Out today with the Beckton team talking to local people about issues in their area. The sun was out and it’s always good to be out catching up in my old council ward.

There are still families in East London who rely of the support and kindness of others. Our faith communities play an important role in providing that. Today, I asked whether the Church will continue its good work across the community to provide that strong network of support.

Lovely to be mentioned here with a picture from our friends @YourRoyalDocks who supported us from the start!

A £150,000 share of the Creative Foundation Fund with be going to @certain_blacks. A local organisation that supports artists and organises events and festivals. This is part of the Government’s £1.5 billion investment through the Arts Everywhere Fund.

It was good to celebrate another year of good work at the West Silvertown Foundation. It’s always great to speak with volunteers and hear about all the ways they’ve supported our community.

Happy Vaisakhi to everyone celebrating in West Ham and Beckton! Wishing you all the best for the new season.

Happy Nepali New Year West Ham and Beckton! All the best for the year ahead.

The cases I help with are often urgent, every day we speak to people in our community who are vulnerable and under significant stress. This flat will be a new start for this constituent and their family, I am pleased that we were able to support them at a difficult time.

Door knocking in Canning Town this weekend with the local team. #LabourDoorstep

Out and about this afternoon talking to residents about local issues in West Ham with the local council team. Picked up lots of casework with constituents which we will follow up next week.

This week, I dropped into a session at local charity, Space4me. They support young people with additional needs and disabilities with work and employment. It was great to join in with some of the session and to hear about Space4me’s impact.

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

Newham is introducing a new tool to support blind and partially sighted residents to vote The “McGonagle Reader” will be rolled out across the borough for the first time at the May 7 Local Elections. newham.gov.uk/news/article/1…

The Mayor of London is investing £30million in youth clubs including here in Newham. This is after decades of austerity have seen clubs and programmes disappear. The 'Youth Lates' programme will give young Londoners a place to go after school, in the evening and at weekends.

I recently visited the @PostOffice Cash Hub that serves East London. We spoke about access to cash, the impact of street bank closures and cash infrastructure and movement. I also had a briefing on how to recognise counterfeit notes using features like holograms.

Wishing everyone in West Ham & Beckton and beyond a very happy and peaceful Easter.

We're back again tomorrow from 2-ish at our usual spots for #WHULEE with a warm @EmiratesFACup welcome to our friends from @LUFC Ambient food, cash and cashless donations are welcome 🙏 #RightToFood

We held a drop-in for leaseholders in Hallsville Quarter. Residents were pleased to hear about planned leasehold & ground rent reforms but concerned about rising service charges. I’ve been working with local leaseholder groups & will continue to push for further changes.
