Residents across the Cities of London and Westminster deserve reliable services from managing agents, but too many are falling short. This has to change. I am glad @mtpennycook is meeting with FirstPort Managing Director to put an end to the issues residents face.

This Remembrance Sunday, I joined our community at St Saviour's Pimlico and Lancaster Gate to honour all those who served and those we lost. We owe so much to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our country. Their courage & dedication continue to inspire us all.

I won’t stay silent when people like me are told we don’t belong. This Remembrance Sunday, we remember all who fought for our freedoms, of every background and faith. Modern British society is not diminished by diversity - it is defined by it. https://t.co/KWCzXYX5qs

The Right to Buy-back scheme is already boosting the supply of council homes here in the Cities of London and Westminster. Westminster City Council has invested £20 million under this scheme to provide families with homes and bring down temporary accommodation costs📹👇

The answer is power. 💭 We asked @RNBlake what we need to fix to ensure growth in the economy translates to growth for our communities.

From local supply chains to co-operative business models, we can build economies where investment strengthens communities and keeps wealth local. Inclusive growth means ensuring communities benefit.

Delighted to contribute to this new report, showing how co-operation drives lasting economic growth. Britain’s economy works best when people have a real stake.
Britain’s economy works best when people have a real stake. The Prime Minister said we must “grow our economy from the grassroots.” Our new report shows what that means in practice. Co-operation driving economic growth that lasts.

I’ve just presented my 10-minute rule Bill in Parliament to give a legal right to paid time off work for fertility treatment. The current system is letting thousands of people – especially women- down. Here’s why the law needs to change 👇

Glad to support @AliceMLabour 10-Minute Rule Bill on Fertility Treatment (right to time off). Businesses across the Cities of London and Westminster lead the way in offering time off for fertility treatment, it’s time to make it accessible for all!

Our forces families make huge sacrifices to keep us safe. They deserve decent, secure homes. Labour’s Defence Housing Strategy will deliver the biggest renewal in fifty years, homes fit for heroes.

This new strategy means stronger move-in standards, faster repairs, and a named housing officer for every family. In Westminster that's 145 homes.

Many military families in Westminster live in homes that have seen years of neglect. That’s why the new Defence Housing Strategy matters, bringing homes back into public hands and setting new standards through the Homes Fit for Heroes campaign.
