Out campaigning today with Sagal Abdi-Wali, Labour’s candidate for the Holborn and St Pancras by-election. Great to be out meeting residents, listening to their views and making the case for Sagal and the future she wants to build for the constituency. The by-election takes place on 8 October!🌹

At the hardest moments in life, people should not have to worry about whether they can take time off work to grieve. The Government has announced new rights for employees to take leave when they suffer a bereavement. It's an important step in the right direction👇️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Prime Minister is right: our water industry has become “a leaking monument” to an economic model that has too often put private profit before the public interest. People are fed up with sewage, leaks and rising bills. We need a water system that works for communities first.
