I'm proud to be the first London Mayor to lead a trade mission to Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa. There is great opportunity for investment that will benefit both London and our global partners. My message is clear: London is open for business. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
This is the biggest overhaul of the water sector in a generation. My government will abolish Ofwat and establish a single powerful regulator to prevent water pollution and protect families from bill hikes. Ending the chaos of the past. Delivering for working people.

The national inquiry into NHS maternity care is vital. Families deserve truth, accountability and safer services. In Southwark, we launched our own Maternity Commission to tackle inequalities and improve care. Local voices must shape national change.
She certainly will. Glad that she also has the backing of Peckham CLP. She will be a brilliant advocate 👏🏽👏🏽
I don't often endorse candidates for @UKLabour Conference Arrangements Committee, but I've just seen that @EmilyP_Smith is standing I met her in SW Wiltshire whilst campaigning for @evenor23 there: I know that she would be a brilliant advocate for disabled members at conference.
Honoured to have met Sam King MBE - a true trailblazer. From RAF veteran to Southwark’s first Black mayor, he championed equality and culture. A Blue Plaque in Camberwell now honours his legacy. We stand on his shoulders. ❤️
As a Southwark kid, I remember the warmth of a hot school dinner. Today I’m proud to lead the next step: transforming meals across our borough. ✅ Free nursery breakfasts ✅ Support for families on UC ✅ Healthier meals, fair pay, higher standards No child should go hungry.
The “Taste of Home” great workshop! @SwkCharities @PartnershipSWK @SwarkPensioners @SWK_CHWP @SelfCareForum @LASwark @SouthwarkHub @London_cf @evenor23 @IHLSouthwark
With our local health on the high street programme, waiting lists down and now GP surgeries being upgraded across our borough, Labour is bringing healthcare to the community and recovering our NHS 🩺
This morning Southwark Cathedral hosts our annual civic awards and Mayor Making ceremonies, as we celebrate those residents who have made exceptional contributions to our local area
I spoke against the Assisted Dying Bill again today. My concerns about vulnerable communities have only grown with scrutiny of it. MPs are elected to elevate those furthest from power. They are the people I thought of when voting. My full speech: hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2025-0…
