Lauren needed a suitable adapted property due to a serious medical condition. After my office made representations to her housing association and the council, she was offered an appropriate property to move to. 🏡 Need help on a similar issue?

I’ve launched a local engagement survey to understand how constituents prefer to receive updates on my work and what events would be of interest. ✍️👇 Your feedback will help us plan better outreach. Take the survey here: forms.gle/KKDNZxuRozKHZFp59

The resignations of John and Al are deeply saddening and represent serious losses for our country. John’s leadership delivered real investments in our armed forces - in pay, in collaboration with our closest allies, and in forces housing that was left in an appalling state after 14 years of decay. 👇

We must name what is happening in Belfast: it is organised racist violence which tramples the wishes of victims and their families. National security requires us not just to deal with the perpetrators, but with those who fuel it, often aligning with enemies abroad to do so. 👇

RT @BBCNewsnight: "Let's call this what it is. That isn't protest, that is.... organised, racialised attacks." Labour MP Calvin Bailey on…

Defence investment should unashamedly back British jobs and British industry. Today I told @GMB_union Congress we will go further than any government has to deliver that mirror.co.uk/news/politics/d…

Great to shout out some of our small hospitality businesses in Parliament – Noted Pie & Mash, @homiesondonkeys, @BareBrewE11, City Place, and Fresh as a Daisy. 🍽️ I asked the Chancellor what she’s doing to support young families and renters locally 👇

Around 3,000 young people in Leyton & Wanstead are NEET and keen to work or train – but the system is failing them. 👇 Last week I met apprenticeship providers, education leaders and invited the Skills Minister to Whipps to push for real pathways into jobs for our young people.

Henry Nowak’s murder was a vile act, and all our thoughts should be with his family. Politicians need to respond by focusing on what happened and what needs to change. Instead, we’ve seen the likes of Farage disgracefully using this tragedy to fuel further violence. 👇

As someone who served alongside the 75th Ranger Regiment, whose predecessors landed on D-Day, I find it extraordinary that anyone would use those commemorations to sow division. The men who crossed those beaches fought for liberal democracy, not fear of the outsider. To use its commemoration to divide people is to misunderstand the very cause for which they fought.

82 years ago, on the beaches of Normandy, brave British and Allied forces changed the course of history forever. We must never forget the service and sacrifice of those courageous men and women. Our debt to them can never be repaid.

Today, we commemorate 82 years since the Normandy landings, beginning the liberation of Western Europe. We honour the bravery and sacrifice of all those who fought and defeated fascism. We will remember them.

Pride month should be a time for celebration and joy, but sadly, that isn’t what I’ve heard from LGBT constituents and allies over recent days. I intervened in Parliament’s Pride Month debate to ask for assurances that impacts from the EHRC guidance will be reviewed and addressed. 👇

This week we’ve seen positive steps towards prostate cancer screening. Sadly, Reform have chosen divisive race-baiting in response. I asked the Prime Minister to oppose Reform’s nonsense and stand with the men and their families at greatest risk from this terrible disease. 👇

Great to welcome Grove Green and Forest Labour ward groups to Parliament this week! 🌹 Great discussions alongside @stellacreasy and @AlistairCarns, always good to connect with local members and share our work in Westminster. Thank you to everyone who joined us! 🙌

We welcome tonight’s UNSC session on Lebanon. Escalation on this scale is not acceptable. All parties must implement a genuine and lasting ceasefire. Only a negotiated, diplomatic solution can deliver long term peace and security.

Recently, I had the chance to visit the Peabody housing association office in the constituency and take a tour of the Oliver Road neighbourhood 🚶 Really glad I got to see the work being done on the ground - huge thanks to the team for what you do!

Tan is an outstanding parliamentarian and Defence Committee Chair. We must not let a murderer’s vile actions fuel division or hatred toward innocent people - or let that rhetoric go unchallenged. When one group is targeted, we all have a duty to speak up.

What is wrong with you? Black men are at significantly higher risk of prostate cancer. This isn’t “two-tier Britain”. It’s basic medicine. The programme will save lives and the NHS money. That’s great news. Stop rage-farming and log off for a day. It might do you some good. 👍
