It is an honour & privilege to be re-elected as MP for Dulwich and West Norwood

Thank you to everyone who put your trust in me. I’ll never take it for granted.

As we have experienced this week, extreme temperatures are no longer a future threat. They are a present danger.

Today, I’m launching London’s first ever heat plan: a city-wide plan to adapt our capital, protect communities, and build a climate-resilient city.

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

To all our frontline workers keeping Londoners safe, moving and cared for in this extreme weather: thank you.

These conditions put real pressure on vital services, and I’m hugely grateful to our transport workers, NHS staff, emergency services and all frontline workers.

Her words ‘we are more united and have more in common than the things that divide us’ are needed now more than ever.

Thank you to the hundreds of volunteers, councillors, MPs, AMs & trade unionists who’ve been out speaking to Londoners over the last few days, weeks & months about how Labour in London is delivering for communities across our city.

The shooting on Coldharbour Lane last night is devastating

My thoughts are with those who were injured and all who have been traumatised by this violence
