Erith & Thamesmead Labour🌹

After a stunning reelection, our brilliant MP @abenaopp has been asked by Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer to be a Parliamentary Secretary to the Cabinet Office. Making her the first Female British Government Minister of Ghanaian descent, a huge achievement!! 🌹🥳

Great to have Steve from Oscar Mayer as my first guest! We had the pleasure of hearing him discuss the world of public relations and his background in the food industry! Follow #AbenaSummerSchool for updates all week.

Today marks the launch of my Campaign Summer School 2025! I had a great time kicking things off with the students with an icebreaker and sharing my journey to Parliament as an MP and as a Minister in the Cabinet Office. Follow #AbenaSummerSchool for updates all week.

Rain didn’t stop play in Abbey Wood on Saturday! A big thank you to the many party members who came out on the doorstep, and to the residents who spent time with us discussing issues and concerns in our community.
