Great to be out on the doors in Holborn and St Pancras campaigning for Labour’s Sagal Abdi-Wali. Rooted in the local community, I know she will be a fantastic MP, serving local people and bringing hope to Camden 🌹

London's homicide rate hit its lowest level since records began. Yet 40% of the public thought that murders had risen since 2019. That’s the danger of disinformation. We cannot accept it, and to defeat it, we’ve got to put pressure on the social media companies who profit from it.
