Another busy campaign day across our city starts here in Lambeth.

This Thursday, Londoners have one vote for Mayor in what is a close two-horse race between me & the hard right Tory candidate.

Join us on the #LabourDoorstep today ⬇️

60+ children were strip-searched every week in England & Wales in the year to March 2023.

Black, Asian and mixed-race children are all significantly more likely to be targeted for this intrusive and traumatic process.

These powers must be reined in.

It’s less than a week until the local elections. Have you received your postal vote ballot yet?

Don’t forget to fill it out and return it today! 🗳

The UK has a chronic shortage of care workers.

Instead of improving low pay & poor conditions for workers in the sector, the government is driving them down by denying those who care for our families a life with their own.

The war in Sudan is sadly not receiving much attention in the news, but the situation there is desperate.

There is credible evidence of ethnic cleansing & widespread sexual violence against women.

I asked the Deputy Foreign Secretary what the Government was doing about this 👇🏾

Great turnout at last night's canvass in Rush Common for Marina Ahmad AM and Sadiq Khan 🌹

With less than a week until polling day and everything to play for, it would take more than a little rain to put us off ☔

Please use all your votes for The Labour Party next week  #VoteLabour

I voted for an immediate ban on no fault evictions this week – the bare minimum required to ease the pressures on renters.

The Tories ran on this pledge in 2019 but not one of them voted for this.

That's how much a Tory promise is worth.

⭐️ NEW: Date announced for publication of first national Birth Trauma Inquiry in UK Parliament ⭐️👇

I'm proud to have made history with the first ever debate in Parliament on Lesbian Visibility Week

I will always speak up for LGBTQIA+ women, celebrating our successes highlighting our diversity & demanding more until we have equality for all

Thanks for all the positive contributions

Rail privatisation has been a total rip-off.

Passengers pay more and more whilst failing train companies are rewarded with new contracts despite record-breaking delays and cancellations.

A The Labour Party government would renationalise them.

London: it’s 7 days until the Mayoral election.

The Tories have changed the way Londoners vote – remember:

🚨 You need to show photo ID at the polling station

🚨 You can only vote once - there is no second preference

Hospices like Royal Trinity Hospice work so hard to support people at the end of their lives.

But at a time of rising demand, the cost of this vital work will increase by 20% next year whilst NHS funding falls in real terms.

The government must increase NHS funding for hospice care.

Thank you so much for hosting this important conversation, Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP. Keep up the fight!

Instead of cutting support for people with mental health conditions, the government should address the serious lack of NHS mental health provision.

Right now, we’re at our second, out of three, walkabouts on the Acre Lane Tesco SADPD consultation. If you’re a local resident with views feel free to come along or get in touch! #onyourside

Great to host campaigners, health professionals & birth practitioners in Parliament today to mark Black Maternal Health Awareness Week.

With growing awareness of the racism that impacts Black mothers, let's keep working to turn this consciousness into better care #BMHAW24

Today marks 11 years since the #RanaPlaza disaster in Bangladesh that killed at least 1,132 workers & injured over 2,500.

It remains one of the worst industrial incidents on record.

I pay tribute to those seeking justice & trade unionists organising in the garment industry. 🧵

It was an honour to host Justin Hansford in the House of Commons last night for an important conversation about human rights and reparations.

Thank you to everyone who joined Afrikan Reparations APPG for a packed-out discussion about the global reparations movement.

Govt promised me 6 months ago to end 'Gay Tax' for LGBTQ+ couples looking to start a family.

They have not

There are huge financial barriers in place for same-sex couples & a postcode lottery for services.

At #PMQ I asked Deputy PM to commit to ending the gay tax - he did not.
