year at Willesden Temple - The Annakut food display was incredible. Great to have Deputy Mayor of London Dr Debbie Weekes-Bernard visiting today. Wishing all celebrating a Happy New Year.

Diwali fireworks at Stanmore Temple never disappoints 🎆

Following a site visit with TfL officers and Police Officers alongside Labour Harrow Councillors a number of improvements were lobbied for at Harrow on the Hill station. Glad to see improvements taking shape with a new sign and brighter lighting at the Lowlands Road entrance.

Great to be at ISKON Bhaktivedanta Manor for Diwali #HareKrishna #HappyDiwali 🪔

Amazing Diwali Mela event at Kingsbury Temple 🪔

Diwali celebrations continue with the Hindu Forum of Britain's annual event at the House of Commons. 🪔

Great to see South Harrow alongside Willesden Green and Canons Park are having detailed feasibility studies on making them step-free. I'm continuing my work on making the transport network accessible for all and ensuring the Mayor meets his target to make half of all tube stations step-free by 2030.

Great to be at Byron Hall in Harrow for Katha organised by Vaishnavi Sangh of UK Trustees and volunteers.

A joy to see so many people representing organisations from across Brent & Harrow for Diwali at 10 Downing Street. Great to also hear from Government Ministers on the UK-India trade deal & the importance of our nearly 2 million people of Indian heritage in the UK in connecting the two nations 🪔🇬🇧🤝🇮🇳
