On this #InternationalDayOfDemocracy2024 here are questions I posed @FCDOGovUK to support new #Bangladeshi interim government @Yunus_Centre w/democratic transition
It'll take time to rebuild institutions but UK can help with expertise and tracing laundered cash: all cost neutral
I spoke @HouseofCommons on momentous changes this Summer in #Bangladesh seen as its 2nd independence where students overthrew entrenched government of 15 years who won rigged election in Jan
Bad faith actors will try to discredit it but Yunus' interim government needs applauding
Wow what a day. The girl from St Peters Dagenham, was chosen to be the labour PPC for Dagenham and Rainham by the membership. Thank you . Thank you to @AndyAchilleos, and Team Cruddas. To all who voted for me thank you . Especially to @JonCruddas_1 for his unstinting support.
Thank you so much Finchley & Golders Green! 🌹🌹🌹
The hard work to win here starts today. I’m determined to turn this seat red!
Together, we can win here!
This is just an innocent comment. No one with an intension of racism would participate a BHM event. @DarrenRodwell has a track record of fighting racism and we've fought BNP and other racists together and Darren is known to me for more than a decade.
EXC Council leader tipped to be next Barking MP joked he had the “worst tan possible for a black man” at a Black History Month event.
Labour is looking into comments by Darren Rodwell (who is white) and set to investigate.

I'm pleased to share details of Cabinet appointments I have made which I am confident will be a strong team to help the borough take on the next stage of our journey.

Thank you to everyone who voted in the local elections yesterday, and congratulations to those elected in Barking and Dagenham and across London. Thank you also to those who stood and didn’t win.
We’ve got a challenging four years ahead, and the hard work starts today.
