London: it’s 7 days until the Mayoral election.

The Tories have changed the way Londoners vote – remember:

🚨 You need to show photo ID at the polling station

🚨 You can only vote once - there is no second preference

Hospices like Royal Trinity Hospice work so hard to support people at the end of their lives.

But at a time of rising demand, the cost of this vital work will increase by 20% next year whilst NHS funding falls in real terms.

The government must increase NHS funding for hospice care.

Thank you so much for hosting this important conversation, Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP. Keep up the fight!

Instead of cutting support for people with mental health conditions, the government should address the serious lack of NHS mental health provision.

Great to host campaigners, health professionals & birth practitioners in Parliament today to mark Black Maternal Health Awareness Week.

With growing awareness of the racism that impacts Black mothers, let's keep working to turn this consciousness into better care #BMHAW24

Today marks 11 years since the #RanaPlaza disaster in Bangladesh that killed at least 1,132 workers & injured over 2,500.

It remains one of the worst industrial incidents on record.

I pay tribute to those seeking justice & trade unionists organising in the garment industry. 🧵

It was an honour to host Justin Hansford in the House of Commons last night for an important conversation about human rights and reparations.

Thank you to everyone who joined Afrikan Reparations APPG for a packed-out discussion about the global reparations movement.

Govt promised me 6 months ago to end 'Gay Tax' for LGBTQ+ couples looking to start a family.

They have not

There are huge financial barriers in place for same-sex couples & a postcode lottery for services.

At #PMQ I asked Deputy PM to commit to ending the gay tax - he did not.

The government recently changed the law to make it harder for some people to vote.

If you don't have a passport, driving licence, or another accepted form of ID then you can apply for a free voter ID: gov.uk/apply-for-phot…

The deadline is 5pm today!

NEW: Housing charities have withdrawn their support for the Renters Reform Bill

@shelter & Renters' Reform Coalition who have previously backed govt reforms say they’ve been watered down by “a minority of landlord backbenchers” and will be a “colossal failure that won’t protect tenants.”

Mass graves have been discovered at Gaza hospital sites vacated by the IDF. Some bodies had their hands bound.

The government withdrew funding from UNRWA on the basis of unconfirmed allegations.

They continue to sell arms to Israel despite the continued atrocities in Palestine.

Yesterday I hosted the launch of @IBVPrev's sobering but crucial new report on hate crime against the East and Southeast Asian community.

We need a hate crime strategy with tried and tested models of support. Read my article in today's Guardian 👇

Fantastic to attend the recent Hope for Justice conference. Building safer communities for all requires a wholesale transformation of our policing & criminal justice system and a commitment to tackle institutional racism across society.
