For my Havering residents. I have contacted the senior police leadership team. In regard to the ongoing fires at Ingrebourne Hill. I know with Launders Lane you have enough to deal with. Please leave this for the police to investigate. I will let you know when I get feedback. Stay safe everyone.

Great to be at London Labour's Conference recently discussing outcomes for children in temporary accommodation. Housing underpins everything in life. As a member of @ta-appg.bsky.social I’m always working to increase the provision of council housing as a way to solve the housing crisis. 🏠

The clear commitment from the new Prime Minister to get to grips with the cost of living for families, provides welcome relief for Dagenham & Rainham. I’m also pleased with the relief to small businesses and pubs via real cuts to business rates.

Three weeks ago I was at Healthy Homes APPG's 10 year anniversary reception in Parliament. Housing underpins everything in life, and the provision of a good quality well maintained secure home you can afford to live in is a foundation for success. 🏡

I am so sad to hear Hollie Ridley will be resigning, Hollie was made in Dagenham. Has been an inspiration to so many in the Labour Party. A great friend to Dagenham and Rainham. Hollie understands working class communities. The need to deliver, lead by Hollie with driving on the Labour win in 2024.

A couple of weeks ago @dailymail.co.uk asked for a comment on the ‘Rainham Volcano’ but only covered the interventions from a Tory MP and the Reform council. I guess my quote didn’t fit their narrative. Here’s the article (behind a paywall): dailymail.com/news/article... Here’s what I said. 👇

Last Tuesday I was at Dagenham Green, joined by the @ldnculture.bsky.social, as Peabody and The Hill Group unveiled two new art installations to commemorate the striking Ford women. The story behind “Dagenham Agate” is fascinating and I’d urge residents to pop down and learn more!

Given the focus that exists on curbing welfare spending as well as seeking ways to ease the cost of living, now is the time to look again at rent controls. My piece in @labourlist.bsky.social here:

'The case for capping rents' - LabourList
If we can deliver a seismic shift in numbers of affordable rented homes coupled with rent controls, we can finally address our housing needs.

I was proud to be asked to speak at the launch of the foodbank by the faith group. Ideally we should be in a place in society without food banks. But as they said today, and Pastor Peter from Rainham was there too, said the same thing. Working people are using food banks. Hope is their offer.
