Excellent news that this budget will remove the 2 child benefit cap, set to take an estimated 600,000 children nationally out of poverty and to benefit nearly 14,000 kids in Brent. No child should have to go hungry because of how many siblings they have.

Delighted the Chancellor has announced to scrap the cruel two child benefit cap. Across #Brent, up to 14,300 children could immediately be lifted out of poverty and prevent many more from falling into poverty This is the right thing to do! #EndChildPoverty #Budget2025
Scrapping the two-child limit will be transformational for children.

No child in Brent should go hungry because of the cost-of-living crisis. That's why your Brent Labour council has extended our food voucher scheme, meaning low-income families receive the support they need. Labour will always work hard to tackle poverty in Brent. 🌹

🚨 Another gambling licence granted in my constituency. I objected. The Council objected. Local people objected. But the 'Aim to Permit' policy means we can’t stop it. I'm campaigning to give residents the power to say NO. Help me make a difference. https://t.co/UozeDEmu3k

The tracks are laid, the commuters are ready - all we need now is the green light. 🚦🚃 Here's why we're asking for a new Overground line for West London, from Hendon to Harlesden to Hounslow. 👇📰 #WestLondonOrbital

A push is on to extend the Overground to Brent Cross and West Hampstead using an old freight railway line running through Gladstone Park and Neasden.

Today at #PMQs I welcomed the Govt’s plans to give councils stronger powers over gambling outlets but we must go further. The outdated 'aim to permit' rules must end. Gambling Tax must go up. Give communities & high streets an opportunity to thrive.
