Big first week in Parliament and a real honour to be sworn in today as MP for Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven! I’m still setting up an office so please bear with me! To get in touch email: [email protected] And to join our team see: w4mpjobs.org/JobDetails.asp…

Hiking bills for Southern Water customers by 44% - £183 more per household - is completely unjustifiable. Their record is appalling and this will be seen as a further insult to bill payers. Change cannot come soon enough to our broken water industry. amp.theguardian.com/money/article/…

“For too long water companies have let the public down. That will now change”. Great to see quick and decisive action from Steve Reed MP to start fixing our broken water industry.

Our new MP for Brighton Kemptown & Peacehaven Chris Ward MP is recruiting for his Constituency and Parliamentary office. Housing is a priority for Chris, so he is looking for people with specialist knowledge on homelessness + housing. Apply by Mon, 5pm: chriswardmp.co.uk/job-openings/

It was great to meet Justlife today and to hear about the fantastic work you do on homelessness and with temporary accommodation in Brighton. Thanks for taking the time!

Delighted to join Liz Twist MP as PPS to the Prime Minister. The King’s Speech set out Labour’s plan for change. It’s an honour to support the PM in delivering it. This also means Keir Starmer will never be short of advice on what’s needed in Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven!

This is great news! Huge credit to Class Divide for their brilliant campaign and Brighton & Hove City Council for taking much needed action that will benefit kids across Whitehawk

A privilege to visit The Sussex Beacon today. I'm so grateful to staff and patients for taking time to share their stories and to make the case for change in HIV care.

Our campaign for free buses in the Argus today. Well done to all those families we worked alongside with to make this happen. And thanks to the councillors and officers who listened after years of inaction.

Wishing everyone a fantastic Brighton & Hove Pride today. 🌈 Have fun and be proud! x.com/brightonhovecc…

Quite right. Brighton is a city of sanctuary and diversity. There is no place for hate. I’m in touch with the police and local authorities who I know are taking this seriously.

We know that recent criminal disorder across the country has left some people feeling less safe. Please be assured we are fully prepared to protect our communities and hold anyone involved in violent disorder to account. Read our full statement 👉 spkl.io/60114h55l

Amazing scenes at the Amex yesterday. Never known such optimism at the first home game. Anything feels possible atm with the squad Brighton & Hove Albion are building!

Our brilliant volunteers are the heart of the community in Peacehaven. Great to meet so many this morning @peacehaventown

This is it. This is happening…… …I’m running the Brighton-half marathon for The Sussex Beacon - an amazing Brighton charity supporting people living with HIV. I can’t promise to run a good time…but hopefully we can raise money for a fantastic cause! justgiving.com/fundraising/Ch…

As the has Prime Minister set out, today was a day of truth for the victims and families of the Grenfell tragedy. It must now lead to justice, and defining change throughout our country.

Immediate action to tackle the sewage scandal that’s polluting our rivers and seas: fantastic work by @SteveReedMp and Labour’s environment team. From the Pier to Peacehaven, we know how vital our beaches are. This is a welcome first step in ensuring their future 👇🏽

Always a pleasure to have Trades Union Congress Congress back in Brighton (the go-to venue for all conferences imo The Labour Party 👀) Great to speak to so many delegates about Labour’s plans for a new deal for working people.

Today, September 10th, is World Suicide Prevention Day. Local charity Grassroots Suicide Prevention have launched their online suicide prevention hub to mark this. I’ve seen first hand the number of people struggling in our city and this will mean so much. prevent-suicide.org.uk/prevention-hub/

Great to have Keir Starmer in Brighton today for Trades Union Congress conference. The kind words for our city are greatly welcome. So is his commitment to the new deal for working people. And so continues the campaign to get @uklabour conference back to Brighton 😉
