On the sixth anniversary of the Fishmongers’ Hall terror attack, we remember Saskia Jones & Jack Merritt who tragically lost their lives.

They will remain in our thoughts, as will our emergency services & the Londoners who bravely put themselves in danger that day to help others.

Met with Education Committee Chair @helenhayes.bsky.social to raise the concerns I’m hearing from parents and schools about a SEND system at breaking point.

Families are facing long waits, transport issues and stressful tribunals.

We are delighted to hear that the Education Select Committee, chaired by @helenhayes.bsky.social, have launched an inquiry to explore how to keep the joy of reading alive.

We believe this starts in the earliest years of childhood. 🧵

October saw our AGM, which was attended by our ambassador @helenhayes.bsky.social and, most importantly, our star volunteers. The work all our volunteers do is indispensable - whether assisting at groups, giving lifts, helping at our parties, befriending or delivering our newsletters.

Great to join @helenhayes.bsky.social and members in Dulwich and West Norwood today to speak to voters and talk about my campaign.

We have crucial elections in London next May and we’ll only win by reuniting our broad voter coalition and the country.

I’ve enjoyed visiting some of our brilliant local holiday activities & food (HAF) programmes this summer

I’m really pleased that the government has confirmed further HAF funding for the next 3 years

It is vital for tackling poverty & delivering opportunity for our children

Today the Education Select Committee publishes our report on Children’s Social Care

Current outcomes for care leavers are unacceptable & that has to change

Our recommendations seek to improve the care children receive & we call for a National Offer for care leavers. #childrenssocialcare
