We've not had much luck with the weather but it's always a pleasure to join events at All Saints Community Centre in the ward 🌭🌸🍰
A lovely summer party today and a great @LewDeptLabour fundraiser last night!
Also delighted to see New Cross Gate's own @ForestRoadBrew on sale!
Solidarity with @LewishamNeu on strike today at Prendergast Schools in #Lewisham. Teachers didn’t ask for this fight but will battle against school privatisation and the protection of quality education in the Borough. Join important meeting at Ladywell School tonight at 6:30pm
Great to join residents and talk to @BBCRadioLondon this morning about Citizens House.
This pioneering partnership between @LewishamCouncil and local residents has delivered fantastic, affordable homes for the community at prices set, permanently, by what local people earn.
Turning Point UK are planning to protest against a Drag Storytime event in my constituency this Saturday for the third time.
I asked the PM to condemn their attempts to spread hatred and division in my constituency and across the country.
He refused.
Good attendance at school is crucial for children's learning and development.
So it's great to hear that Lewisham is again top of inner London boroughs for school attendance.
Another example of our local authority working with Lewisham's family of schools for better education
It was great to welcome social workers to Lewisham's World Social Work Day conference at the Broadway Theatre.
It's important we value our social workers and make sure their efforts don't go unnoticed. Thank you for all you do.

Great day out with @lewishamlabour talking to residents in Telegraph Hill, Crofton Park, Ladywell, Hither Green and Lewisham Central. Lots of conversations about the future of Lewisham and the need for a general election. #LabourDoorstep
