Great to see these new council homes on the former garages at the rear of O'Brien House being advertised for letting. These ten well-designed, genuinely affordable, family-sized homes were commissioned by @TH_Labour's Mayor + cllrs in 2020, funded by @MayorofLondon. #BuildingHope
An honour to join the Ambassador to the UK for the State of Palestine @hzomlot, along with fellow Parliamentarians to a special ceremony to mark the UK government’s recognition of Palestinian statehood.
The Palestinian people have an inalienable right to their own state. The UK Labour Government’s decision to officially recognise the State of Palestine is a huge and historic moment, which so many of us have long campaigned for.
The UK government with the international community must continue to work for an immediate ceasefire, a surge in humanitarian aid, the release of all hostages and a pathway to a lasting peace.
I’ve submitted a formal objection to the proposal to designate Redchurch Street as a night-time economy centre in the Local Plan.
This change risks damaging our local character, displacing independent businesses, and worsening issues like noise and anti-social behaviour.
Tomorrow is National Barack Obama Appreciation Day. Trump hates no one more than President Obama, so let's fill social media with our love for him!
RETWEET to spread the word!
'This is an illegal aggression.'
The former ambassador to Iran, Richard Dalton, claims Israel's strikes on the country are 'in breach of every legal requirement for a pre-emptive attack'.
We are announcing a further £2bn for social and affordable housing in 2026-27 to support the biggest boost in social and affordable housing in a generation.
Everyone deserves to have a safe and secure place to call home - this government is working to make that a reality.
By helping to deliver our goal of 1.5m homes by the end of this Parliament, we'll kickstart growth and put more money in people's pockets.
I was pleased to attend the @LFPME reception in Parliament earlier this week and see Husam Zomlot, Palestinian Ambassador to the UK, along with many Labour Ministers and MPs to express our continued support and solidarity for:
- An immediate ceasefire
- Rapid increase of aid in Gaza
- Protection of civilians
- Release of all hostages
- A pathway to a two-state solution
I have had a busy day but absolutely delighted to hear the good news that @rushanaraali has been appointed as a Minister in the Communities, Housing and Local Government department. A department which closely aligns with the work of local Councils. Huge congrats to Rushanara.
This is a proud moment for the British Bangladeshi community as @TulipSiddiq & @rushanaraali become the first ministers of Bangladeshi origin to be appointed. We’re grateful to Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer for these appointments & for recognising the talents within our community.
The Labour Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer setting out the clear and urgent need for a ceasefire, an increase in financial support for Palestine, and ensuring international legitimacy for Palestine is a welcome contrast to the approach taken by the Conservative Government.
Bringing peace to the Middle East has always been about action rather than words, and ensuring we have power and influence in Government.

A huge thank you to everyone for all your hard work. Together we showed that hope wins over fear, and unity over division. Together we will rebuild with a Labour Government. Thank you all so much for your tireless work and everything you have given so that we could win together. 🌹
Using race, colour and religion in politics is WRONG. On our children's plate instead of putting food we are putting 'HATRED' - we as a community should speak up now, say NO to 'HATE' and keep our borough safe and friendly.
Vote @rushanaraali
At this special time of Eid al Adha - I share my heartfelt best wishes for this important celebration.
There are important lessons for all of us in the Muslim story of Hajj - of connecting with the Abrahamic tradition.
Sacrifice, family, dedication and trust.
#Eidmubarak
It’s the privilege of my life to represent the place I grew up in and being the first British Bangladeshi to be a Member of Parliament. Delighted to be standing to represent the new constituency of Bethnal Green & Stepney.This is our chance for a Labour government #VoteLabour 🌹
It was inspiring to see the life-saving services provided by @NHSBartsHealth at the Royal London Hospital's trauma ward and neonatal ward. They are also doing amazing work with @BartsHorizons, supporting and mentoring young people into fulfilling careers within the NHS.
Shameful - the Deputy Prime Minister refused to condemn the divisive views of the Tory Mayor of London candidate when I challenged him in parliament.
@SadiqKhan has brought communities together as Mayor. I’m proud to be backing him again on 2 May.
