When I visited #ComicCon at the Excel this weekend I thought it was great to see a Careers Fair linking up people with skills and the Games industry. Also offering advice on how to sell your skills or get your cv right when looking for jobs in the sector. #MCMComicCon

Twice a year #comiccon comes to the Royal Docks filling the Excel and surrounding area with some fantastic costumes It’s the hottest day of the year, it took some commitment & stamina to wear some of the costumes but everyone was upbeat & having fun #comicconlondon #mcmcomiccon

We are the chosen charity for today's #WHULEE game. Thank you @WestHam 🙏⚒️

Last @premierleague game of the season tomorrow, #WHULEE with great thanks and appreciation to the fans who have supported us. The game has been dedicated to us by @WestHam for which we are grateful. We'll be at the usual collection places from 1pm ⚒️

Great to visit Rosetta Arts in West Ham on Thursday with Debbie Weekes-Bernard, Deputy Mayor of London for Communities, to help launch their journey as a @MayorofLondon funded Loved & Wanted community space. A wonderful night of art, crafts and music with the local community.

I was lucky to be invited to watch @GallionsSchool perform Macbeth. Their performance was really impressive as were the other Newham schools taking part in the Shakespeare Schools Festival @cssf_uk Well done to all the students and staff involved!

I hosted an event in Parliament celebrating Bulgaria’s national day of enlightenment, culture and the Bulgarian alphabet. It was great to learn more about the history Bulgarian script and hear from English students studying Bulgarian at UCL.

I recently met with @certain_blacks to hear about their plans for their funding from the Creative Foundation Fund. They’ve got lots of exiting upcoming projects and collaborations, including this summer so keep an eye out for announcements! certainblacks.com

It was great to meet trustees, volunteers and organisations at the opening of the new Newham Community Law Project. This has been a long time coming and I know for my constituents that having specialist support based in our community will make a huge difference.

I mean... who knew that whole 'progressive alliance' thing was just one-way bullshit?!

🌹 Forhad Hussain has appointed his first cabinet as Mayor of Newham! 💪 It’s time to get stuck in, start delivering our five pledges and move Newham forward together. Let’s get to work! #newham #labour #forhadhussain #cabinet #westham

My office was able to get a positive outcome for this constituent. Once the bay is moved they will feel much safer getting in and out of their car. Pleased to have been able to help

A statement on the Labour leadership

I recently judged the Newham final of the Jack Petchey Speak Out challenge. There were fourteen incredible speeches delivered by students from across the borough. I wish our winner all the best for the grand final - do it for Newham! @JPFoundation @SpeakersTrust

We're back again today at our usual Stratford Walk and HW spots from 1.30pm for #WHUARS with a warm @premierleague welcome to our friends from @Arsenal Ambient food, cash and cashless donations are welcome 🙏

Congratulations to the new Mayor of Newham - Forhad Hussain. We’re looking forward to working with you to deliver for the people of Newham.
