Ilford Recorder Column September 2021

In my Ilford Recorder column this month I’ve written about my anger at the Government’s disastrous handling of our withdrawal from Afghanistan, which has left innocent people to die and made our own country more vulnerable to terrorist attack. There are not words to convey the anger I feel about…

Launch of 10 by 10

Today I’ve announced Labour’s great new plan to give every child 10 great experiences by the age of 10 in this interview with the Guardian. Research I’m publishing today shows that the Tories have allowed children’s opportunities in drama, music, sport and other childhood experiences to disappear. They wouldn’t accept…

Flooding in Ilford North

Following the recent floods I’ve written to Thames Water demanding urgent repair and upgrade works. I was shocked to see the damage caused to so many properties by the flood water. If we are to see these extreme weather patterns more often then Thames Water need to ensure that our…

Super-sized Classes

Parents don’t want to see their kids crammed into bulging classes, like sardines in a tin. But on Boris Johnson’s watch, that’s exactly what’s happening. Since the Tories took office, the number of pupils in super-size classes of over 30 kids has increased by 20 per cent. New analysis of…

Crime and anti-social behaviour

Tackling crime and anti-social behaviour is a big priority for me. It inflicts misery and fear on people where we should feel most safe: our own homes and streets. In August 2021 I published new research showing the impact of crime on kids as Labour’s Shadow Child Poverty Secretary. Conservative…

Reaction to Boris Johnson Comments – Ilford Recorder, May 2021

“Let the bodies pile high in their thousands.” I’m not a regular Daily Mail reader, but I read Monday’s paper. That was the headline splashed across the front page. It’s the sort of thing you expect to hear a tyrant in some foreign country say. But, no, these are the…

Keir Starmer visits Redbridge

It was brilliant to have Keir Starmer come out to join Jas Athwal, Garfield Judith and I on the campaign trail in Redbridge. We were fortunate to be able to take him taken on a tour of the soon-to-be expanded Fairlop Waters. He said: “Redbridge Council is building homes, libraries,…

Police Bill – Ilford Recorder, March 2021

The tragic death of Sarah Everard has shocked the whole country. Alongside the outpouring of grief for Sarah’s family and friends is a demand for tougher action to tackle such violence. This week’s Crime Bill was a golden opportunity to take action against domestic homicides, rape and street harassment. Instead, the…
