Great to see the Buy Back Brixton campaign covered in the Guardian. In just days, we should know whether the bid to take Brixton Market into community ownership has been successful. Whatever happens, the fight for our market’s future continues ✊🏾

People who are pushing offshore detention and deportation as policy solutions are not being honest about the financial costs, the human consequences, or the way these things violate international law.

Glad to support @We_OwnIt's photocall in Parliament this week, calling on the government to reject the proposed rescue deal for Thames Water. It's time to take water companies back into public ownership and end their rampant mismanagement of one of our most essential resources.

Citizenship deprivation risks creating second-class citizens while having little real impact on public safety. If Black, Asian and migrant-heritage citizens can have rights stripped, the issue is not security, it is who the Government considers fully British.

More free school breakfast clubs coming to Clapham & Brixton Hill 🍎🥛 From September, primary pupils at St Mary’s & Fenstanton will now also benefit. Great news, which will boost children's attendance, attainment and life chances.
More schools to offer free breakfast clubs in new school year, Government says | LBC

Devastating result last night, not helped by the defensive tactics! But we can all be proud of the effort, determination, and spirit shown by these England players throughout the tournament. The hurt continues but so does the hope!

We are completely heartbroken that our dream ends here, but so proud of this group, our staff and you – our amazing fans. Your support in North America and back home has been nothing short of incredible. Thank you.

Hose pipe bans seem a bit redundant when AI data centres are guzzling 11-19 million litres of water every day. In a Westminster Hall debate this week, I called for action to address the drought risk posed by their excessive water usage during periods of extreme heat.

One of the most moving and inspiring speeches I've heard in Parliament from my friend @IanByrne. Full credit to Ian for his unwavering commitment to securing justice for the victims of the Hillsborough scandal and a strong law to protect against future state cover-ups.

The number 96 has been tattooed on my wrist since 2015. It reminds me every day that I was one of the lucky ones who came home from Hillsborough. Today, standing in Parliament to speak as the Hillsborough Law passed was one of the proudest and most emotional moments of my life.

The UK child citizenship fee remains one of the highest in Europe. Many kids with the right to citizenship miss out because their families cannot afford it. This week was another missed opportunity for the government to fix this.

I voted against the Immigration & Asylum Bill last night. Forcing asylum seekers to pay £10,000 for safety and shelter is punitive. Asylum is a legal right, not something we should charge for. The Government is heading down the same failed path as the last Tory administration.
