Really lovely to visit @ashprimary's Rise & Shine activity and breakfast club, which the Labour government has from today made free for all children. Ashburnham is one of 750 early adopter schools giving free breakfasts, saving families hundreds of £s a year. The change we need.

On World Down Syndrome Day, honoured to meet these high achieving young people. We need to see guidance finally issued to ensure the appropriate, tailored support promised in the Down Syndrome Act is in place. #WDSD2025

Chanukah is a time for family, community and celebration.

Chag Chanukah Sameach to Jewish communities in the UK and around the world.

Really pleased to catch up with @Battersea_ home for dogs and cats and hear about their campaign for more pet-friendly housing. Too often owners have to give much-loved pets up for rescue due to rental restrictions.
Measures in Labour's Renters’ Rights Bill are a good start.

It's time to stop management agents ripping off leaseholders in Chelsea & Fulham and across the UK, with high charges for poor service.
Together with other Labour MPs, I'm calling on the largest managing agent, @FirstPortUK, to raise its game.
Other companies to follow.

With local resident Sioux Vosper at Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice event. Great to hear Pat McFadden say eventual report into Covid must be implemented. I'm committed to making this happen. We must prepare for the next pandemic by applying the learning from the last one.

[Ben Coleman @ChelFulhamBen]

Great to catch up with @angelarayner as the Employment Rights Bill returned to the Commons. We’re delivering real change for working people, while driving our mission for growth and making people better off.​ The biggest upgrade to rights at work for a generation.

Today I added a splash of colour to support @BreastCancerNow Wear It Pink Day. What a brilliant fundraiser to help the charity realise its vision that by 2050, everyone diagnosed with breast cancer will live and be supported to live well.

@CounsellingSam Suicidal ideation is my constant companion. It’s not uncommon in those with severe and debilitating chronic illness(es) & generally multifactorial. We tend to have higher substance use too! Little consolation Sam, but understanding and solidarity from me🙏💜

[Sam Long Covid Since March 2020 @CounsellingSam]

I wish I could stop thinking about killing myself.
It's what #LongCovid brain inflammation does to me.
It puts suicidal ideation into my head.
Suicidal thoughts when I am stirring my porridge.
Please take #LongCovid seriously.
The Labour government doesn't.

@RealNatalieRowe @ChelFulhamBen I’m watching this on iPlayer and am also happy that Ben is my new MP! He’s so much nicer than the pompous Hands…

[Natalie Rowe @RealNatalieRowe]

For the very first time I can I claim my MP @ChelFulhamBen, couldn’t before as Chelsea had always been Conservative. You go Ben 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏�

[Ben Coleman @ChelFulhamBen]

I'm extremely grateful to the emergency services for their swift and effective action last night following a serious stabbing on the World's End Estate, Chelsea. I'll now be working with residents, @metpoliceuk & @RBKC on what more can be done to keep everyone safe on the estate.

Many thanks to @BhavanLondonfor its life-enhancing dancing and singing celebration of Indian Independence Day. The packed audience was delighted. Honoured to be with High Commissioner Doraiswami @HCI_London, @LBHF Deputy Mayor Daryl Brown and Bhavan luminaries.

[Ben Coleman @ChelFulhamBen]

After all the work to get it going, it was great to be at the official opening of the new post office in North End Road, chatting to delighted locals and seeing how Ajinder and Keran Kapoor have created a lovely shop offering a full range of services seven days a week.
