3 in 4 dementia carers have no alternative plans if they become unable to provide care. We need a carers’ strategy that clearly sets out carers’ rights and ensures they’re supported with arrangements for alternative provision for their loved ones. My remarks in Parliament.

I can highly recommend a Caribbean lunch from Mama Wends at the Friday market on the World's End Estate, Chelsea. It's run by the mother of Chad Solomon in his memory. He was a much-loved youth worker for the area who sadly died young.

Thank you to Barons Court Project for inviting me to ā€œSTREETā€ Barons Court Theatre, which tackles issues around rough sleeping. A powerful way of marking the Barons Court Project's 40 years of supporting people on low incomes, homeless and/or vulnerable to mental health issues.

The rhetoric, actions and agenda of Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir towards Palestinians is dangerous and extremist. Today the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Norway are taking action ā¬‡ļø gov.uk/government/new…

Gibraltar’s economy and way of life was under threat. We have secured a practical solution which safeguards sovereignty, jobs and growth. Working in lockstep with Fabian Picardo we have ensured Gibraltar’s interests - as part of the UK family - are at the heart of this

Last week, govt announced millions more for Charing Cross Hospital. Today, it's putting a record extra £33bn investment into the NHS. And to tackle homelessness and overcrowding, there's £39bn for new affordable homes. Lots more to do but we're making progress.

Nearly a quarter of a million off NHS waiting lists. Lowest level in two years. And the first time they’ve fallen in April in 17 years! Lots done, lots to do. We’re delivering our Plan for Change. I won’t rest until the job is done.

Delighted by new govt £ for Chelsea & Fulham - digitising records to create space in four GP practices & upgrading three schools' buildings to boost learning. Spending Review has also given billions more to cut NHS waiting lists plus more £ per pupil. We're putting things right.

Today is a truly heartbreaking day for many British and Indian families up and down the country. I want to extend my heartfelt sympathies to all those impacted by the horrific plane crash.

Good news for those w. sickle cell disease in Chelsea & Fulham and across England as govt invests Ā£9m in cell-replacement machines at specialist centres. Let's keep working to ensure that everyone's health matters. Well done Sickle Cell Society, NHS England. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

In my maiden speech as a new MP, I pledged to work so food banks weren't needed. Trussell says mental and physical ill health from hunger and hardship is costing an extra £1.6bn. Today, I asked health ministers how they were tackling this in Chelsea & Fulham and our country.

More Chelsea & Fulham families on means-tested benefits are to get £150 off energy bills. Other cost-of-living help incl. free primary school breakfasts, free school meals if on Universal Credit, cutting cost of school uniforms, expanding childcare hours. More to do.

Strong report by NHS Race & Health Observatory, Imperial College London & Sickle Cell Society evidences inequalities in sickle cell disease, says we need better data, support & treatment. So I'm delighted govt investing £9m in sickle cell replacement at specialist centres. We must keep tackling all inequality.
