Today,first full day of canvassing in the election. It’s been a good day meeting lots of constituents,friends I’ve worked with over the years, but then I get home to hear IDF has bombed tents of Palestinians in Rafah, with 55 dead so far. Brutal war crimes. Despicable savagery.

Today we launched our election campaign in Hayes town centre with street stall & leafleting. Great reaction from local people. Key issue for so many & why we need change is the housing crisis with many families in temporary accommodation, high rents & rip off service charges.

On the doorstep: migration and the housing shortage

It’s a desperately sad day in our community. A 16 year old boy has been stabbed to death in Hayes. I send my condolences to his family & friends. Anyone who has any information or witnessed anything please contact the Police on 101. We are all saddened at this devastating news

Absolutely brilliant song from Sean Taylor sums up what we all face in 2024 & becomes the theme tune backdrop of this general election. Thank you Sean Taylor

I’ll be launching my Parliamentary election campaign in Hayes & Harlington this Saturday 25th May with our traditional street stall in Hayes town centre. We’ll be talking to people about their concerns & the policies we need. Each day I will put a campaign report on social media

Losing Greg is a huge loss to the many progressive movements he supported & to which he made such a tremendous contribution. Greg was always such a warm, supportive friend & ally. I so benefited, as we all did, from his analysis & advice. Condolences to Greg’s family & friends.

It’s time for change. 14 years of Conservative government have undermined much of the fabric of our society, our NHS, schools & colleges, our environment & economy. We take nothing for granted but there’s hope now we can have a change of government & move forward again.

Here we go. Sunak should just get on with calling the election now as all this speculation can have a deleterious impact on the economy, especially decision making on investment.

Pleased to attend & support the launch of the Action Cerebral Palsy Manifesto, which is a 3 point plan to secure better outcomes for all children with cerebral palsy & their families. To find out more & see how you can help go to actioncp.org

A financial bubble is building that could burst & create havoc in housing & financial markets. Many, often young, people bought new properties they budgeted to afford but are now being hit by hugely increasing service charges. Action is needed urgently to regulate service charges

All those who commit war crimes must face justice.

For too long our Government has failed to oppose Israeli war crimes in Gaza. That must end.

I've co-organised this letter from over 100 MPs and Lords from 11 Parties for our Government to back the International Criminal Court.
