The only thing better than getting signed by a top flight football team is finally getting the chance to sign my official @lambeth_council declaration to become your @LambethLabour Councillor for Clapham East #OnYourSide 🌹 Thank you to everyone who put their faith in me!

Final Councillor surgery for Clapham East. A pleasure to help lots of residents over the last 4 years and work alongside excellent staff in Clapham Library. 📚

The government’s additional funding will help us deliver key priorities in our Rough Sleeping Action Plan, working closely with London Councils to tackle and prevent homelessness across the capital ⬇️

London is a better, brighter place for our diversity. Wonderful to come together with thousands of Londoners at Diwali on the Square today. Wishing Sikh, Jain and Hindu communities the very best as they prepare to celebrate the Festival of Lights. ✨️

They haven’t listened and they haven’t learned.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us at Lambeth Labour!🎄

Wishing a Merry Christmas to everyone in Clapham & Brixton Hill and beyond!

I teamed up with @LittleVillageHQ last weekend to collect pre-loved baby clothing and equipment for families in need in our local area. Huge thanks to the Labour members and councillors who volunteered, and to the families of Clapham & Brixton Hill for donating so generously.

No one should be forced to sleep rough on our streets. The funding announced by @AngelaRayner today will save lives by ensuring rough sleepers have access to a safe and warm bed.

Toilet provision is critical for many Londoners and visitors travelling on public transport. That’s why I'm making the biggest ever investment to increase toilet provision across @TfL services. bbc.in/4fmkKMy

November is Islamophobia Awareness Month. With Islamaphobia on the rise its a powerful reminder that there is no place for hate crimes. Acceptance is the key to all of our happiness. We are all uniquely different, it's what makes us special. Peace and love #Islamophobia.

The Football Governance Bill was introduced in parliament last Thursday, delivering on Labour’s manifesto commitment to establish the independent football regulator. The regulator will introduce a new set of rules designed to protect clubs, empower fans and keep clubs at the heart of their communities. The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Lisa Nandy, and I met Christine Seddon, chair of @BlackpoolST, on a ministerial visit to Blackpool at the end of August. She described how the Trust was originally founded to bring about a change of ownership at Blackpool FC—an objective that was successfully achieved in 2019. English football is an essential part of the social fabric of Britain but irresponsible owners, unsustainable financial models and inadequate regulation have cast a shadow over too many clubs. This legislation will safeguard the future of our local clubs and their heritage, while the light-touch regulation will avoid adverse impacts on investment in English football or on club competitiveness.
