29 Apr 2026Housing & PlanningcelebratoryThis Labour government is bringing the feudal leasehold system to an end. Not overnight. Not in a single piece of legislation. Not recklessly. But decisively, and for good. A pleasure to deliver a keynote speech at the @instituteforgovernment.org.uk today. www.youtube.com/live/WqCFyqp...
29 Apr 2026Housing & PlanningmeasuredA huge thank you to all those Greenwich Wharf residents who joined me at The Forum in East Greenwich this evening to discuss heat networks, major works, services charges and customer service with representatives from L&Q.
23 Apr 2026Defence & SecuritycelebratoryThis Labour government is investing £10m to upgrade forces accommodation in Woolwich as part of the Defence Housing Strategy. A real pleasure to welcome Defence Secretary, John Healey, to Prince Imperial Road this morning to visit modernised homes for military families returning from Cyprus.
22 Apr 2026Housing & PlanningcelebratoryAn absolute joy to visit Battersea Dogs and Cats Home this morning to celebrate the fact that from next week, private renters will gain a new legal right to request a pet through powers in our transformative Renters’ Rights Act.
14 Apr 2026Defence & SecuritymeasuredIn an increasingly volatile world, an even closer partnership with our European allies is in Britain’s long-term national interest. Closer alignment provides an opportunity to strengthen our security and cut the cost of living.
13 Apr 2026EducationcelebratoryThis morning, a new, free breakfast club opened its doors at Christ Church C of E Primary School in East Greenwich. It joins existing clubs at Fossdene, Saint Mary Magdalene and St Peter’s in Woolwich providing nutritious meals to children and saving families hundreds of pounds.
5 Apr 2026Housing & PlanningcelebratoryToo right it does. In 26 days' time we will: ✅Abolish Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions. ✅Introduce periodic tenancies. ✅Limit rent increases to once a year. ✅Ban rental bidding and rent in advance. ✅Make discrimination against renters who have children or receive benefits illegal.
3 Apr 2026Crime & PolicingmeasuredThe police have already made three arrests and their investigation continues. An increased police presence will remain in the area. I urge anyone with any information to share it with the police on 101 quoting CAD 4848/2APR or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
3 Apr 2026Crime & PolicingempatheticThe murder of 14-year-old Eghosa Ogbebor on the streets of Woolwich yesterday sees the promise of another life senselessly extinguished. It leaves yet another family grief-stricken and a community further traumatised. We cannot allow serious youth violence to be normalised.
1 Apr 2026Energy & Net Zeromeasured"With several other European nations reeling from the fresh surge in oil and gas costs, ​the UK's wind-heavy power system may act as a blueprint for other countries also seeking to reduce fossil fuel exposure". www.reuters.com/business/ene...
1 Apr 2026Cost of LivingcelebratoryAs a result of decisions made by this Labour government, today sees: 🌹A 6.6% reduction in the energy price cap. 🌹A Minimum Wage and National Living Wage rise. 🌹NHS prescription charges frozen. We're delivering for working people.
31 Mar 2026Housing & PlanningmeasuredI appreciate fully the frustration Gidi. Your building has a unique set of challenges which you are well aware of and that I will not detail here, but progress is being made with the Gateway 2 application now being progressed. I'll continue to fight your corner as I have done over many years.
31 Mar 2026Housing & PlanningmeasuredI continue to do everything in my power to resolve the situation at Wick Tower @gidim.bsky.social and remain in close contact with the Residents Association (via James and Valentina) to that end.
