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.

Today I took part in the #RemembranceDay service in #LewishamNorth, joining the nation to commemorate the fallen. It is my solemn privilege to honour their sacrifice. @RemembranceDay

🎄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!

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

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.

Loved chatting to year 6s from Kender Primary school for #Children'sMentalHealthWeek about wellbeing and Place2Be's theme, ‘This is My Place’. Labour is providing more mental health support in schools to make sure the next generation grows up happier and more resilient.

"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.

Did you know Dire Straits formed on the Crossfield Estate in Deptford? I'm always proud to boast about the arts scene in Lewisham North.

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. 🌹

I recognized Brigitte from when she protested with a stick on her head last year. Last week at MDC, she tells us about her stick, why she protests at MDC, and why she doesn’t identify as Black, and how the system meant to protect her failed her.

Our fleet is currently being intercepted by IOF forces.   Every step of the way, people have asked us why we keep sailing, knowing that we will be stopped. The question is not why we continue. The question is why israel is not stopped.   We reject the normalization of genocide.

Throw away your bird boxes, tables and feeders. New research from the @RSPB shows that these are harbouring and spreading disease and killing off birds. If you have a garden, grow plants the birds can eat instead.

2) Rutte: "Ik vind dit zeer tendentieuze televisie. Deze mensen wordt schrik aangejaagd. Er wordt een totaal oneerlijke voorstelling gegeven. Ondenkbaar dat ik een partij zou leiden die dit laat gebeuren. Ik ben er zeer kwaad over. Het laatste wat ik ga doen is gezinnen in deze situatie aanpakken."

In “Everyone Is Lying to You for Money,” Ben McKenzie interviewed people who had been scammed by crypto—and yet they still believe in cryptocurrency. “For some of these guys, this was a major investment for them, not just financially, but mentally, psychologically. This was their ticket out."
