It was a pleasure to be invited to the Lewisham Red Cross Charity this afternoon to chat with the staff.

The Red Cross has played such a vital role in international crises throughout its existence & I'm proud to have a branch in Lewisham supporting the BRC and our local economy

This conflict must end. We need an immediate ceasefire, hostages returned, UNRWA funded & Gaza flooded with aid.

More than this, after a decade of lost hope for a better future, we must bring people together with a renewed drive for a peaceful, lasting two-state solution.

80,000 young people who lack the mental capacity to manage their own finances are locked out of their Child Trust Fund.

Thanks to @bimafolomi for agreeing to meet to discuss this further. I hope his offer is extended to campaigners.

Good luck to all students who are starting to take their exams this term. Place2Be has some helpful tips you can use for managing your mental health during this period. place2be.org.uk/exams

I’m supporting #WorldAsthmaDay to raise awareness of asthma triggers to help those with the condition to keep their symptoms under control. Visit the Asthma + Lung UK website to find out more. bit.ly/4dhB3Kd

The govt’s minister for disabled people Mims Davies MP appears to disagree with her own govt policy encouraging stakeholders to brand it ‘dangerous.’ This government really is a total shambles. After 14 years of failing disabled people it really is time for change

How will the Tories fund their £46bn a year commitment? Currently this money goes to fund pensions and the NHS.

My colleague Jonathan Ashworth here putting the questions the Tories can’t answer.

Was great to join The New Hope Project in New Cross this afternoon to talk to the staff & residents there.

They do amazing work supporting men's mental health. A Labour Govt will recruit 8,500 more mental health workers.

EXPLAINED: How Labour will fix Britain’s railways 🚆👇

Britain’s railways are broken.

Cancellations have soared to record levels, fares have risen almost twice as fast as wages, and taxpayers are paying through the teeth to prop up a failing system.

Labour will deliver a publicly owned railway that puts the passenger first.

Thanks to everyone who attended the Woodpecker community meeting, in my Lewisham Constituency on Saturday.
It was great to hear all the thoughts on the area and I look forward to our plans for the summer.

Thanks to DHL Express UK for inviting me to visit their centre in Lewisham. It was really interesting to learn about the steps they are taking to improve sustainability.

The irony of saying you want disabled people in work. Yet scrapping the scheme to help them get back into work

Ministers lowered performance targets for failing firms…opening the door to lucrative taxpayer-funded bonuses.
 
Rigging the rules to reward failure.

With Labour, change is coming. We will bring our railways into public ownership as contracts expire.

Amazing turnout across Lewisham North today in Deptford, Brockley, Evelyn and New Cross Gate for Len Duvall AM Sadiq Khan and David Walker .

Thanks to Naushabah Khan 🌹 and Lauren Edwards and the fab Medway Labour activists for the help.

After leaving the NHS on its knees and making Britain sicker, the Tories have decided to...blame the doctors.

This country is crying out for a general election.
