We’re facing a national crisis with too many children and young people facing huge struggles with their mental health. That’s why I’m stepping forward to help provide targeted schools across London with tools, training and support to make a real difference for their students.

Kingston Market this weekend, the East & South East Asian Culture Festival 🎉 Part of the Mayors Community Weekend with @london.gov.uk & @tnlcommunityfund.org.uk Local charities & community groups have been hosting events to bring neighbours & communities together across London. 🤗

Our streets and community should be free from acts and messages of hate. We all deserve safe, welcoming spaces, and I have, once again, written to the council on this matter, and asked them to deal with the latest incident swiftly.

Forward with the Employment Rights Bill in full. No ifs, no buts. Forward. But real change can't stop there...

From teaching CPR to inspiring young people through opportunities like the fire cadets, and collecting coats for people in need in winter, it’s always so heartening to see the difference they make. Above and beyond! Thank you! #EmergencyServicesDay

Today is Emergency Services Day! Here in Kingston we’re grateful for all our teams do – from saving lives and keeping us safe, to supporting, teaching and engaging with our community. Your dedication is outstanding. Thank you. 💙 🚑🚒🚓

Our emergency service workers represent the very best of us. Every day, they make extraordinary sacrifices, putting themselves in harm’s way to protect our communities, and save lives. On #999Day, we honour their incredible courage and dedication.

We had a great time at the New Malden K-pop Awards! 🎶✨ Well done to the organisers for a great event & sharing a much-needed message: K-pop more than music & dance - it’s about people from different backgrounds & ages coming together, connecting & inspiring positive energy in their community.

Kingston Labour out on the doors, talking to residents about what matters to them, from housing to local services. Labour is working hard to turn around over a decade of total mismanagement & lack of investment - with housing, health & stronger worker rights as key priorities.

Reform claim to back workers — but have turned their back on them again and again, voting AGAINST the Employment Rights Bill to keep: ✅ Fire & rehire ✅ Exploitative zero-hours ✅ No unfair dismissal protection 2 yrs ✅ 3-day sick pay wait They’re not on your side.

✅ Sensible changes to support hardworking people. That’s what Labour’s Employment Rights Bill does. ❌ The Liberal Democrats and Reform UK have both worked with the Conservatives in Parliament to try and block it. ⬇️ www.kingstonlabour.com/2025/08/06/l...

Good news. The financial and domestic struggles parents face while on leave have a huge impact on quality of life. Statutory maternity pay drops off just as babies hit key developmental leaps. Our system is letting families down. The UK lags behind other countries.

Supporting working parents isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s vital for our economy. Today, Labour has launched a review of parental leave, to look at the whole system and see how it can work better for parents and employers.

Out in Kingston this morning, speaking to local people - from greenery and street maintenance to traffic and parking issues, crime, local businesses, and more. Thanks to everyone who took the time to speak with us on this sunny day. ☀️

Happy Pride Month!

Sewage pollution has long affected precious waterways like the Hogsmill in Kingston. It’s good to see strong government action to clean up the water industry. Thames Water now can’t pay dividends without Ofwat’s approval.

🚨 Labour is cracking down on water firms. Thames Water has been fined £122.7m for sewage spills & payouts in the biggest penalty ever by Ofwat. The new Water (Special Measures) Act brings stronger measures including jail, bonus bans & tougher oversight. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
