As someone that grew up on a council estate in Brixton, serving in Parliament on behalf of Vauxhall is an honour that I will never take lightly.
My speech on why truth and integrity in politics matters:
It’s been a busy few weeks for your newly elected Councillors. Watch this space for updates and surgery details coming soon! #Waterloo#Southbank#OnYourSide
I’m so excited to be joining the @loosewomen panel on today’s show. Lots to talk about!
Some people have a trophy cabinet - but I have a mug cupboard. 🏆
First the Tories said they couldn’t introduce a windfall tax because producers were the ones struggling.
Then they called it ‘Unconservative.’
Now Labour has dragged them kicking and screaming to this obvious solution.
Why has it taken them so long while households suffered?
Don’t forget that the Govt forced their MPs to vote against Labours plans to introduce a #WindfallTax two weeks ago. The Chancellor can dress this up all he likes but he has finally U-turned to support a #WindfallTax
We are introducing a temporary, targeted Energy Profits Levy charged on profits of oil and gas companies at a rate of 25%.
We're also building in a new investment allowance that doubles the relief for the energy companies that invest their profits in the UK.
Fantastic to join my colleagues to celebrate the newly elected Mayor of Lambeth @cllrpaulineg - she will be a great champion for the borough. A big thanks to @AnnieGallop for her hard work as outgoing Mayor. Really great to see @Ebinehita_ talking about the fab work of @Juvenis
The PM promised to implement all recommendations of the Grenfell Public Inquiry.
But now he's shelved plans to give the most vulnerable people basic evacuation plans in a fire.
It's another broken promise from a Prime Minister with no answers.

I’m supporting @unisontheunion campaign for mandatory ethnicity pay gap reporting. The Women and Equalities Select committee published a report earlier this year stating it should be mandatory. The Government need to act and bring forward this legislation.
Thank you again to #LilianBaylisTechnologySchool for welcoming @BlackEquityOrg today. It was fantastic for our trustees to meet the wonderful students and staff who attended. Here's a clip of some of our trustees' speeches starting with Dame Vivian Hunt (1/4) #BEOChangeIsHere

I’ve received many emails on behalf of #Vauxhall constituents highlighting the delays in passport applications. So many people at risk of missing key events like honeymoon, emergency travel and key family reunions after the lockdown. The Home Office need to get a grip on this 😡
