This year, I was honoured to write the foreword for 'Britain Called and We Answered', an extraordinary piece of archival history, preserving the memories & experiences of the Windrush generation for years to come. (2/2)
I am deeply saddened to hear of the tragic murder of Jamal Coombes, who was stabbed on Glycena Road #Battersea on Saturday.
My thoughts & prayers are with his family & friends.
Statement on Edinburgh Anti-Muslim Attack
Today is #WindrushDay, a day where we remember the Caribbean men & women who have contributed so much to this country, helping to rebuild Britain in the wake of the Second World War. (1/2)
💦🚨 The Environment Agency has granted £ 2,531,000 for #Battersea for flood defences & coastal erosion risk management.
Really pleased the Govt has taken this step to support long-term resilience for communities, ensuring that we meet the challenges of today & the future.
The Govt's decision to bring around 2000 workers back into the civil service will help to end unfairness at work, unacceptable levels of pay & poor conditions.
A huge well done to @pcsunion.bsky.social union & all who have been working towards this for a long time 👏

There are more reasons to be hopeful about our future with the EU than we even realise - let's lead boldly into that future with openness 👇

I welcome the Govt's bold action to ban social media for under-16s to protect children & young people as they grow-up in an online world.
I recently ran a survey with my constituents whose views were clear - 93% support a ban. It's right that the Govt has listened to parents, teachers & families.
Great to attend the 371st Clergy Support Trust festival, the charity for clergy in need.
I was deeply moved by testimonies from families supported by the trust and it was a privilege to deliver a reading at the magnificent St Paul's Cathedral.
