At our Culture, Media & Sport Select Committee session yesterday I asked Minister Stephanie Peacock whether her department takes working-class people’s views into account when planning major events. Pleased to hear it’s something she takes seriously - hope to see this reflected in future events.

Arts organisations - especially those supporting mental health like Arts Network in Deptford - provide vital healthcare for many people, not just enjoyment. Kate & Ishwari say these same orgs are struggling with funding and need actual permanent spaces. I will be taking this back to Parliament.

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

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.

Because class is not a protected characteristic, a lack of emphasis on working-class people's participation has left the arts a bleak landscape for class diversity. My question to the Chief Executive of Arts Council England, Darren Henley CBE, at CMS Committee this morning.

Today, I asked the Deputy Prime Minister how he will ensure the Government's proposed reforms to the asylum system support, rather than undermine, the positive outcomes already being achieved in boroughs like ours.

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...

Popped into Deptford Literature Festival last Saturday. Loved the Navigating Culture: Black Male Writers on Britain Today panel discussion and the poetry readings by local poets from Poetry Lab. Huge thanks to London Writers Centre - Deptford's creativity never disappoints.

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. 🌹

“If your parents made 80k in the 90s, you’d need 260k today to have the same life.” Translation: wages flat, costs exploding, and Trump’s tariff-and-tax-cut binge poured gasoline on the fire. That’s the ‘great economy’ he keeps bragging about🙄 #WeCantAffordTrump

You can’t import another country’s vaccine policy without first importing their actual healthcare system. Our vaccine recommendations fill structural gaps in our healthcare system, which is widely regarded as fragmented, inaccessible to many, and riven with inequalities.

Earlier today on Somewhere in the Skies, we talked about the Bledsoe’s and I revealed a multitude of contradictions and lies in their own story. Breaks my heart to share this, but the truth is the truth. Here’s the clip. What do you think?

Trump is genuinely out here claiming he won the LGBTQ+ vote because he played a song at his rallies. Truly, who needs fundamental human rights or basic dignity when you have a track on the playlist? The unhinged delusion of this man is honestly exhausting. #momsky #sheshed

Cenk Uygur analyzes the WHCD shooting messaging, noting a pattern of synchronized talking points. He argues political actors use crises to secure "wins" by deploying paid, non-disclosed influencers. Uygur identifies this as a bipartisan issue involving MAGA, the Left, and international interests.

Are the police in America occupied too? Congress is. Trump is. Biden was. “America”.

GAHT. Damn

The war with Iran should have never happened — it must end now. Everybody will suffer from those on the front lines to those at home with rising gas prices.

BREAKING: The Beets have decided to not take part in Freedom 250. (and haven't seen this one, has anyone done it?)

I have rarely had so much fun in selecting these clips of George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden to complement the clip of Trump falling asleep at the Resolute Desk during his event on affordability in front of the cameras on 04/23/26. 📸 😴😜

When DHS Secretary Noem was fired, many hoped things would improve and that the department would move away from incompetence and sheer evil. That hope was short-lived. Markwayne Mullin may be even worse. This video may give you a headache and dizziness. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist.
