Yesterday, I was at the @QVSR1 for the unveiling of the @EnglishHeritage blue plaque for Kamal Chunchie.
This is a long awaited memorial to Kamal Chunchie, a pioneering campaigner and preacher on a building that continues his work to provide shelter and support.
I met with London Sport to hear about their plans in West Ham and Beckton.
They are investing in Newham where we have a fast growing population and interest in sport. They’re keen to work with local people, sports and community groups to identify the need and demand here.
My team resolved 333 cases for residents in West Ham and Beckton last month.
I’ve picked up casework on doorsteps, through my website, over email and on the phone. Please get in touch if you need support.
Words of condemnation have so far done little to deter ongoing violations.
We must now act to pressure Israeli authorities to adhere by the terms of the ceasefire, protect intl law, increase aid and humanitarian assistance to Palestinian civilians, and uphold accountability.
I was pleased to welcome (with Mayor of Newham, Forhad Hussain) Stephanie Peacock MP, Minister for Sport, to hear about great work carried out by Fight for Peace. Including importance of sport, youth services such as mentoring, education & employability support which they offer.
Wow! The Beckon Corridor in Newham is looking great💚
It's making walking, wheeling & cycling safer & more accessible for everyone.
Work include new paths & lighting from Beckton DLR to Beckton Park - connecting local communities to green spaces in the area.

When I visited #ComicCon at the Excel this weekend I thought it was great to see a Careers Fair linking up people with skills and the Games industry.
Also offering advice on how to sell your skills or get your cv right when looking for jobs in the sector.
#MCMComicCon
Twice a year #comiccon comes to the Royal Docks filling the Excel and surrounding area with some fantastic costumes
It’s the hottest day of the year, it took some commitment & stamina to wear some of the costumes but everyone was upbeat & having fun

Last @premierleague game of the season tomorrow, #WHULEE with great thanks and appreciation to the fans who have supported us.
The game has been dedicated to us by @WestHam for which we are grateful.
We'll be at the usual collection places from 1pm ⚒️
Great to visit Rosetta Arts in West Ham on Thursday with Debbie Weekes-Bernard, Deputy Mayor of London for Communities, to help launch their journey as a @MayorofLondon funded Loved & Wanted community space.
A wonderful night of art, crafts and music with the local community.
I was lucky to be invited to watch @GallionsSchool perform Macbeth. Their performance was really impressive as were the other Newham schools taking part in the Shakespeare Schools Festival @cssf_uk
Well done to all the students and staff involved!
I hosted an event in Parliament celebrating Bulgaria’s national day of enlightenment, culture and the Bulgarian alphabet.
It was great to learn more about the history Bulgarian script and hear from English students studying Bulgarian at UCL.
I recently met with @certain_blacks to hear about their plans for their funding from the Creative Foundation Fund.
They’ve got lots of exiting upcoming projects and collaborations, including this summer so keep an eye out for announcements!

It was great to meet trustees, volunteers and organisations at the opening of the new Newham Community Law Project.
This has been a long time coming and I know for my constituents that having specialist support based in our community will make a huge difference.
🌹 Forhad Hussain has appointed his first cabinet as Mayor of Newham!
💪 It’s time to get stuck in, start delivering our five pledges and move Newham forward together. Let’s get to work!
