My 1st Labour NEC - as the 1st BAME @SocialistSocs rep. Pleased NEC agreed to revive BAME Labour. Working with the current BAME Labour Exec, we'll have a functioning Socialist Society to ensure the voice of BAME members is heard & that BAME Labour members can fully participate.

Huge thanks to @bphillipsonMP for meeting with the Socialist Societies Executive Committee this evening!

It was great to hear about Bridget’s brilliant work in Government and to share updates from our Societies.

I joined Policing Minister @LabourSJ to launch Labour’s Respect Orders. 🚨

From today, repeat offenders in Ealing Southall face:

🚫 Town centre bans
💊 Mandatory drug tests and rehab
⛓️ Up to 2 years in prison for breaching an order

Labour is cracking down on crime.

Respect Orders are HERE 🚨

From today, police can arrest persistent antisocial offenders and put them behind bars for up to 2 years.

Brilliant to launch this new power in Southall with Policing Minister Sarah Jones and to show her what it will mean for our community. @LabourSJ

The rain didn’t stop us at Dormers Wells ward in Southall today! ☔

Great to catch up with constituents over coffee and share the latest on my work, including the big news that Labour's Respect Orders launch on Monday. More coffee mornings coming soon ☕️

I want less litter in Ealing Southall so last time I went to Ireland I checked out machines they use to recycle cans and plastic bottles. You get your money back for not littering. It's great news that Labour is bringing these machines to shops in Ealing Southall next year!

“Residents feel like no one cares.” 👀 Ealing Southall MP Deirdre Costigan took Southall’s shut police station straight to the Prime Minister - @deirdre.costigan.mp

estions on Wednesday 14 October, she told the Commons the station in the middle of Southall’s town centre has been closed for almost ten years, and that the shutters make criminals feel they can get away with it. She asked the Prime Minister to back her campaign to reopen it, and the benches cheered.

His answer on the police station is at the end.

Should Southall police station reopen? 👇 Send this to anyone in Southall who’s been asking the same thing 🙏

For almost 10 years, a shuttered police station has sat in the heart of Southall.

I’ve asked @andyburnham to back my campaign to pull up the shutters and bring it back to life so that local residents in Ealing Southall can feel safe again. 👮

Great to be out campaigning for @Sagal_AW today. Fingers crossed for a Labour victory!

Voted by post for my brilliant friend @Sagal_AW to be our MP for Holborn & St Pancras. Polling stations open tomorrow at 7 am till 10 pm. Make a plan to vote!

This is what a campaign of hope looks like. Can’t wait to go again today!

5 days until polling day! 🌹

What a turnout!

It’s fantastic to be out campaigning for the amazing @Sagal_AW in Holborn & St. Pancras.

Thank you to every Socialist Society, @labourunionsuk, @GMBLondonRegion and Labour campaigner who joined us.

Vote Labour on Thursday 8 October 🌹

Great to be back from Labour Party conference and straight back to my regular surgeries, this time at Northfields Library.

“If you come to us and tell us to do something because it’s fundamentally the right thing to do, you will have a hearing from this government purely on that basis” - my favourite quote from #LPC26. From the brilliant @kirstyjmcneill at @LabourCID @bondngo development rally

Come and join @LGBTLabour, @labourirish and lots more @SocialistSocs on Saturday as we spread the word about Labour's brilliant local candidate in Holborn & St Pancras, @Sagal_AW!

Thank you to everyone who worked to make Conference a success, from Labour staffers to all working at the ACC.

Labour is bringing back hope with Andy Burnham as our PM.

Next up: @SocialistSocs and @labourunionsuk Holborn & St. Pancras campaign day on 3 October 🌹 #Lab26

We can do it.

We will believe again.

We will hope again.

We are ready for @andyburnham’s first conference speech.

Blown away by Andy Burnham's speech at Labour Conference today - and so pleased to hear him put eradicating homelessness at the heart of his plan. I'll work with Andy to give everyone in Camden a route off the streets.

Thank you to everyone who joined our Socialist Societies reception at Labour Party Conference!

It was great to hear from Labour’s new General Secretary Joe Fortune, @DavidTaylor85, @EmilyThornberry & our brilliant SocSoc speakers.

Thanks to @YMCAEng_Wales. Join a SocSoc today.
