Delighted to be re-elected as Chair of the @EyeHealthVIAPPG for another term 👁️ It’s great to have new MPs & Peers join the group & we had an important discussion on the work plan over the coming session - about the eye care support pathway, addressing the challenges in SEND and ensuring accessible transport & an inclusive built environment.

I'm running for Welsh Labour leader with the experience, values, vision, and broad support to lead a united movement into the future. But I also know what it would mean to people of all backgrounds to see a person like me as First Minister. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/w…

To the amazing, phenomenal Angela Davis. A very Happy 80th Birthday!!! 💗 Her Afro was such a powerful symbol of love and empowerment. An understanding that when you're of the first one's, you need to embrace that power and know who you are.

Great news! This will help so many of my constituents in Brent with the cost of living.
NEW: I’ve stepped in again to freeze all TfL fares as the cost-of-living crisis continues to hit Londoners hard. While people across the country face another hike in their rail fares, I am not prepared to stand by and see Londoners face a similar hike.

Every child deserves a fulfilling education. The Government has failed children with special educational needs and disabilities. These parents are done asking nicely; they want high-quality, inclusive education for all children.

Tonight parliament could have voted for a ceasefire. Sadly, it chose not to. The clear implication is that many are content to let violence continue and let the bodies pile higher. I voted for a ceasefire. I am pleased to say over 120 MPs voted the same way.

I did not vote for a ‘humanitarian pause’ as it provides no real relief from the violence. The vote means Britain’s voice will not be added to the growing clamour for a ceasefire. But we can say that the peace party in this country has found its voice and continues to grow.

Our government is a disgrace! Please, people, email your Tory MP. They are taking away your hard fought for freedoms. Where are the free speech people? Think about the things we need emergency legislation for like cost of living crisis, housing, AI.
🚨LET’S BE CLEAR. The Prime Minister just said he plans to introduce emergency legislation to disapply human rights laws & has actually threatened to join Russia & Belarus outside of the European convention on human rights. THE COUNTRY SHOULD BE IN UPROAR!

Today, as we mark Remembrance Sunday, I paid my respects at the Lighthouse Church and St Barnabus Church, and along with the rest of our nation, honour the brave men and women who gave their lives for our freedom. We will never forget their sacrifice. #LestWeForget

On #RemembranceSunday I laid a wreath at St.Michael & All Angels Church (Abbey Wood) and attended the remembrance service. I then laid a wreath at the #AbbeyWood Memorial Gardens. Thank you to Thamesmead & Abbey Wood @PoppyLegion for arranging the services. #LestWeForget

Proud to add my name to the Climate & Ecology Bill #KingsSpeech amendment. Instead of reneging on climate and nature commitments, our Government should lock them into law to reverse the destruction of nature and deliver a just transition #CEBill

Braverman must go. But we should be aware her sacking will not resolve the rise of the hard-right. Making people’s lives more economically secure, deepening democracy & devolving power to people & not the wealthy/corporations - is key. #SackBraverman

Alarming statistics on food poverty show that the Govt is continuing to let down the people of #LewishamEast After 13 years of economic chaos and incompetence, only a @UKLabour Govt can sort out this serious mess! 👇 newsshopper.co.uk/news/23915…

I attended yesterday's remembrance commemorations in Norwich and laid a wreath in front of the Norwich War Memorial. In memory of those who gave their lives for our freedoms, we will remember and honour them by building a more peaceful world.

The suffering associated with endometriosis is often private and unseen. We need a comprehensive approach to tackle the harm endometriosis causes. Endometriosis is a life-changing condition that continues to be under-researched and under-appreciated by those in power.
“It was like cement had been poured into my pelvis." Sky reporter @charline_bm looks into endometriosis, a health challenge affecting millions of women across the UK and the world. What is it and what’s being done to find a cure? 👇

Baverman has been sacked. Not before time. But why did Sunak ever appoint her in the first place? #BravermanOut
