The Best Start Family Hub’s have the potential to be as transformative as the Sure Start centres created by The Labour Party. I’m pleased Redbridge will develop one of the first - providing guidance and support to families, benefiting from health, early years, parenting +more, advice.
Pleasure to launch the @redbridgelive Family Help Pre & Post Birth Service with Wes Streeting & Lloyd Duddridge It’s a superb partnership with Department for Education North East London NHS Foundation Trust (NELFT) providing vital support to families when needed most. It was moving to hear from a mother who received this help.
Fear of racism has come up on the doorstep more in the last few months than during my last 15 years in elected politics. We’re not going back to ‘70s and ‘80s racism - if the majority of decent people speak up. This is our fight. It has always been our fight. And we will win.
I watched the clip a few times, & didn’t want to quote tweet Sarah Pochin’s comments, as I didn’t want to give her disgraceful comments more airtime. I knew that I would also face racist abuse. We have to call out and stand up to the division and hate masked as ‘free speech’.
