One of the joys of being an Assembly Member is visiting community groups in my constituency and seeing the amazing work they do.

At the Wyndham & Comber TRA in Camberwell, I rolled up my sleeves (literally) and helped out.

I also fell in love with Boss, the puppy. I want one!

Annual grocery bills have risen by £643 due to grocery inflation hitting a record 14%. Prior to this increase, 44% of adults reported spending less on essentials including food. Without support Londoners will have even less food on the table.

Hate Crime Awareness week starts today. It gives us the chance to reflect on our own actions, and how we can all play a part in eradicating hate crime from our city. We need to call out hate and educate others.

I'm proud to be endorsed by the GMB for the Camberwell and Peckham selection.

If selected, with my political experience and community activism, I’ll continue working with the GMB in securing a better future for workers in places like Camberwell and Peckham.

Proud to speak in at the
Unite the union rally against the proposed London Tory bus cuts.

Southwark will shoulder 25% of all the London cuts if the proposed ones go through.

There are few transport options available here and buses are a lifeline.

Thank you to everyone who has made this possible - I am absolutely delighted and honoured to have been elected Assembly Member for Lambeth and Southwark 🌹

Major incident declared in London as hospitals face ‘critical’ threat Capital’s NHS is ‘on the cusp of being overwhelmed’ with virus now ‘out of control’

Stay safe Lambeth and Southwark; wear masks, wash hands frequently, and avoid unnecessary journeys.

Completely agree with Sadiq, “no matter what comes next, we will face it together”.

London goes into Tier 4 tomorrow morning.

These further restrictions are a bitter blow. Lambeth and Southwark faces its toughest Christmas since the war - and we will all need to pull together to see us through this terrible period.

Please follow the new rules - lives depend on it.

Please join me this evening for an online Dialogue Party with Vauxhall Labour.

It’s easy:
we can walk you through how to use Dialogue on your smartphone
Its social:
We keep a Teams room open for you to pop back into between calls
From the comfort of your home:
and better than canvassing in the cold and the rain.
