Good to join @colourfulradio & @BrixtonProject this morning in Brixton for #WindrushDay celebrations & to speak about why as we celebrate the immense contribution of the Windrush Generation, we continue to call for justice #WeAreHere
The Windrush generation helped build Britain.
But the Tories' hostile environment left many homeless, jobless and without healthcare. Victims are still waiting for the justice and compensation they deserve.
Windrush descendent @DavidLammy tells their story. #WindrushDay
A brilliant evening for @RefugeeWeek organised by @LambethCitizens & @HHWR_ with organisations who welcome & support refugees who’ve fled to safety here
I’m so proud of our communities & really glad that Lambeth will now join Southwark as a Borough of Sanctuary #RefugeesWelcome
On the eve of #WindrushDay it was fantastic to attend the launch of ‘HOME: Remembering the Windrush Generation’ at @bcaheritage curated by @TonyFairweathe3 who has recreated rooms from the homes of Windrush pioneers. It’s really moving - visit if you can!
TONIGHT 7PM with @helenhayes_ @LambethCitizens @lambeth_council @SLRAcharity @hernehillparish @KCLWP

Can any @DaWNLabour people identify those walking with the Dulwich Labour banner here?
@helenhayes_ One for you, from here:

Come to the Upper Norwood Library (upstairs) to meet us and loads more volunteer groups.
The park, the dinosaurs, the park bathers, the Community Web, the Museum, Rockmounters and much much more...
Now until 4pm!!
Marching today with @DaWNLabour members @The_TUC for all my constituents feeling the unbearable pressure of the cost of living crisis & the Tories’ failure of our public services
Boris Johnson is running the UK into the ground & it’s time for change #DemandBetter #JoinAUnion
Boris Johnson has lost not one but two ethics advisers & his anti-corruption adviser. His government is rotten to its core and utterly corrosive to our politics & democracy. Watch the Minister's response when I raised this with him today #JohnsonResign #StopTheRot #Geidtgate
Thinking of Jo on the 6th anniversary of her murder
We were the same age, elected the same day
Jo was a lovely friend to me & a brilliant MP
She will always be missed & remembered
Her powerful legacy #MoreInCommon lives on
Love to @kimleadbeater @MrBrendanCox & family today
This is someone trying to steal my bike with a power tool in Herne Hill yesterday evening
Grateful to @margynewens for the photo & to staff at Peachy Goat who twice deterred him from finishing the task
Bike owners please be vigilant. Please do get in touch if you have any info
Anyone in Dulwich have a spare hosepipe to help this community garden? 👇 https://twitter.com/LoughboroughPrk/status/1536705025719820288
Do you know of a spare hosepipe that could be donated to Loughborough Park to help water our new food forest?
(not sure our current waterers are equipped for the coming heatwave!)
Please RT
Massive relief that tonight's planned flight to Rwanda will not be taking off.
The government’s continued pursuit of it’s cruel, inhumane & clearly unworkable Rwanda policy is utterly shameful. Boris Johnson & Priti Patel lack all decency & compassion. They are diminishing the UK’s standing in the world #StopRwandaFlight
Breaking: European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg grants rule 39 request to stop the flight to Rwanda from leaving. Basis: real risk of inhuman and degrading treatment (Art. 3 ECHR). Please share - government must comply.
It was an incredibly powerful and moving service https://twitter.com/helenhayes_/status/1536631487503777793
We remember the 72 who died, all who grieve, all whose lives were changed forever by the trauma of the fire & all who still wait for justice
A privilege to read the name, age & floor of each victim at a service of remembrance & solidarity last night at @allsaints_org #Grenfell
Cuts to bus routes hit hardest those who can least afford it. My, @helenhayes_ and @coyleneil’s letter to Transport Sec @grantshapps protesting Govt failure to fund @TfL. This is not levelling up. 👇 https://twitter.com/HarrietHarman/status/1531970116862234629
25% of proposed bus cuts are in @lb_southwark. Tube-less Camb & P’ham needs more transport links. Not less! @MayorofLondon @SouthwarkLabour @transportgovuk @grantshapps https://twitter.com/diamondgeezer/status/1531905424009711616
Can you spare 2 hrs on Thur 30 June, Fri 1 July or Sat 2 July to collect food for local people in crisis?
We need volunteers to help with our collections at Tesco stores in #Streatham & #Brixton.
Our supplies are low & this would help us enormously

Watch our Eucharist of Remembrance and Solidarity led by @BishopSouthwark using the link below. Last night @helenhayes_ read the names of the 72 people who lost their lives in the fire. 💚💚💚 We continue to pray for justice. 🙏

Very sad to learn of the passing of Norma Gibbes
This was the last time I saw Norma at the African & Caribbean War Memorial on Remembrance Day 2021
Norma was a headteacher, councillor & Chair of Governors @KingsdaleFS
She fought tirelessly for equality & will be much missed
We are proud to have reached 200+ #BeaconSchool & alumni in England, with 23 schools in our new 2022-23 cohort.
Today we congratulate & welcome @CharterEast. We can't wait to partner with you to enrich quality provision for & experience of Holocaust T&L. RT @helenhayes_
Good to meet unpaid carers in Parliament last week during #CarersWeek hosted by @CarersTrust
4.2 million UK residents are carers & they save the government £132 billion a year
Carers need more support & recognition - their love & sense of duty is too often taken for granted
Thanks @helenhayes_ for coming to the final of the @ClubBrixton dominoes tournament, where the local PCN team have been doing BP checks in collaboration with @BlackThrive
All part of narrowing the CVD prevention inequality gap

Fantastic Dominoes Tournament at Lambeth Town Hall organised by @ClubBrixton in partnership with @NHSEngland & @BlackThrive with blood pressure checks on hand
Undiagnosed hypertension can kill if untreated & collaborations like this are vital for reducing health inequalities

Cruel, inhumane, unworkable & unaffordable. All strength to those challenging the Home Secretary’s appalling Rwanda policy in the courts
Whatever the outcome, this policy is a terrible stain on this government’s already shameful record https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-61758828
This was great fun, and inspiring to see the innovative work that @LEYFonline are doing with bikes in nurseries as part of a really high quality early years education #EarlyYears
Last month we hosted an exclusive launch of the newly refurbished Deanery Road Nursery & our research on the role of bikes in the early years. Here's a short video showing you our launch: https://bit.ly/3xCFj4c @Bikeworksuk @willnorman @helenhayes_ @JuneOSullivan
Cosham’s Labour councillor Asghar Shah welcomed not one, but two shadow ministers to the ward today! @helenhayes_ and @stephenmorganmp to talk about issues children and families face in the area
Hoping for a good crowd at our concert on Saturday raising funds for refugee charities, with some excellent music on offer as well.
A short thread 🧵
The reports of abuse & safeguarding failures at Calcot children’s homes are horrific
The first priority must be urgent action to safeguard the children in the care of Calcot at the schools & children’s homes they run https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-61709572
Inspiring to meet foster carers in Portsmouth who are working together as a #MockingbirdConstellation to replicate extended family & support each other as they care for vulnerable children
It’s clear Mockingbird makes a big difference to recruitment & retention of foster carers
We are recruiting a #playgroundmanager for @GroveAdventure, a magical playground in #LoughboroughJunction which makes a huge difference to the lives of local children. Click here https://loughboroughjunction.org/grove-adventure-playground-is-recruiting-a-playground-manager Please spread the message @londonplay @IslingtonPlay @StreathamSYCT

Under the Tories the number of women exiting the workforce is rising for the first time in decades
Spiralling childcare costs are pricing women out of work
I asked the Minister for Women & Equalities when the Government will stop failing women & families @PregnantScrewed >>
Shocked to hear of the bus crash on Grove Vale today. Thinking of the injured passengers and everyone who witnessed such a distressing incident. Hoping everyone makes a full and swift recovery #EastDulwich https://www.londonworld.com/news/watch-shocking-aftermath-bus-smashes-tipper-truck-east-dulwich-two-injured-3724377
On Monday 13 June @BishopSouthwark will celebrate a Eucharist of Remembrance & Solidarity at @allsaints_org to mark the 5th anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire.
The names of the 72 who died will be read in an Act of Remembrance to coincide with the time of the first 999 call.
Good morning Brixton.we have these and more books on our @brixton.village shelf on 4th avenue available FREE. come see us we are in Brixton village.see our Instagram @bookstopbrixton for full listing.@BrixtonBlog @BrixtonBID @Scarlett4C @lambeth_council @helenhayes_
The Conservatives are failing our children.
Exams chaos
Failure to deliver free school meals
A disastrous tutoring programme
And students facing exams without support to recover lost learning.
But the Education Secretary wouldn't even turn up.
Common pipistrelle species champion @helenhayes_ volunteering in a local park and helping to plant a food forest. We hope bats are flying about there too.

And thanks to @helenhayes_ who proved to be a dab hand with a trowel!
Great to see our Dulwich and West Norwood MP @helenhayes_ on the front bench this afternoon!
And thanks to @helenhayes_ who proved to be a dab hand with a trowel!
Funding has been awarded for the Norwood Park playground. Please do put forward your ideas and hopes for potential new equipment, facilities and uses of the space.
Shocking that 59% of Tory MPs do not believe that honesty or integrity matter in politics, public life or at Number 10
I hope they’ve all been honest & transparent with their constituents about that
Johnson survived the vote but he remains a total disgrace #OnlyAMatterOfTime
Conservative MPs turning up to work today have one job
Remove the contemptible liar and charlatan from the top of our government #StopTheRot
To round off a really wonderful weekend across Dulwich & West Norwood, thank you @ketracommunity for a fantastic #PlatinumJubilee party, with a starring role for @magdakritzbart’s Queen & Corgi cake
Special thanks to the fabulous Ecuadorean dancers for allowing me to join in!
Great to see Helen Simmons, the new CEO of @StChrisHospice raising funds for our amazing local hospice at the Woodwarde Road #PlatinumJubilee celebration
Thank you Lancaster Avenue Residents’ Association for inviting me & @Cavanaghj to join your #PlatinumJubilee party (& to @RosemeadPrep for allowing it to happen on your playground)
So lovely to see everyone coming together to enjoy the celebrations & great music from Harry!
Thank you to the residents of Dulwich Wood Park @MaypoleMiss & @brazenprods for inviting me to join your #PlatinumJubilee celebration. Lovely to see Annette Crosbie
Congratulations @magdakritzbart on the most amazing cake! #community #maypoledancing
