We're facing a junk food crisis and it's killing us. We need to act and early. That's why in #Hounslow, with one of London's highest obesity rates, we partnered with #JamieOliver to teach parents of primary kids to cook healthy, affordable meals, and have funded cooking equipment for #schools.

Brentford's new arts centre moves another step closer.

As the rights of one of the most marginalised and victimised groups in society are ripped up, as scared and vulnerable people fear what comes next, the Billionare Who Shall Not Be Named does this. #trans #transrights #TransRightsAreHumanRights

I hope the people who campaigned for this are proud of themselves.

Absolutely right from #KeirStarmer. Palestinians must be allowed to return home. And the international community must set its sights on the creation of a Palestinian state. National building, not ethnic cleansing. #Gaza #Palestine #Trump #Iseal #PMQs
