This isn't a horror movie, it's the daily reality for Palestinian children Children who look just like our own, yet whose blood the world has decided runs cheap We've abandoned our humanity. When history asks what we did during the Gaza genocide, what will we say? Speak up now

Last week I visited the new Mildmay Studio women's-only gym that is under construction in Ilford. We're redeveloping an under-used space in a prime location to deliver the leisure facilities that you have asked us for. Can't wait to try it once it opens!

A great start to the morning talking to residents about their local issues and helping them get set up with the Love Clean Streets app so they can report problems easily.

This afternoon I spoke to BBC London about the Spending Review and what it means for Redbridge. Times are tight, but we're delivering more with less in the most challenging financial circumstances ever. We're working with gov't & fighting for a fair deal for our residents.

Yesterday I spoke to BBC London about the ongoing budget pressures councils face. While the Spending Review brought some support, it falls short of what’s needed. I visited Oakfield Lodge to understand the pressure on the front line. Watch my conversation ⬇️

🕯️ Honoured to have attended the Srebrenica Remembrance Service to mark 30 years since the genocide of 8,000+ Bosniak lives Joined by dignitaries including Sadiq Khan, Angela Rayner and others, we were reminded about why we must always confront hatred and division #Srebrenica30

77 years ago, the HMT Empire Windrush docked at Tilbury Docks. The Windrush generation embodied the best of Britain. To commemorate Windrush Day this year, I joined a local Windrush commemoration at Ilford Central SDA Church, with musical tributes by a nationally-acclaimed choir.

On the third anniversary of Zara Aleena's murder, my thoughts are with her and her family today. Male violence is a scourge on society, and Zara deserved better. We are working hard in Redbridge to tackle these attitudes - but there's a long way to go. RIP Zara.

Yesterday, we held a special Armed Forces Day celebration outside Redbridge Town Hall to honour the contributions of those who serve and have served, raising public awareness of their dedication to our country.

Today we remembered Zara Aleena, walking with her loved ones to finish the journey she never made home. Zara will forever remain in our hearts 🙏🏾 A powerful reminder that so much more must be done to end violence against women and girls.

We are so proud of our SSPP children! A small group from our school took part in the grand opening of the new facilities at South Park yesterday, following ongoing discussions between our steering group and local councillors Tanweer Khan and Vanisha Solanki.

Today is Srebrenica Memorial Day. I had the honour of attending the moving ceremony at St Pauls Cathedral to remember the victims. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” A powerful reminder, especially with the suffering we see around the world today.
