Students from two Hammersmith schools recently met researchers to learn about a career in cancer research at one of the regular 'Careers in Cancer Research' events held by The Institute of Cancer Research. A brilliant event, I'm sure they were inspired! www.icr.ac.uk/about-us/pub...

Last week I met with @lobularbcuk.bsky.social & learned that Lobular Breast Cancer is the second most common breast cancer, yet many have never heard of it. It grows more like a spider’s web, making it hard to detect. You can download LBCUK's leaflet here: lobularbreastcancer.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Last night we met in Lyric Square, Hammersmith to light the first Chanukah candle as we do every year. We remembered those killed and injured in the atrocity in Sydney and we reaffirmed our commitment to hope and unity in the face of such horror.

The wet wipes cleared from 'Wet Wipe Island' in the Thames by Hammersmith show the scale of the issue of wet wipes polluting our rivers. We're banning plastic in wet wipes which is a huge win for our rivers, ocean and wildlife!

Great to see the Chancellor on her visit to Sipsmith Distillery in Chiswick today to celebrate the success of the UK–India trade deal, which is due to generate 7,000 jobs across the UK, including 2,591 in London. Read more about the visit here: www.chiswickw4.com/default.asp?....

Another wonderful day out at Chiswick Dog Show at the weekend, delighted to have been asked back to judge for the second year in a row. It was also great to catch up with Blue Cross, who I visited in Hammersmith in August, at their stall.

Some hope among the tragedy and bloodshed in Palestine as Britain joins Canada, Australia and France in recognising the State of Palestine. Proud to see Ambassador Husam Zomlot raise the Palestinian flag over his Embassy here in Hammersmith yesterday.

It was great to be at the official opening of the new Chiswick Health Centre last week. A very impressive new NHS building incorporating 3 GP practices, a range of NHS services and community space for residents to enjoy.

The troubling findings of Baroness Harman’s independent review of bullying, harassment & sexual harassment are primarily for the Bar itself & for the judiciary to address, but I asked if the Government support the recommendations & what can they do to ensure they are implemented.

A great day out at Tidefest on Sunday! It was brilliant to see so many people enjoying the Thames and being able to do so safely thanks to the huge efforts that have gone into cleaning it up and keeping it free of pollution and rubbish.

Great to visit Jack Tizard School with the Secretary of State for Energy Security & Net Zero to see the solar panels that have already saved the school £2000. Hammersmith & Fulham Community Energy now aims to bring the solar panels into community ownership: www.repowering.org.uk/hammersmitha...

I asked the Minister today if he thinks that the postponed French-Saudi conference on a two-state solution, which may take place as early as next month, will provide the significant opportunity that he seeks to recognise Palestine as a state alongside UK allies.

I spoke this afternoon in support for the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. The pain and indignity of a slow and painful death is something none of us would wish on anyone.

The Football Governance Bill strengthens the previous Government's Bill, particularly when it comes to financial sustainability. Not only are football clubs the beating heart of our communities but they give a lot back and no club is better at this than QPR.

Andy Slaughter @hammersmithandy.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

I am pleased the Lord Chancellor has announced the inquiry into the Nottingham attacks. Sadly there are hundreds such cases every year, I asked yesterday whether the inquiry will consider other cases so wider lessons can be learned to prevent these tragic and avoidable crimes.

Andy Slaughter @hammersmithandy.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

After every atrocity and illegal act, the Foreign Office expresses its concern, and then things get worse. I asked yesterday whether the Minister has considered what steps the Government should take to make things better on the ground for Palestinians and Israelis.

Andy Slaughter @hammersmithandy.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

Failing to act in the face of Israel breaking the ceasefire in such a violent manner has consequences. I asked the Foreign Secretary today if he will look again at Government policy on recognition, sanctions, trade and arms supply.

Israeli forces are displacing communities and using heavy weapons against civilians in the West Bank. I asked today for the Government’s response on this to both Israel and the UN. Is it not time that we responded to the ICJ advisory opinion?

Today I asked the Leader of the House for a statement on knife crime that included phasing out pointed kitchen knives, which are far and away the most common murder weapon in England and Wales. bit.ly/3Q83EHO (1/4)

Honoured that His Majesty King Charles III visited the constituency today, he expressed the wish to meet the Polish community in London and where better to do that than at the Polish Social and Cultural Association (POSK) in Hammersmith.

Five years ago Charing Cross Hospital was under threat of demolition. Now funding for Charing Cross, Hammersmith & St Mary’s is confirmed. The £50m for St Mary’s shows commitment to Imperial sites & will maintain confidence from academic and commercial partners. bit.ly/4aJ24FD

The chair of the CCRC has been prised out of her job, six months after the Secretary of State described her as “unable to fulfil her duties”. I asked yesterday when a new chair will be appointed and whether this will be accompanied by a wider review of the CCRC.

Andy Slaughter @hammersmithandy.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

I am pleased that the two major reviews of the criminal justice system may report shortly. With the current pressures on the courts and on the prison estate, today I asked the Secretary of State when we can expect a direct impact from the results of these reviews.

A very moving Holocaust Memorial Day event in Hammersmith yesterday to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau and the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Bosnia.

It is easy for drones to access prisons because of the appalling state of prison maintenance. I asked the Minister yesterday what the timetable is for repairing the problems in prisons and getting to grips with the £1.8bn maintenance backlog left by the previous government.
