@suthersuk @CAFCofficial @SELondonChamber Good to see you there Steve, it was a very pleasant morning. @SELondonChamber. Always good to have chance to talk with local businesses. Also, I’m glad @CAFCofficial look like they are staying up.

I was delighted to represent @CAFCofficial at this morning’s excellent @SELondonChamber Business Breakfast at the stunning Royal Blackheath Golf Club. The guest speaker was @CliveEfford MP, who I have known for many years. Clive’s constituency takes in the #cafc Sparrows Lane Training Ground. Congratulations to Chamber President @christofi_c123 and his colleagues for arranging such an excellent event.

From 6th April, we’re strengthening Statutory Sick Pay, introducing day one rights to Paternity Leave and Unpaid Parental Leave, and supporting employers to produce gender equality and menopause action plans. This is just the start.

Last year, my first-ever Summer Streets fund brought outdoor dining and socialising to London. Now I’m bringing it back for Summer 2026, with £400,000 to support more London cafes, bars and restaurants to offer al fresco dining and longer opening hours.

Year 3S enjoyed their Geography trip to Sutcliffe Park this week. They observed the River Quaggy, learned how the park is designed to manage flooding, and drew maps of the park using a key.

"Ultimately politics is about finding solutions to fix things..." "Ranting at people doesn't provide that." @liambyrnemp says populist governments create a socio-economic doom loop that could cost every Briton £22,000 over 10-15 years. @theJeremyVine | #JeremyVine

If you are bringing a decorated egg to school for the Eggstravangza competition please make sure it has your name on it and take it to your classroom. We look forward to seeing how creative you’ve been this year!

I confirmed that as a government we remain firmly committed to honouring each and every one of the commitments we made in our manifesto 👇🏻

Our Renters’ Rights Act will see Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions abolished on 1 May in 37 days’ time. It would be utterly shameful for any landlord to attempt to use it to evict tenants en masse before that date. theguardian.com/society/2026/m…

This Labour Government is committed to supporting small businesses and investing in our young people's future.

This Labour Government is investing in the future of our young people.

This Labour government is fighting people's corner. We're cutting energy bills. We're calling out price gouging. And just now the Prime Minister has set out further support for those who use heating oil. Affordability is the number one issue, and we're determined to act.

@BBCBreakfast My sincere condolences to the family and friends of former post master and former constituent Parmod Kalia who was wrongly imprisoned by the Post Office #horizonscandal who has passed away without seeing justice.

Another former sub postmaster has died, still waiting for compensation for being wrongly convicted in the Post Office scandal. Parmod Kalia had his conviction overturned in 2021, 20 years after being sentenced to six months in jail after being falsely accused of stealing £22,000 bbc.co.uk/news/topics/c9…
