Great to be at the official opening of Nilgun Canver Court named in honour of the former Haringey councillor. The 80 council homes part funded by Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan will house local people at affordable council rents. A fitting tribute to Nilgun. Well done to all who made this happen

It was an absolute delight to hear the year 4 & 5 students perform the finale of their 30 week music programme in the East Court of Alexandra Palace. Well done to everyone at Haringey Music Service and all the schools who invest in such a brilliant free activity for their students!

My question to the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice ⬇️

For too long now, the people of #Cyprus have been divided. On the 50th anniversary of the events of 1974, the UK restates its commitment to a lasting, comprehensive & just settlement which benefits all Cypriots, within the UN parameters of a Bi-zonal, Bi-Communal Federation 1/2

Grateful to attend a roundtable discussion by the BGIPU on the 10th anniversary of the Yazidi genocide. It is important that we go beyond commemoration and push for justice and accountability, for the victims of this terror and the 2700 women that are yet to be found.

Yesterday I had the privilege of attending the Labour Friends of Palestine & the Middle East reception, where I caught up with my friend Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian Ambassador. We spoke about the restoration of UNRWA funding and Labour’s fresh approach to the crisis in Gaza.

Great to be out litter picking in Tower Gardens N17 with Friends of Tower Gardens Park and to hear their ideas for the park and the local area

I just voted to renationalise our railways - the first Labour bill of this Parliament comfortably passed its second reading tonight!

Great to speak to members of Haringey Youth Council and Elevated Youth Haringey - a forum for young people with SEND. Heard of challenges young people with SEND face: like accessible youth activities & SEND funding. I’ll fight for more opportunities for youth in Haringey.

My FCDO question on #Gaza and the terrifying attacks on the Al-Mawasi safe zone ⬇️ Multiple IDF air strikes resulted in the bombing of Medical Aid for Palestinians and IRC - International Rescue Committee compounds, while killing many civilians. I will continue to push for a ceasefire, aid and the safety of civilians

Statement.

Fantastic to hear that NICE have approved gene-editing therapy as a treatment and potential cure for thalassaemia. This will transform the lives of patients with beta-thalassaemia who have to have regular blood transfusions. Well done all at UK Thalassaemia Society for lobbying hard for this

Congratulations to everyone in Southgate and Wood Green and across the UK receiving their A-Level, T-Level and BTEC results today. You should be very proud of all your hard work. Wishing you all the best of luck with whatever you go on to do next #ResultsDay2024

Great to catch up with James Ryan, Borough Commander for LFB Enfield at Southgate fire station and to hear about the challenges they are facing. I am pleased to support London Fire Brigade’s #ChargeSafe campaign to prevent fires arising in e-bikes and e-scooters

Very sad to hear about the passing of Nicky Gavron. She was a wonderful person and an excellent Assembly Member for Enfield & Haringey. Smart, effective, incredibly knowledgable about planning and sustainable housing, she had a real vision for London and got things done

Met with CAFOD, Debt Justice and Christian Aid to discuss #debtjustice for lower-income countries. It is a systemic failure that 3.3 bn people live in countries that spend more on debt interest repayments, than on health & education. Debt reform has never been more urgent.

Delighted to catch up with my good friend Bambos Charalambous to discuss regional developments and current pressing issues in Iraq and #KRI #KurdistanRegion. We also discussed the bilateral relationship and the continued friendship between our countries, as well as increasing future
