Out delivering my letter to local residents, explaining why they should Vote Labour, Vote Local, Vote Louie.

For too many people, leasehold has become the ultimate con. In a debate on the issue this week, I called for new legislation to simplify the system and make it fairer and more transparent, especially for housing association residents.

This latest immigration bill seems designed to make it impossible for refugees to rebuild their lives in Britain. The Home Secretary is heading down the same failed path as the last Tory administration.

One week to go until the Clapham Park byelection! Good to be out in Clapham Park with our Clapham & Brixton Hill Labour team campaigning for Louie Somerville-Sutherland ahead of next Thursday 🌹

In a recent Westminster Hall Debate on the role of big tech in our society, I raised concerns about our public services' growing dependency on US spy tech firm, Palantir, including in our health service. I echoed calls to terminate its NHS contract.

Eyes on Sudan! The city of El Obeid in Sudan is currently under siege from RSF militia, who stand accused of a litany of war crimes, human rights abuses and ethnic cleansing.

Later this year, Jamaica will take the case for reparations directly to King Charles, lodging a formal petition. It is getting harder and harder for British institutions to maintain their favoured tactic of simply ignoring calls for repair.

Last year, Palantir paid an effective tax rate of just 8%. As well as making large profits from public sector contracts and sensitive NHS data, Palantir doesn’t even pay its fair share of taxes on those profits.

I raised a point of order about the Palestine Action ban this week. With proscription clearly having a chilling effect on free speech, I asked the government to clarify what falls in the scope of the ban. This is something they have been unable/unwilling to do so far.

Last weekend saw the long-awaited return of the Abbeville Fete and it didn’t disappoint! There were dozens of stalls, an impressive selection of local food and drink and a variety of entertainment options for the whole family. Fantastic effort from all involved!

Today in Parliament, I pushed the government on its manifesto pledge to tackle maternal health inequalities. With Black mothers still 3x more likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum, it's crucial that we make this commitment without further delay.

I recently wrote to the council leader, calling for resident exemption permits for LTNs. Whilst traffic calming measures like LTNs are vital to tackle air pollution, they must be implemented in the most effective way. Good to hear they will keep this option under consideration.

Amazing atmosphere at this year’s Big Caribbean Lunch as our community turned up to eat, drink and dance in tribute to the Windrush Generation. Big thank you to everyone who keeps this event going, especially Friends of Windrush Square and Ros Griffiths.

Lovely to be at Clapham Pride over the weekend, loudly and proudly celebrating the LGBTQ+ communities that help make Clapham the welcoming, diverse and vibrant place it is. Huge thank you to the organisers, volunteers, businesses and residents who made this year’s event such a success 🏳️‍🌈🌈

⚠️ Last chance! ⚠️ Applications for my 2026 Summer Activism Academy close TOMORROW at midnight. If you’re 16–18 in Clapham & Brixton Hill, this is your chance to learn, campaign & get involved. ⏰ Don’t miss out!

Defeating the far right will be one of the defining struggles of the next few years. Great to see people building coalitions, challenging hateful narratives about migration and getting ready to stand against the far right.

Attorney Ben Crump gets behind the campaign to Buy Back Brixton! Protecting Black-owned business and community space are part of the same fight. Buy Back Brixton is about ensuring the people who built this community aren't priced out of it #BuyBackBrixton

Honoured to host the Black Child Clean Air Conference in Parliament this week. Too many children grow up breathing harmful air with Black and Asian communities still hit hardest by air pollution. Grateful to hear from experts on how we can deliver cleaner air for all.

Unpaid carers sustain our community, providing vital care and support. Yet too often, their invaluable work is taken for granted. The Lambeth Carers Awards are a chance to recognise their contribution and are open for nominations until 20 July 👇🏾 love.lambeth.gov.uk/lambeth-care...

This week, Buy Back Brixton successfully submitted a competitive bid to bring Brixton Market and Market Row under community ownership. Huge congratulations to the organisers and everyone in the local community who has been supporting this #BuyBackBrixton www.brixtonbuzz.com/2026/06/buy-...

The young motorcyclist killed in Sunday’s crash has been named as Veselin Peev. My thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones. Police continue to appeal for witnesses. Anyone with information is asked to call them on 101 quoting CAD4034/21JUN26. www.wandsworthguardian.co.uk/news/2622472...

A change of Labour leadership alone is not enough. We also need a fundamental change of direction. MPs in the Socialist Campaign Group have set out the bold policy platform our next leader must adopt to transform the country and rebuild our party's electoral coalition.

Two more really grim examples of human remains being sold online in Belfast: a "mummys head" and a trophied skull from Borneo. The Saleroom should remove these listings. The government must legislate to end this macabre trade.

Devastating to hear news of a fatal crash by Clapham Common on Sunday, which saw a motorcyclist killed. Police investigations are ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 and quote CAD4034/21JUN26.

On Windrush Day, we pay tribute to the pioneers from across the Commonwealth who came to help rebuild Britain after the Second World War. We celebrate the Windrush Generation's enormous contribution in the face of appalling racism and ongoing mistreatment by the state.

Congratulations to @andyburnham.bsky.social, defeating Reform in Makerfield and substantially improving 2024's majority despite national headwinds. The rightward drift is not inevitable. It can be prevented with the right policies.

Great news! London now has 3,000 zero‑emission buses 🚌 Together, these buses are cutting the equivalent of ~118,900 London-New York flights in CO₂ emissions each year. A major milestone, which will help to cut pollution, protect public health and tackle climate breakdown.

Great to be out supporting Louie Sommerville-Sutherland, our Labour candidate for Clapham Park 🌹 The upcoming by-election is an opportunity to elect a councillor who will listen to local residents, be visible in the community and work to scrutinise the council.

Looking forward to hosting @attorneybencrump.bsky.social, lawyer to the families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Trayvon Martin at the Black Cultural Archives in Brixton next Thursday.We'll be talking about his work fighting for justice and discussing his new book, 'Worse than a Lie'.

Buy Back Brixton! 17,000+ people have now signed the petition backing community ownership of Brixton Market, opposing its selloff to private equity. Join the rally taking place on Brixton Station Road this Friday at 6pm to stand with our local independent traders.

Good luck to @andyburnham.bsky.social in today's byelection. This vote is a choice between a vision of hope for the country or a divisive nationalism that serves only the few. Vote Andy, vote Labour, vote hope!

With private equity trying to buy up Brixton Village and Market Row, there is a very real threat that local traders will face higher rents and evictions. Amid widespread local opposition, market traders are launching an emergency counter-bid to bring the market under community ownership.

Great result for @pcs.union.bsky.social, with the government insourcing 2,000 catering staff, security officers, cleaners and porters to improve working conditions and service delivery. The government must extend this approach to other outsourced services that could be better run in-house.

Glad to see the Government setting out objections yesterday to the proposed rescue deal for Thames Water, which would have meant higher bills and more sewage pollution. They must take the company into special administration, followed by permanent public ownership.

I recently joined Windrush Justice Community Collective to call on the Home Secretary to grant legal assistance to all Windrush claimants. Unlike survivors of other major state scandals, those impacted by the Windrush scandal are not entitled to free legal advice.

Very concerned to hear about a hit and run on Clapham Park Road, which saw a large area cordoned off yesterday evening. Praying for a swift and full recovery for the victim, hospitalised in a life-threatening condition. The driver has been arrested.

It's International Domestic Workers Day 🔊 To mark IDWD2026, we're launching our Domestic Work is Work campaign! We join migrant domestic workers and call on the UK Government to finally ratify @ilo.org Convention 189 and recognise that domestic work is real work! #internationaldomesticworkersday

Gaza has been a major factor behind voters leaving our party. In one poll, 53% of former Labour voters said it was a decisive factor. Why is this government willing to expend so much political capital to ensure weapons companies can keep arming Israel?

These sentences are totally disproportionate and designed to discourage direct action, particularly against companies aiding and abetting the most heinous war crimes. Sentencing activists as terrorists for damaging property sets a dangerous precedent.

The government and judiciary have reclassified direct action against genocide as "terrorism". You can be arrested as a "terrorist" simply for holding up signs protesting this. A shameful attack on freedom of expression and the right to protest that debases our institutions.

Great news that the Windrush Untold Stories exhibition will be celebrated in Parliament tomorrow. I agree with its organiser that Windrush Generation’s contribution deserves greater national recognition and reflection.

Welcome news that the government will consider terminating Palantir’s NHS data contract. Sensitive patient data should be managed in the public interest with proper democratic oversight, not for the profit of unscrupulous Silicon Valley corporations. www.reuters.com/business/hea...
