A great example of our Labour Mayor Sadiq Kahn working with this Labour Government to tackle crime and prioritise neighbourhood policing.

Huge congratulations to Councillor Siraj Islam on becoming Labour’s mayoral candidate for Tower Hamlets.

Fantastic to visit the satellite company, ClearSpace at their new home in Aldgate.

It’s exciting to see such a cutting-edge business, working on debris removal in space, satellite life extension and robotics, thriving in our constituency.

Deeply saddened by the tragic news of the military aircraft crash in Dhaka.

My thoughts are with the victims, their families and all those who have been affected.

The last Labour Government cut rough sleeping by two thirds. Since 2010, it increased by 164% under the Tories.

This Labour Government is taking action to tackle the root causes of homelessness and rough sleeping by providing almost £1 billion of funding.

On the 20th anniversary of 7/7, we remember the 52 people who lost their lives and all those who were injured and affected.

We also pay tribute to the incredible courageousness and selflessness of the emergency services that day.

We must unite against all those wishing to sow division and hatred.

It was wonderful to visit London Enterprise Academy to hear from students about their recent school trips to Spain and Bangladesh, and discuss their hopes and aspirations for the future.

Delighted our Labour Government is investing £39 billion in social and affordable housing.

The biggest investment in social and affordable housing in a generation.

Rough sleeping to be decriminalised after 200 years The Government has confirmed it will repeal the outdated Vagrancy Act 1824 by Spring next year, to ensure rough sleeping is no longer a criminal offence.

Delighted we are repealing the outdated Vagrancy Act 1824. This will ensure rough sleeping is no longer a criminal offence, ending two centuries of injustice towards some of the most vulnerable in our country.

To all who are celebrating, wishing you a very happy Eid-al-Adha. Eid Mubarak!

It’s a privilege to represent this extraordinary part of the East End of London, where I grew up.

I’ve always worked hard to unite our community, to tackle injustice at home and abroad, and to fight for a better future for us all.
