While the world’s attention is on Israel, Iran and the urgent need to deescalate, it remains that the unending assault on Gaza is biggest threat to regional security.

With a million Gazans on the brink of starvation, I asked the PM to commit to restoring funding to UNWRA.…

It was great to be at the launch of Sadiq Khan’s new policy to end rough sleeping in London today.

While the Tories have tried to criminalise rough sleeping and called it a “lifestyle choice”, our Mayor is responding with compassion.

🌹 Make sure to vote Labour on 2nd May.

A vote for Labour on 2nd May is a vote to end homelessness.

Under the Tories, rough sleeping has doubled.

While the Conservatives plan to criminalise rough sleeping, Sadiq Khan is showing compassion, pledging £10m to help rebuild their lives.

The Renters Reform Bill, when it eventually appeared after years of delay, heavily diluted protections for renters.

The 85K households put at risk of homelessness demonstrates the human cost of the Tory inaction.

Only Labour will immediately ban them.

Since Universal Credit (UC) was introduced, I have been warning that merging social security benefits into a single system would be harmful for disabled people.

The Resolution Foundation’s report shows UC system is not fit for purpose - A single person with a long-term…

#DWP 's decision to prosecute #Carers is heartless and stupid. As a former DWP Minister I think the entire #carersallowance needs reform Marsha de Cordova MP Patrick Butler Helen Barnard . These people doing essential work and are treated abysmally. Here's why

Climate is on the ballot in the Mayoral election.

From improving air quality to reducing bills through energy efficiency, Sadiq Khan has shown leadership on green issues.

Hall offers nothing but delay on net-zero and denial of climate science.

We recently spoke with Marsha de Cordova MP, MP for Battersea, about how optometry’s “willing and waiting” workforce should be embraced to address patient backlogs, plus equal access to eye healthcare for all locally. Read more 👉 ow.ly/JTT950ReRtz #OT #Optometry

This story demonstrates the sheer perversity of Tory sanctions.

Carers save the state millions through their unpaid work.

But after being prosecuted for 30p a week overpayment, Henderson now costs the taxpayer £1,300 monthly since being made homeless.

Following reports of shoplifting & intimidation of staff at the Battersea Park Rd Budgens, I paid a visit with officers of Wandsworth Police.

It was great to meet the team & discuss solutions to the issues they are facing.

While the Tories have broken our criminal justice system,…

More than 139K children and young people provide care for over 20 hours every week.

Their selfless service shouldn’t limit their chances in life.

I signed the Young Carers Covenant, pledging my commitment to help young carers access opportunities & have choice in their lives.

Susan Hall cheered on Donald Trump, hailed Liz Truss's mini-Budget which crashed the economy and called Suella Braverman an 'ideal home secretary'.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Don't let the Tories do to London what they've done to the rest of the country.

This #WorldParkinsonsDay , the theme is ‘there isn’t one Parkinson’s journey’ - every journey is unique.

I’m proud to support the Parkinson’s community through each individual journey with the condition.

Following reports of crime and anti-social behaviour, I held a walkabout with Wandsworth Police around Battersea Park Road & the Doddington Estate.

It was an important opportunity to discuss some of the issues in the area and propose solutions.

Schools were already struggling after 14 years of underfunding.

Now, as pupil numbers fall, many schools are seeing their budgets contract, endangering everyone's education.

The govt must urgently reconsider the schools funding formula.
