I was delighted to visit Sai Pharmacy to discuss the critical role community pharmacies play providing better healthcare to people.

I am pleased that the Labour Government has agreed a record funding uplift of £3.1 billion for the pharmacy sector.

Great news that there will be more officers on the streets in Spitalfields.

A great example of our Labour Mayor Sadiq Kahn working with this Labour Government to tackle crime and prioritise neighbourhood policing.

Fantastic to visit the satellite company, ClearSpace at their new home in Aldgate.

It’s exciting to see such a cutting-edge business, working on debris removal in space, satellite life extension and robotics, thriving in our constituency.

Deeply saddened by the tragic news of the military aircraft crash in Dhaka.

My thoughts are with the victims, their families and all those who have been affected.

The suffering and bloodshed in Gaza must end.

There needs to be an immediate ceasefire and a full resumption of humanitarian aid.

The last Labour Government cut rough sleeping by two thirds. Since 2010, it increased by 164% under the Tories.

This Labour Government is taking action to tackle the root causes of homelessness and rough sleeping by providing almost £1 billion of funding.

On the 20th anniversary of 7/7, we remember the 52 people who lost their lives and all those who were injured and affected.

We also pay tribute to the incredible courageousness and selflessness of the emergency services that day.

We must unite against all those wishing to sow division and hatred.

Delighted our Labour Government is investing £39 billion in social and affordable housing.

The biggest investment in social and affordable housing in a generation.

Delighted we are repealing the outdated Vagrancy Act 1824. This will ensure rough sleeping is no longer a criminal offence, ending two centuries of injustice towards some of the most vulnerable in our country.
Rough sleeping to be decriminalised after 200 years
The Government has confirmed it will repeal the outdated Vagrancy Act 1824 by Spring next year, to ensure rough sleeping is no longer a criminal offence.

An honour to meet the Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority.

The UK restated its commitment to advancing Palestinian statehood.

The Gov announced £101 million funding to the Palestinian Authority and continues to press for a return to the ceasefire & a return of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

We honour the sacrifices of those who gave so much for our freedom.

It’s a privilege to represent this extraordinary part of the East End of London, where I grew up.

I’ve always worked hard to unite our community, to tackle injustice at home and abroad, and to fight for a better future for us all.

I'm incredibly grateful to all those who have supported me.
