Scotland is experiencing the worst housebuilding slump since the Second World War.
The next Scottish government needs to get Scotland building again.
My report for @ScottishFabians and @thefabians Housing Centre sets out how.
👇
Sad to say goodbye to so many fantastic members moving to other constituencies today as Camberwell & Peckham Labour becomes @PeckhamLabour. Look forward to working with the new @PeckhamLabour team to win change for our community in the months and years ahead.
The news coming out of Israel is deeply distressing.
I condemn the terrorist acts of Hamas and my thoughts are with those affected and those who have lost loved ones.

Labour’s plan to save households £1,000 this winter:
🧊 Freeze the energy price cap
💷 Paid for by taxing huge oil and gas profits
🏘️ Insulate 19m homes across the country
👍🏻 Fully-funded plan to help Southwark people and to stop bills rising now and for the future
A councillor doing what she or he should do, deal with the nitty gritty of local public complaints. It's not just politics it's problems like heating, housing or in this case rubbish. Congratulations to Cllr Naima Ali for doing just that. @SouthwarkLabour
Pleased to have co-signed this letter to the next PM (whoever that may be 👀)
They MUST double the Household Support Fund & stop making it so difficult for councils to respond to local need - essential if we’re to help people as the cost of living crisis takes hold.
Joined forces with fellow councillors from North Walworth and Faraday to petition against the proposed bus cuts today. Gathered lots of signatures with people angry the 12 & 45 are even being considered. We need more buses, not less!
It's my first day leading @SouthwarkLabour's work on Climate Emergency & Sustainable Development.
I've inherited an ambitious climate action plan 🌎 and we've exciting ideas on how we can use land to transfer wealth 💰 and power ✊ to local communities.
Wish me luck 🤞
