Crime Walkabout

/in , , , /by

Following concern from many constituents, I recently wrote to the Council and the Borough Commander about community safety in Enfield.

Last Friday, I organised for the Leader of Enfield Council, Cllr Ergin Erbil, and Cllr Doug Taylor to join me on a walkabout of Palmers Green with the police.

We spoke to local residents about their concerns and looked at what preventative measures can be put in place to deter drug-dealing, ASB, shoplifting, and fly-tipping.

Official Development Assistance Debate

/in , /by

Today, I spoke in Edward Morello MP’s debate titled ‘Planned reductions in Official Development Assistance on international development.’ As the Chair of the APPG for Global Education, I will continue to champion the transformative power of ODA for the education of children worldwide.

We must continue to fund the life-changing work carried out by the Global Partnership for Education and Education Cannot Wait, along with many more fantastic organisations.

I look forward to seeing the Government restore spending 0.7% of GNI on ODA as soon as the economy allows.

We cannot overlook the power of education. Listen to my speech below.

As part of UN80 celebrations, it was great to attend the unveiling of the newly restored birdbath in Broomfield Park’s Garden of Remembrance.

The Enfield and the Barnet’s United Nations Association have worked hard to restore the birdbath, first given to the park by the League of Nations!

RoadPeace Event

It was a pleasure to catch up with my constituent, Abi, in Parliament today with RoadPeace.

Since her fiancé, Mithun, was tragically killed in a road crash last year, Abi has been tirelessly campaigning for improved road safety on The Roundway and in Southgate and Wood Green.

I am proud to support the fantastic work that Abi has been doing, and it is an honour to be featured in RoadPeace’s new guide for MPs on helping constituents after road death or serious injury.

Well done Abi.

Teachers in Emergencies

/in , , , /by

To mark World Teachers Day 2025, it was a pleasure to chair a roundtable on Teachers in Emergencies organised by the National Education Union and the APPG on Global Education, with powerful voice from Palestine and Ukraine.

It was great to hear from Saed Erziqat from the General Union of Palestinian Teachers, along with Olga Chabaniuk and Kateryna Maliuta from the Trade Union of Education and Science Workers of Ukraine.

We must ensure the protection of teachers in conflict zones and continue to champion the vital role UK aid plays in global education.

It was wonderful to visit West Grove Primary School in Southgate this morning.

I received a tour of the primary school and met some fantastic pupils, and it is always a pleasure to talk to young people about their experience at school.

It was great to talk to the children about my work as an MP and how Parliament works, as well as the important stuff, our favourite food!

Haringey Rough Sleeping Summit

Today, it was my pleasure to attend the Haringey Rough Sleeping Summit.

We must continue to listen to those directly affected by this issue, as well as housing and rough sleeping specialists, on what more can be done.

With panels on Women’s Homelessness and Sex Working, Contextualizing Homelessness, NRPF, Young People, and LGBTQ+ experiences, it was great to learn more about these issues.

Thank you to Haringey Council for organising this event and bringing us together for these discussions.
