I’m delighted that Grahame Park in Colindale will benefit from the Met Police’s Safer Streets Summer Initiative, backed by Labour-led City Hall. Grahame Park residents will see more police on patrol, and tougher action on thefts, burglary, knife crime and antisocial behaviour.

One year ago today, the country elected Labour to deliver change. Fixing the foundations. Building a fairer country. Delivering national renewal. That work of change has begun. Much more work still to do, but I'm deeply proud of what we've achieved so far.

BREAKING: 570,000 more families across London will receive £150m off their energy bills next winter, including thousands in Hendon. Labour is extending the Warm Home Discount to protect more low income households and pensioners across the country. Putting money back in your pocket.

This Labour Government will end the feudal leasehold system for good by banning new leasehold flats. But what about existing leaseholders? As we transition to a commonhold future, Labour will strengthen the safeguards in place to protect you and offer a path for conversion to commonhold 👇

The Conservatives let fraud and serious economic crime spiral hopelessly out of control. This Labour government is taking action. But we can’t do it alone. Major tech companies have let their online platforms become rife with fraud - and millions of people are paying the price 👇

The Conservatives failed to maintain flood defences, despite the risk of flood damage continuing to rise. Thankfully, Colindale and Burnt Oak will benefit from Labour’s investment in new defences. Another mess the last government left for Labour to clean up through our Plan for Change.

Labour's £70m investment in new radiotherapy machines at hospitals including the Royal Free means faster cancer care for our community. The new technology will cut waiting times and deliver better outcomes for patients in Hendon. This is Labour's Plan for Change in action.

The previous Conservative Government allowed fly tipping and litter on our streets to soar. Labour is giving councils the power to seize and crush fly-tipping vehicles to clean up Hendon. Here’s a message from Labour’s Environment Secretary Steve Reed 👇🏼

A good day to read my interview with @davidpintod.bsky.social, the son of a Holocaust survivor 🕯️ The MP said that while the “big story” is written in the history books, it's only the “millions of little stories” that portray the “full scope of the story of the Holocaust that is passed on to us”

Leaseholders are being ripped off by managing agents charging excessive fees. This Government will end the feudal leasehold system for good. While those reforms go through Parliament, Labour MPs will hold managing agents to account to lower their unfair and unaffordable service charges.

14 years of Conservative Government left Edgware High Street in a terrible state. I have lobbied BT to remove two phone boxes which had become a magnet for vandalism and litter. I'll continue to work hard to revitalise Edgware High Street for residents, shoppers and businesses.

A privilege to pay tribute to the work done by the Royal British Legion in Parliament. To RBL volunteers in Hendon, including the brilliant Edgware branch, who embody selflessness and duty, and for your tireless work all year round to support our servicemen and women - thank you.

Diagnosis with a comparatively rarer form of cancer can leave patients with a disproportionately lower chance of making a full recovery. We must ensure those suffering from rare and less common forms of cancer, and those yet to be diagnosed, have as much cause for hope as possible.

Following our meeting with leasehold managing agent RMG, 30 MPs have signed our letter setting out steps to delivering better service and more transparency with residents. You can read the commitments RMG have agreed to here. We will continue to hold them to account on behalf of our constituents.

I've just co-chaired a meeting with RMG, one of the country's largest leasehold managing agents. Residents like the ones I've met in Beaufort Park in Colindale are paying too much for a poor standard of service. We're making sure that changes.

Online scams are hugely worrying for people in Hendon and across the UK. One of my constituents told me they were scammed out of £40,000. The last Tory government let fraud spiral out of control. Thankfully, this Labour government is determined to tackle fraud and economic crime as a priority.

A few weeks ago, we questioned the MD of FirstPort and demanded they improve their service. On Wed, myself and Rachel Blake along with over 30 of our Labour colleagues have written to the MD of RMG-who manage over 80 sites across the country-to ask them to come to Parliament and explain themselves.

The last Tory Government allowed public sector fraud to spiral hopelessly out of control. It has tripled since 2010. They allowed billions of taxpayers’ money - our money - to be stolen. Luckily this Government will tackle fraud head-on.

Today I met with the CEO of @nhghousing.bsky.social who manage over 2,000 homes in Hendon - especially in Colindale. I’m hearing the same complaints about them too often. Unexplained service charge increases. An inadequate standard of service provided. A lack of transparency.

It's been one of the most exciting days since Labour won the election. The Chancellor’s speech was all about showing what Labour does in power. But today’s announcements were only possible thanks to the tough decisions we’ve made to date. Economic growth relies on stable foundations.
