Final push! Yesterday I met with residents as part of our Pedicabs Action Group to go through TfL’s draft regs. We’re calling for stronger driver checks, clear seatbelt requirements, and enforcement on tax dodging.

By giving local people enhanced powers to buy community spaces, more assets will be owned and shaped by the people who use them, love them and want to keep them in the community.

Local authorities and third sector organisations need to work hand in hand with communities to ensure we are giving our young people the best start in life📹👇

Had a great time at Chiltern Railways’ launch event today! I got the chance to look at their brand new train, part of their big plans to modernise the fleet and ensure the station is a good neighbour!

Today I visited King George’s Hostel to see first-hand the vital work supporting people experiencing homelessness. Today it was announced that Westminster will receive £2.35m to strengthen local homelessness and recovery services as part of the Govt’s £84m national uplift.

The Conservatives don’t care about homelessness. But the British people do. This Labour Government is giving people the dignity of their own front door and a secure roof over their heads.

This is such welcome news for Gaza, the hostages and their families. I know how important this ceasefire and peace is for my constituents.
I welcome the news that a deal has been reached on the first stage of President Trump’s peace plan for Gaza.

Black Londers have significantly shaped thriving spaces across the Cities of London and Westminster. Among them, Mary Seacole. Once a resident of Soho Square, Seacole’s remembered for her heroic acts in the Crimean War and a pioneering nurse.

Today we mark two years since the horrifying attacks on Israel by Hamas terrorists on October 7th 2023. Time does not diminish the evil we saw that day. The worst attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. The brutal, cold blooded torture and murder of Jews in their own

Today, we remember all those killed in the appalling attacks by Hamas terrorists on October 7. We stand unequivocally with the Jewish community against hate and in the hope of the return of all of the hostages held in Gaza, and for a just and lasting peace.

This is a disgraceful and profoundly worrying incident. If you're a resident of the Cities of London & Westminster, please reach out, I'm here to help and support you.
Appalled by the disgusting arson attack on Peacehaven mosque last night. That there were no injuries is purely by chance. I have spoken with @sussex_police this morning, and I’m very grateful to them and @EastSussexFRS for their response.

I support the increased patrolling around synagogues and in Jewish communities. For residents in the Cities of London & Westminster please do reach out, I am here to support.
I’m horrified by the violent attack at a synagogue in Manchester. I have been in contact with the Mayor of Greater Manchester and the Home Secretary, and would like to reassure Londoners that the Met Police are stepping up patrols in Jewish communities and synagogues across

This incident is devastating. My heart goes out to the families and loved ones affected. I stand with the Jewish Community.
I’m appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall. The fact that this has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, makes it all the more horrific. My thoughts are with the loved ones of all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency

We must keep the victims of this awful abuse at the front of our minds and support those working tirelessly to deliver it.
