My thoughts are with all those affected by the truly horrifying scenes unfolding in Hong Kong - including anyone in our wonderful Hong Konger community in Sutton who might have friends and family impacted by this tragedy.

Labour has let London down yet again.
The Government has refused to fund vital infrastructure for our city, offered nothing to our struggling hospitality industry, and chickened out of seeking the new Customs Union with the EU our economy needs.

The Prime Minister just told me any party leader should want to get to the bottom of this Russian bribery scandal with Reform.
He is the Prime Minister and a party leader. Why isn't he launching a national investigation himself?

Labour will betray Londoners if the Chancellor does not lay out measures to tackle our city's punishing combination of a housing and cost of living crisis & red tape around our businesses.

This morning I challenged the Govt to clarify what their changes to settlement requirements mean for BNO holders.
It would be utterly unfair to move the goalposts for Hong Kongers who give back so much to the communities that welcomed them.

So many tradespeople across Sutton tell me they are sick and tired of tool thefts going unsolved.
The police and trading standards need the resources and power to clamp down on it - or else livelihoods will continue to be hit over and over again, and more thieves will get away with it.

BREAKING ‼️
The Govt has just confirmed that Hong Kongers with a BNO passport will still qualify for settlement after 5 years.
I know how much this will mean to so many people - and will be received with a huge sigh of relief.
Proud that our campaign has paid off and the Govt has listened to us!

There's just a week to go until the budget - so there's still time for the Chancellor to listen to our calls for a 5% VAT cut for Hospitality and to save households £270 on their energy bills.

Today's news simply underscores that we should not, cannot, must not allow a new Chinese "super embassy" here in London.
It's not just MPs who are targeted for surveillance, but Hong Kongers on our own streets too. We must take transnational repression seriously.
