13 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentcelebratory“Great day campaigning for Andy Burnham in the Makerfield by-election with Labour Unions, Angela Rayner, Lucy Powell and many other brilliant activists from across the country.”↗
12 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“Fantastic to join Laura Henry-Allain MBE for the launch of her new book Maya & Marley and the New Friend in Portobello Square 📚 In the National Year of Reading, it’s never been more important to inspire a love of books in every child (and perhaps all commit to a little less screen time too...)”↗
12 Jun 2026Transportcelebratory“I'm delighted our campaign for better regulation took a big step forward today, with the Government confirming new licensing arrangements for London will come in in the next few months to fix this mess. It can't come soon enough.”↗
12 Jun 2026Transportmeasured“As a cyclist myself I support more safer cycling in London - but it can't be right Lime make huge profits for venture capitalists in California, while the NHS and our local council pick up the costs.”↗
12 Jun 2026Transportempathetic“Lime leg injuries, anti-social parking and pavement riding are all too common. One constituent has faced multiple surgeries after a hit and run from a child on a hacked Lime bike.”↗
12 Jun 2026Defence & Securitycelebratory“Britain and Morocco have a long history of friendship and partnership, and it is getting stronger. I invited everyone to watch Brazil v Morocco tomorrow night in North Kensington...”↗
12 Jun 2026Defence & Securitycelebratory“It was an honour to celebrate one year of the UK-Morocco Enhanced Strategic Partnership in Parliament this week with @mphamishfalconer.bsky.social, His Excellency Hakim Hajoui, @chelfulhamben.bsky.social, and many others.”↗
10 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“The role of Supplementary Schools play a vital role in supporting our children and young people - from after school clubs, language classes and tuition groups. Thank you so much to everyone involved in making the event happen and for all your hard work supporting our community.”↗
10 Jun 2026Educationcelebratory“A wonderful visit to the Supplementary Schools Exhibition in North Kensington recently with Councillors Abdullahi Nur and Nadia Nail. We are so lucky to have such a diverse community of passionate educators in Kensington & Bayswater.”↗
10 Jun 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“It’s over two years since the consultation on policy options closed. It’s time to take bold action.”↗
10 Jun 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“The tax lawyer Dan Neidle recently found that the ultimate owners of 45,000 properties worth an estimated £190 billion are still hidden from public view. I want London to remain open to investment, but at a bare minimum we should have full transparency over who owns what.”↗
8 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentangry“What is Nigel Farage not telling us about his £5m “gift”? I spoke to Danny Finkelstein on Times Radio earlier today about the many unanswered questions surrounding Christopher Harborne’s generous “gift” to the Reform leader. It’s time for him to come clean.”↗
8 Jun 2026Local Governmentmeasured“But just as important as the funding, is the commitment to additional scrutiny outside of RBKC. I agree with residents who want more transparency over the refurbishment, and I look forward to working with them to ensure RBKC are properly held to account.”↗
8 Jun 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“Nine years later, progress has been painfully slow, so I'm glad the Government is stepping in with an additional £8M to ensure there are no further delays.”↗
8 Jun 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“Residents on the Lancaster West estate surrounding Grenfell were promised change after the fire, with a commitment of a model 21st century housing estate.”↗
6 Jun 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“Had a great time at the Bloomsbury Football half term club last week. I grew up playing football at the Westway and it was great to see the talent of the future in action (and maybe even a future QPR player or two!)”↗
5 Jun 2026Health & NHScelebratory“You have until 17 July to make your voice heard, and I'd encourage as many people as possible to take part.”↗
5 Jun 2026Health & NHScelebratory“We urgently need a new St Mary's Hospital, and I'm pleased that this government has committed £50 million to get the project back on track. The next phase of the consultation is open, and now's your chance to have your say on the design 👇🏻 www.imperial.nhs.uk/st-marys-dev...”↗
4 Jun 2026Otherangry“Their policy on cryptocurrency has been brought and paid for by the industry, including the £5M undeclared gift to Nigel Farage. Their policies are a mess and unravel with the lightest of scrutiny.”↗
4 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentsarcastic“What do Reform actually believe in? They promised to cut council tax, but where they run councils from Kent to Durham they've increased it. Their shadow team is arguing amongst themselves on social media about their immigration policy.”↗
4 Jun 2026Crime & Policingmeasured“We must do everything we can to ensure that Truth, Justice and Change for Grenfell is achieved as soon as possible.”↗
4 Jun 2026Crime & Policingmeasured“It's vital justice is delivered as swiftly as possible for Grenfell bereaved and survivors. Today I asked @elliereeves.bsky.social to ensure the government works with the judiciary to prepare for when charges are confirmed next year, so that there are not further delays in the courts.”↗
3 Jun 2026Technology & Digitalmeasured“This afternoon I handed over our community submission to the Government's public consultation on a social media ban for under 16s to Secretary of State @lizforleicester.bsky.social and Minister Kanishka Narayan. I look forward to the government response in the coming weeks.”↗

1 Jun 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“Wishing everyone in Kensington & Bayswater and across London a very Happy Pride Month 🌈”↗
29 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“The government's moratorium on cryptocurrency donations is a great start, but there is a lot more to do.”↗
29 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Trust in politics is fundamental to what we all want, which is effective government changing peoples' lives for the better. The only way to rebuild that trust is to do politics differently, including reforms that give more power to people and shine a light on those subverting our democracy.”↗
29 May 2026MP & Parliamentsarcastic“One of the lesser spotted things Tony Blair gets wrong in his essay is his assertion that: "The challenge of democracy is not transparency, honesty or conspiracy theories about the hidden power of elites."”↗
29 May 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“Enjoyed campaigning in the Makerfield by-election for Andy Burnham this week. It was interesting to hear several voters tempted by Reform citing the undeclared £5 million gift to Nigel Farage as one reason they would be voting Labour.”↗
29 May 2026Othercelebratory“Speaking up for global cooperation and solidarity has become hard in recent years, but they are absolutely right to keep pushing for a better future - including reducing child mortality so that every child has a chance to thrive.”↗
