Nice to have a clean slate from Twitter. Reminder that in following me you'll get a lot of Labour politics and dogs, mostly spaniels.

This weekend we come together to honour the service and sacrifice of those who fought and died for our country.

As ever, a privilege to take part in Remembrance Day services at Maze Hill, St. John's Blackheath, Charlton Village and Charlton cemetery.

We will remember them.

This Labour government is committed to strengthening the regulation of managing agents to drive up service standards across the industry.

I have asked Firstport’s Managing Director to meet with me to discuss the significant concerns raised by MPs of all parties.

Homelessness and rough sleeping devastate lives.

They have been too high for too long in our country and today this government is injecting another £84 million to tackle it, including over half a million here in Greenwich.

To accelerate housing delivery and unlock economic growth, this Labour government will build the next generation of new towns.

High-quality, well-designed, sustainable, and liveable communities – we’re determined to have spades in the ground on at least three in this Parliament.

It has been both a pleasure and a privilege to work with Angela Rayner over the past two years.

She’s put her heart and soul into delivering for this Labour government and leaves a legacy to be proud of.

Deeply saddened that yet another young life has been lost in our community today following a stabbing on Woolwich Church St. My thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased. I urge anyone with any information to call 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 (Ref: 3795/07JAN25).

Opaque and unaffordable service charges are putting leaseholders and tenants across the country under immense strain.

The government are committed to improving service charge transparency and making it easier to challenge unreasonable increases.

Change is on its way.
