Yesterday, I spoke during the Second Reading of the Representation of the People Bill to advocate for extending the vote to 16 and 17 year olds. Young people deserve the opportunity to shape their future.

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.

And the clincher - sharing my love of Deptford High Street, voted one of the coolest streets in the world by Time Out and home to one of the oldest markets in London.

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.

"I don't know what will happen to UK culture if we close the doors on making it accessible." I couldn't agree more. Kate Nash talking total sense when responding to my question on class & its relevance in the music industry, specifically touring in the EU as a British artist.

🎄My team and I worked with the Deptford councillors and @lewisham.gov.uk officers to make sure the Woodpecker estate has its first ever Christmas tree this year. 🎅Really enjoyed the switch on event with residents yesterday – crafts, singing and even a visit from Father Christmas!

Housing is by far the biggest issue in my casework inbox. I know @lewisham.gov.uk are working incredibly hard to make sure everyone has a decent home. With strong support from the Gov, we can extend that progress to leaseholders and those with cladding issues.

Happy Mother's Day. Thank you to all the mothers raising the next generation of healthy, resilient and kind children. And a special thank you to my mum for making me the person I am today.

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.

Kicked off recess @artsnetworkldn, a local charity providing creative workshops and support to mental health services. CEO Kate Price called for sustained funding for this essential work. Find out more here artsnetwork.org.uk/wp/ #MentalHealth #DeptfordArt #ArtForEveryone

Heat kills, and it’s time the Albanese government did something about it. After record heat scorched Vic today, I’m kicking off a campaign to name heatwaves & save lives. While we’re at it, perhaps we should name deadly heat after those making the biggest contribution. Heatwave Woodside, anyone?
