Did you know on Monday, MPs will debate whether 16 and 17 year olds should get the right to vote? A huge moment and a long time coming.

On Tuesday the Culture, Media & Sport Select Committee questioned Dame Julia Unwin ahead of recommending her appointment as Chair of the Charity Commission. Good to be able to raise some of the concerns small charities have shared with me about lack of collaboration.

Small businesses are the backbone of our communities - employing around 60% of the UK workforce. Loved sitting down in Ladywell with council candidates Ayesha and Collet to talk about the thriving small businesses right on our doorstep and why it's so important we support them.

Had fun going up against my friend Bambos Charalambous MP for Constituency Knockout on Ed Vaizey’s Times Radio show. It was a good fight but I’m pleased to say Lewisham North came out on top! You can hear the whole thing here (about 35 mins in) www.thetimes.com/radio/show/2...

Had a chat with Cllrs. Will and Rudi about the re-opening of the Riverside Youth Club. Packed with fantastic facilities, the centre is open 6 days a week with activities for all ages. Thanks to Lewisham Council, Youth First and Millwall Community Trust for making this happen. #youthworkweek

At the Culture, Media and Sport Committee today, TikTok’s representative assured me that under 13s are not allowed to access the platform. Yet according to Internet Matters, around 1/3 of 9-12-year-olds use it on a regular basis… Watch the whole session here www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/...

Thanks to DEFRA, Lewisham Council is getting more powers to tackle fly-tipping. Here is Minister Mary Creagh talking about new consequences for criminals who mess up our streets. Vote Labour on May 7th so that our councillors can continue the good work they've started. 🌹

OpenAI overbuilt capacity and in hindsight, that looks prescient. Anthropic was conservative and is visibly struggling to serve the traffic they actually have. fallthrough.fm/ep/70 @steveklabnik.com

This data center only employs only about 40 people. It uses local resources and drives down nearby home values with constant noise, without boosting jobs or contributing in taxes. They are toxic and should be heavily regulated-forcing them to use renewable energy and other cooling methods-not water.

Ever wonder why a simple noise dispute can cost you $100,000? The legal system is a pay-to-win game where the richest person takes all. See why the law is no longer about finding the truth, but just a costly game of who puts on the best show.

The global energy crisis will enable oil and gas companies to make huge profits, which we won’t benefit from because our main fossil fuel tax, the PRRT, is so poorly designed.

In this video you can see a visual map of some of the neurons within a fruit fly’s ventral nerve cord (VNC), like that of a human’s spinal cord. Neurons progressively stack on top of each other and at the end of the video, you can see a rough neuronal map of the VNC.
