It is a huge privilege to be elected again as the Labour Party candidate for Dulwich and West Norwood, the area which has been my home for more than 20 years, since first being elected in 2015.

I work closely on the issues that matter most to my constituents – championing our NHS and brilliant local schools, tackling the housing crisis, fighting the injustice of the Windrush scandal and the hostile environment, tackling air pollution and improving road safety, stopping the climate emergency, and calling for the action needed to lower the cost of living.

I led the campaign against the closure of our local Royal Mail Delivery Offices in East Dulwich and West Norwood and have worked since then to fix our broken postal services.  I campaigned for better support for King’s College Hospital staff throughout the Covid-19 pandemic successfully forcing the government to write off the hospital’s historic debt. Every week, I work closely with the local communities most affected by serious violence and support the vital work of our fantastic youth organisations working to tackle this. And I helped to save our much-loved local football club Dulwich Hamlet FC, raising their plight in Parliament.
