Lovely to be out on the doorstep in Myatt's Fields this afternoon. If you're heading back from work, there's still time to cast your vote in this byelection! Polling stations are open until 10pm ⏰

It’s election day in Holborn and St Pancras! We’re out knocking on doors and making sure everyone gets to the polls to support Sagal! Polls are open until 10pm, so there’s still time to get out and have your say. Every vote counts! 🌹

I’m backing the West London Orbital🚆 With Neasden on the proposed route, it could mean better journeys, 16,000 new homes and 23,000 new jobs. Let’s unlock more of London’s potential! Have your say in TfL’s consultation by 18 November 👇 haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/west-london-...

My campaign to scrap ‘Aim to Permit’ started in Brent. I'm pleased the Govt will soon start the consultation to end it. Huge win for Brent, London & communities across Britain. More power for residents to shape their high streets. Read how we got here👇🏾 www.kilburntimes.co.uk/news/2656352...

What a night at the Curry Life Awards! 🏆 Almost £5bn for our economy and 100,000 jobs! So much to celebrate and every reason to support our brilliant curry industry. Congratulations to all the winners! By the way, these were the heaviest awards I’ve ever presented!

Joining people from across London today to mark 90 years since the Battle of Cable Street. In 1936, Jewish and Irish communities, trade unionists and working people stood shoulder to shoulder, united against fascism, antisemitism and hatred 90 years on, that message matters as much as ever.

AI is moving fast behind our backs. The guardrails and democratic oversight need to keep up. That’s why I’ll be introducing a new Bill to protect people. Because when someone tells you AI is “all under control”, always ask: Under whose control?

The chip shop challenge is back! 🍟 Needed a break from canvassing in Holborn & St Pancras, so I thought I’d check out Sagal’s favourite chip shop. I even mixed things up and tried chilli sauce 👀 I was impressed! Check out Camden Chippy if you’re in Camden.

Nobody should have to fight for time to grieve. From April next year, new bereavement leave rights will give people the time and space they need after losing a loved one, including those experiencing pregnancy loss. That's the difference a Labour government makes.
