Frequently seen: in Tooting, eating pasta, drinking coffee, or walking Yoshi - but not necessarily in that order.

It would be hard to find another MP and team in Parliament as fun and supportive as Rosena and the team – I’ll miss you all.

[Kate Forbes @KateForbes89]

After seven years, a few different job titles, a deputy leadership contest and some international humanitarian trips, I’ve now left the office of @DrRosena.

Thanks so much for all of the opportunities over the years, including taking me with you as your Political Advisor.

[Kate Forbes @KateForbes89]

I’ve made friends for life with colleagues and look forward to see what more they will go on and do to improve the lives of Wandsworth residents.

This week, I’ve stepped down as a Tooting Broadway councillor to take up an exciting role in City Hall working for @SadiqKhan.

Having served a term in opposition, I was proud to be part of the Labour team last year that turned Wandsworth Council red after 44 years.

[Dr Rosena @DrRosena]

Today, I brought together officials from @wandbc and @MPSWandsworth to discuss what we can do to make Tooting Broadway a safer, cleaner and more vibrant place to live and work.

[Dr Rosena @DrRosena]

Today, I read out names of the fallen and laid a wreath at @StNicsTooting with @rexosborn @KateForbes89 @BeeKemiA and members of our emergency services.

We paid respect to all of those who have served our country. Their sacrifices gave us the freedoms we enjoy today.

[Kate Forbes @KateForbes89]

Thanks @DrRosena for hosting today’s coffee morning - it was a great opportunity for local residents and organisations to come together and share their ideas on how to make Tooting an even better place to live.

[Dr Rosena @DrRosena]

Wonderful to host a coffee morning for local residents today. Really grateful to everyone who attended, including some local organisations and charities who do invaluable work in the community.

5 years to the day since I travelled to the Myanmar border with @KateForbes89 , speaking to grieving Rohingya refugees who had fled the most devastating situation.

Years on, the Rohingya still wait for justice.

[Business Launchpad @BusinessLP]

Exciting news! Business Launchpad has secured £165,000 in funding from the Mayor of London's Violence Reduction Unit for our Decode My Future 3.0 programme!

[Dr Rosena @DrRosena]

Out and about with @MPSWandsworth officers in Tooting this morning, talking to residents concerned about street drinking and anti-social behaviour.

Together, we're working to increase patrols in the area to ensure people feel safe in the community.

[Aydin Dikerdem @AydinDikerdem]

We’re transforming housing policy in Wandsworth.

We’ve now launched our new Housing and Homelessness strategy 2023-2028 and would love to hear feedback: https://t.co/JabqXMfRp8

[Simon Hogg @CllrSimonHogg]

ULEZ boost for Wandsworth families 🚗💨

We’ll give you £1,000 if you get rid of your high polluting vehicle, if you’re on means-tested benefits.

This is on top of @SadiqKhan support already available.

Time to clean up our borough’s air for everyone 🌳

@summerstown182 @wandbc @rexosborn @BeeKemiA Happy to raise with the council too Geoff

[Wandsworth Labour @WandswrthLabour]

Unbelievably, Tory councillors refuse to support the council’s campaign to save children’s cancer services at St George’s.

They spoke out against it in the council meeting this week.

Callous & out of touch with local people - who value these services and want to protect them

[Kate Forbes @KateForbes89]

Mental health doesn’t sit in a silo, it crosses all aspects of society. This is why Wandsworth’s Labour Council is making sure mental health is considered across all departments.

I’m proud to be part of the team leading change in Wandsworth.

[Fleur Anderson MP @PutneyFleur]

💙🥳 Happy 75th birthday to our NHS.

How brilliant to celebrate at the Springfield Hospital new buildings opening party!

I joined @DrRosena, the Mayor and Councillors to congratulate and say thank you to the incredible staff members and volunteers.

[Dr Rosena @DrRosena]

The values of the NHS are values we all share: community, care and compassion.

It was great to visit Springfield Hospital with @fleuranderson to give my thanks to the brilliant staff who make the NHS the incredible service it is.

[Kate Forbes @KateForbes89]

This week, we heard from parents and clinicians about the impact that moving children’s cancer services from @StGeorgesTrust will have on local residents.

Have your say on the changes to children’s cancer services here:

Mum tells Wandsworth Councillors - NHS England "not listening" to local parents over plans to transfer child cancer care away from #Tooting's St George's Hospital
