24 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)measuredSmall businesses like Ruth's are the lifeblood of our high streets and communities - and we discussed our campaign to save Cockney's from attempts to double her rent and push businesses like hers into extinction.
24 Jun 2026Economy & Jobs (General)celebratoryIt was brilliant to bring Ruth - the long-time and brilliant owner of Cockney's Pie and Mash on Portobello Road - to meet the Chancellor at No.11 Downing Street this week.
23 Jun 2026Culture & CommunitymeasuredAs we celebrate, we must also remember the injustices many faced and remain committed to ensuring that such wrongs are never repeated. Today is both a celebration and a reminder of the importance of fairness, respect and inclusion at the heart of our society.
23 Jun 2026Culture & CommunitycelebratoryA very happy Windrush Day to everyone in Kensington & Bayswater and all across London. On Windrush Day, we celebrate the Windrush Generation and their profound impact on our communities, schools, businesses, the NHS, and beyond.

23 Jun 2026Tax & Public FinancesmeasuredI spoke to @theobserveruk.bsky.social about why cleaning up dirty money and corruption should be a strong progressive cause, given the volume of dirty money that goes through London and the overseas territories and dependencies... observer.co.uk/news/busines...
22 Jun 2026EducationcelebratoryGreat to welcome @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social - Secretary of State for Education - to Kensington & Bayswater for this exciting announcement, and to hear from wildlife expert Steve Backshall. This is brilliant news for young people who want to understand - and protect - the natural world 🗺️
22 Jun 2026EducationcelebratoryIntroducing the NEW Natural History GCSE 🌳🐙🐢🌺 Where better to announce the NEW Natural History GCSE than at the Natural History Museum here in South Kensington!?
17 Jun 2026TransportmeasuredI'm delighted this Labour government's Devolution Act gives London the power to properly regulate. It's time these companies started playing by the rules.
17 Jun 2026TransportmeasuredThe regulation of the dockless e-bike sector clearly isn't working. @londoncentric.media even uncovered Lime offering a carve out for speed limits to delivery drivers using their product.
16 Jun 2026Jobs & Employmentmeasured#TwoWeeksIsntEnough P.S. Come on England! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @dadshiftuk.bsky.social
16 Jun 2026Jobs & EmploymentmeasuredDid you know that the men’s World Cup Tournament lasts longer than the statutory paternity leave in the UK? The Gov's parental leave review wraps up this year. At a moment of national pride in our team, let's give ourselves paternity leave we can be proud of too.󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
15 Jun 2026Technology & DigitalcelebratoryThis is a momentous day for our country. We should not let big tech companies define childhood.

15 Jun 2026Technology & DigitalcelebratoryA hugely welcome announcement on social media and children from the Prime Minister this morning.
14 Jun 2026Culture & CommunityempatheticNine years after the Grenfell Tower Fire we remember the 72 people who lost their lives, and stand with solidarity and love for the bereaved, survivors and our community in North Kensington. Truth, Justice and Change has been far too slow, but together we will make it happen.
13 Jun 2026MP & ParliamentcelebratoryGreat day campaigning for Andy Burnham in the Makerfield by-election with Labour Unions, Angela Rayner, Lucy Powell and many other brilliant activists from across the country.
12 Jun 2026EducationcelebratoryFantastic to join Laura Henry-Allain MBE for the launch of her new book Maya & Marley and the New Friend in Portobello Square 📚 In the National Year of Reading, it’s never been more important to inspire a love of books in every child (and perhaps all commit to a little less screen time too...)
12 Jun 2026TransportcelebratoryI'm delighted our campaign for better regulation took a big step forward today, with the Government confirming new licensing arrangements for London will come in in the next few months to fix this mess. It can't come soon enough.
12 Jun 2026TransportmeasuredAs a cyclist myself I support more safer cycling in London - but it can't be right Lime make huge profits for venture capitalists in California, while the NHS and our local council pick up the costs.
12 Jun 2026TransportempatheticLime leg injuries, anti-social parking and pavement riding are all too common. One constituent has faced multiple surgeries after a hit and run from a child on a hacked Lime bike.
12 Jun 2026Defence & SecuritycelebratoryBritain and Morocco have a long history of friendship and partnership, and it is getting stronger. I invited everyone to watch Brazil v Morocco tomorrow night in North Kensington...

10 Jun 2026EducationcelebratoryThe role of Supplementary Schools play a vital role in supporting our children and young people - from after school clubs, language classes and tuition groups. Thank you so much to everyone involved in making the event happen and for all your hard work supporting our community.
10 Jun 2026EducationcelebratoryA wonderful visit to the Supplementary Schools Exhibition in North Kensington recently with Councillors Abdullahi Nur and Nadia Nail. We are so lucky to have such a diverse community of passionate educators in Kensington & Bayswater.
10 Jun 2026Housing & PlanningmeasuredIt’s over two years since the consultation on policy options closed. It’s time to take bold action.
10 Jun 2026Housing & PlanningmeasuredThe tax lawyer Dan Neidle recently found that the ultimate owners of 45,000 properties worth an estimated £190 billion are still hidden from public view. I want London to remain open to investment, but at a bare minimum we should have full transparency over who owns what.
8 Jun 2026MP & ParliamentangryWhat is Nigel Farage not telling us about his £5m “gift”? I spoke to Danny Finkelstein on Times Radio earlier today about the many unanswered questions surrounding Christopher Harborne’s generous “gift” to the Reform leader. It’s time for him to come clean.
8 Jun 2026Local GovernmentmeasuredBut just as important as the funding, is the commitment to additional scrutiny outside of RBKC. I agree with residents who want more transparency over the refurbishment, and I look forward to working with them to ensure RBKC are properly held to account.
