Our Creative Industries are thriving but we can always do more to support them.

It was great to meet with @peterbazalgette & the chairs of the Creative Industries Council working groups to discuss new opportunities to grow these brilliant sectors.

This is nuts. The last thing any business needs is Labour to 'help' them because the owner is black, or a woman. I started 4 businesses before becoming an MP and all I and my teams ever wanted was for the government to stop interfering and taxing me so I could make a profit

Speaking with shop workers in Harold Hill it was clear that too many had been victims of abuse + feared assault. This is a welcome step that will help protect them, deter shoplifters & complement the great work of local officers in the Clear, Hold, Build project in Farnham Road.

My team & I have been surveying Hornchurch shopkeepers in recent weeks on local banking services due to closure of Barclays. Want to see if we can make a case for a banking hub. Keen for residents' feedback too so we can gather evidence base. Survey here julialopez.co.uk/news/mp-calls-…

Education Secretary, Gillian Keegan MP has written to confirm we've had a further two successful bids by schools in the constituency for Condition Improvement Funding.

That’s how much, on average, a family will save from the government’s full expansion of childcare provision in September 2025.

That’s equivalent to 👇

Recently had a detailed meeting with our local superintendent to relay residents' views of neighbourhood policing.

V pleased to see Havering MPS announce today significant investment in ward teams with new officers going to St Andrews, Elm Park, Upminster, Cranham and Hacton.

Glad to visit the Meadowbanks Care Home in Upminster today to discuss road safety, the frailty clinic at the forthcoming St George’s NHS hub, local recruitment and more. A really beautiful environment for residents, run by a very dedicated, professional team.

The work-in-progress Schwarzman Centre will soon be Experience Oxfordshire’s newest cultural hub and yet another reason for tourists to choose the UK

Tourism Minister Julia Lopez MP went behind the scenes to see the new home of Oxford’s humanities, with music, art and performance spaces

A very blessed Good Friday to Christians here in the UK and around the world.
