19 Jul 2026Culture & CommunitycelebratoryA huge thank you to the educators, volunteers and organisers whose dedication helps make Kensington & Bayswater such a vibrant and supportive place to grow up.

16 Jul 2026Crime & PolicingmeasuredIt’s a brilliantly written but devastating story about the life and death of Zac Brettler, told through the prism of London's shad­owy under­world of ser­i­ous organ­ised crime, dirty money and the inter­na­tional net­works.
16 Jul 2026Utilities & WatermeasuredThe public has the right to know when pollution incidents occur. Any reduction in reporting undermines trust and accountability. Last week I asked the Government to ensure that whatever happens to Thames Water in the future, consumers will be the first priority.
16 Jul 2026Utilities & WaterangryI continue to be very concerned about Thames Water and their performance. We’ve now learned that they have slowed their rate of reporting pollution incidents by 70% since 2022.
15 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory...improving the rights of millions of workers and private renters, and leadership on the world stage, including on support for Ukraine. History will look kindly on his record in office, and I thank him for his service.
15 Jul 2026MP & ParliamentcelebratorySir Keir Starmer left our country in a better place than when he found it. His record is lifting 500,000 children out of poverty, reducing NHS waiting times by 400,000, introducing the Hillsborough Law...
14 Jul 2026MP & ParliamentcelebratoryFor Grenfell bereaved and survivors this is a huge moment as we continue their fight for Truth, Justice and Change. I thank the current Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the next Prime Minister Andy Burnham for all they have done to lead this progress.
14 Jul 2026MP & ParliamentcelebratoryTonight, we passed the Hillsborough Bill in the House of Commons, which I'm sure in decades to come will deliver a shift in power in this country away from the state, and towards openness and accountability.
13 Jul 2026Defence & SecuritycelebratoryI’m delighted the Government have confirmed in response to my question today that three organisations - including the IRGC - will be subject to the new powers in the National Security State Threats Act to protect our country.
13 Jul 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredI’ve heard strongly from our Iranian and Jewish communities of their concern about hostile state backed threats on British soil, including from the IRGC.
10 Jul 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredYesterday I raised his case in parliament, urging the Government to do more to support British nationals detained overseas and to help bring Billy home.
10 Jul 2026Defence & SecurityempatheticMy constituent Billy Hood has been in jail in the UAE for the past 5 years. This November he will turn 30. He is a father and a son, and his family desperately want him home.
9 Jul 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredThe process for selecting a new Leader of the Labour Party started this morning. You asked me what this will look like - here's how it works.
9 Jul 2026MP & ParliamentangryFarage is up to his neck in sleaze, and his latest stunt does nothing to dispel the many serious questions that remain about his finances and conduct. If he beats Binface and is re-elected in Clacton, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards should resume their investigations without delay.
9 Jul 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredThank you to the Ethics and Integrity Commission for their important report today on Lobbying Reform. Modernising our democracy to improve trust in politics requires a clear, consistent and transparent system that can’t be subverted by vested interests eic.independent-commission.uk/publication-...
9 Jul 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredGood week to remind those who seem to have forgotten about the Nolan Principles that guide public life…

9 Jul 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory...and ensures that those in power are always accountable to the people they serve. That has never been truer than in recent weeks. Andy has spent his career fighting for those principles, which is why I'm proud to support him.
9 Jul 2026MP & ParliamentcelebratoryAfter decades of institutional failure and cover-up, his commitment to giving ordinary people a voice when powerful institutions have failed them is exactly the kind of leadership that our country needs. Labour must be the party that cleans up politics, restores trust in public life...
9 Jul 2026MP & ParliamentcelebratoryOne of my priorities when I was elected two years ago was to fight in Parliament for Truth, Justice and Change for the Grenfell community. Andy has been a powerful advocate for the Hillsborough families over many years.
9 Jul 2026MP & ParliamentcelebratoryI know Andy has what it takes to unite people in this country in a hopeful vision that rejects the politics of division and negativity. I look forward to supporting him to tackle the cost of living, promote economic growth and improve living standards for all.
9 Jul 2026MP & ParliamentcelebratoryThis morning I was proud to nominate Andy Burnham to be the next Leader of the Labour Party and our next Prime Minister.
7 Jul 2026MP & ParliamentangryNigel Farage has resigned, but today’s stunt only reaffirms the questions he has to answer on his finances. He can’t evade this much longer.
7 Jul 2026Culture & CommunitycelebratoryIt was an honour to join the New West End Synagogue community for the induction and welcome of Rabbi Aaron and Rebbetzen Miriam Lipsey. Congratulations to the Chairman Jeff Altman and everyone involved in a beautiful event.
6 Jul 2026Tax & Public FinancescelebratoryI'm pleased that shell companies or corporate entities with no history of profit in the UK will no longer be able to make donations. At a time when political leaders are rightly facing tougher scrutiny for who funds them and whose interests they represent, this is an important step forward.
6 Jul 2026Tax & Public FinancescelebratoryI welcome the government's response to the Rycroft review. These measures show much-needed progress towards protecting our democracy from foreign financial influence and ensuring public trust comes before private money.
6 Jul 2026MP & ParliamentmeasuredPoliticians should serve the people who elected them, not billionaires based overseas.
