Inspiring to hear from creatives and leaders at my recent music roundtable. Each overcame the challenges of being from a working-class background to become successful.
Looking forward to speaking to others and discussing how we can improve working-class access across the creative industries.

I've championed votes for 16- and 17-year-olds since I was elected in 2015.
I meet so many amazing young people in our local schools - they deserve the chance to shape their own futures.
By the next General Election, they'll have the right to vote.

(1/2) Brilliant to see the Gov announce £1bn of funding to community-owned energy projects across the UK.
From council tenants saving money on their bills, to community centres making profits for local enterprises, there are huge opportunities.

(1/4) Turning inward to a leadership contest now would be both wrong and counterproductive when there is still so much vital work ahead. Our focus should remain on delivering the change voters asked for, not distracting ourselves from it.

Kate Nash talking total sense when responding to my question on class & its relevance in the music industry, specifically touring in the EU as a British artist.

Pubs and music venues are a cornerstone of our communities, yet many are at risk of closure.
Nearly 50 MPs - including myself - signed a letter to the Chancellor calling for these vital spaces to be better protected against tax increases.

Fantastic morning at CTK Aquinas on Friday. I was seriously impressed by the students' curiosity & confidence - they asked questions on politics, social media, international relations & everything in between.
Always a pleasure to hear directly from the next generation.

In Lewisham, we have a proud history of welcoming refugees and immigrants, so much so that we became the UK’s first Borough of Sanctuary.
My caseworkers and I have also supported many hundreds of people with their immigration applications since I was first elected in 2015.

This Gov will not give in to wealthy investors trying to lobby and dilute our manifesto commitment. Labour is fighting for leaseholders who have faced injustice for too long. Our priority is to make their life more affordable.

I signed the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Book of Commitment, pledging my dedication to marking Holocaust Memorial Day – honouring the 6 million Jewish people murdered during the Holocaust.
As fascism rises globally, this day reminds us why liberal democracy must be protected.

Brilliant to watch Channel4's 4Schools workshop with Year 9s at Addey and Stanhope last Friday.
The students were given the chance to explore careers in creative industries - in broadcast, film and digital - and even had a go at developing their own content ideas.

NHS waiting lists are down by more than 312,000 since Labour came into office.
Great to see what this means locally: @lgtnhs.bsky.social's waiting lists have fallen by 13,289.
There's still much to do, but pleased the Gov's investments are starting to pay off.

Over 400+ constituents have been in touch with me concerned about the harms of social media on young people.
I - alongside 60 other MPs - have now signed a letter urging the Prime Minister to raise the minimum age for access to social media platforms to 16 years old.

We all know the harm social media causes to young people's mental health.
The Labour Govt has acted significantly in recent months.
Today, 61 Labour MPs have written to the PM urging him to go further.
We back an Australia-style model that puts the onus on tech firms to block under 16s access.

An honour to attend the service to mark the 45th anniversary of the New Cross Fire yesterday.
As ever, the strength shown by the survivors & families & friends of the 14 young people who lost their lives - as well as the wider community - was incredible.
Thanks to St Andrew's Brockley for hosting.
