Concerns about the toxic effect of smartphones & social media on young people is a big issue for my constituents

I’m working hard to:
✅ Bring local parents, schools and students together
✅ Agree a common smartphone policy in schools
✅ Call for tougher and enforced regulations

Enjoyed visiting Croke Park to discuss supporting the growth of @officialgaa.bsky.social in Britain.

GAA membership in Britain has increased by nearly 30% in just 4 years - with participants from all backgrounds.

Clubs also do vital work in communities from London to Liverpool and beyond.

It was good to talk to @news.rte.ie
with @ivanabacik.bsky.social
in Dublin yesterday about the need for survivors of Mother & Baby Homes to get redress.

I hope to ensure this happens in Britain with Philomena’s Law - and appreciate all the support this is getting: amp.rte.ie/amp/1506923/

Really good to meet with Sinn Fein
Reps inc TD Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire & MP Daire Hughes

Grateful for their support for “Philomena’s Law” to ensure thousands of survivors in Britain receive the redress they are entitled to - and discuss support for Irish communities in Britain.

A real honour to meet the Special Advocate for Survivors, Patricia Carey, and a group of survivors from Ireland’s Mother & Baby Homes.

Their courage and determination is humbling, and I’m proud to be working with them to support thousands of survivors living in Britain.

Great to be in Dublin and to catch-up with the Irish Labour family including some of their brilliant new intake of TDs!

And Irish Labour Leader @ivanabacik.bsky.social
- who was born in Beckenham & lived in Penge! 🌹🇮🇪

It was great to meet with Minister
Norma Foley yesterday on “Philomena’s Law” to support thousands of survivors of Ireland’s Mother & Baby Homes living in Britain.

I’m really grateful for the support I’ve had from her and the Irish Government so far.

A great day of canvassing in the sun in Kelsey & Eden Park and a really good response from residents with lots of casework collected too!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to talk to us! ☀️🌹

Top-quality childcare places boost children’s life chances and parent’s work choices!

I’m delighted that two schools in Beckenham & Penge are amongst the first to get new school-based nurseries - and will support more schools to do so!

A brilliant morning with @serailway.bsky.social to celebrate Clock House and Elmers End stations turning 161 years old!

And it was great to see so many people thanking the wonderful staff who are an important part of our community.

Looking forward to more #Railway200 celebrations soon!

I’m delighted we’ve secured £725,000 in funding from Government for solar panels to be installed at Bethlem Hospital.

Solar energy is cleaner and cheaper. It’s perfect for public buildings, especially NHS hospitals 🏥☀️🌱

(2/2) … My thanks again to the local team for organising a great event, to everyone that attended - and the brilliant staff at Kent County Cricket Ground for hosting us!

An amazing Beckenham & Penge CLP fundraiser last night with special guests @florenceeshalomi.bsky.social
& Neil Kinnock!

I’m proud of our CLP, the campaigning culture we’ve built in the past year & it’s always great to get members together! 🌹

… And a very Happy 83rd Birthday to Neil today! 🎂

Beckenham & Penge is where local lad David Bowie launched his music career.

Today it’s home to a vibrant community of creatives whose work is increasingly sought by AI companies.

I’m grateful for reassurance Government is working to protect them and ensure fair remuneration.

Last night I held a public briefing on Philomena’s Law in Parliament with
@irishinbritain.bsky.social

It was particularly moving to hear from survivors - a reminder of the need for change. There are 13,000+ living in Britain.

Thanks to everyone who came and to Ailbhe Rea for chairing.

Incredible atmosphere as London is awash with green for the St Patrick’s Day Parade!

I’m proud to be London Irish, and to join our Mayor Sadiq Khan to celebrate the enormous contributions the Irish community make to our great city!

Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh! ☘️🇮🇪

Yesterday I introduced “Philomena’s Law” to deliver justice for the 13,000 survivors of Ireland’s Mother & Baby Homes living in Britain.

This feature on
@news.rte.ie
tells Philomena’s story and why this change in the law is so important ⬇️

Today I introduced Philomena’s Law to support the 13,000 survivors of Ireland’s Mother & Baby Homes in Britain

Currently, accepting compensation from Irish Government will mean they lose means-tested benefits

Just as we did with Windrush, we must ringfence compensation payments

Delighted to be able to take a fantastic team from
Beckenham & Penge Labour
to help in Sittingbourne ahead of local elections! 🌹

We’re looking forward to coming back to support their brilliant MP @kevinmckenna.co.uk and Council candidates.

Hoping for more sunny days like this too! ☀️

Had a great time visiting the Beckenham Dementia Cafe at St Edmund’s Church today.

The Cafe provides invaluable support and friendship for people living with dementia and their carers.

All run by wonderful volunteers - and a very cute comfort dog!

Lots of teams out today in the Spring sun speaking to residents in West Wickham with a great response!
