David Pinto-Duschinsky MP

Labour MP for Hendon. DWP Select Committee. Long career in gov’t and business. Lucky husband. Proud dad. Ever-hopeful Arsenal fan.

I’m delighted that Grahame Park in Colindale will benefit from the Met Police’s Safer Streets Summer Initiative, backed by Labour-led City Hall. Grahame Park residents will see more police on patrol, and tougher action on thefts, burglary, knife crime and antisocial behaviour.

One year ago today, the country elected Labour to deliver change. Fixing the foundations. Building a fairer country. Delivering national renewal. That work of change has begun. Much more work still to do, but I'm deeply proud of what we've achieved so far.

BREAKING: 570,000 more families across London will receive £150m off their energy bills next winter, including thousands in Hendon. Labour is extending the Warm Home Discount to protect more low income households and pensioners across the country. Putting money back in your pocket.

This Labour Government will end the feudal leasehold system for good by banning new leasehold flats. But what about existing leaseholders? As we transition to a commonhold future, Labour will strengthen the safeguards in place to protect you and offer a path for conversion to commonhold 👇

The Conservatives let fraud and serious economic crime spiral hopelessly out of control. This Labour government is taking action. But we can’t do it alone. Major tech companies have let their online platforms become rife with fraud - and millions of people are paying the price 👇

The Conservatives failed to maintain flood defences, despite the risk of flood damage continuing to rise. Thankfully, Colindale and Burnt Oak will benefit from Labour’s investment in new defences. Another mess the last government left for Labour to clean up through our Plan for Change.

Labour's £70m investment in new radiotherapy machines at hospitals including the Royal Free means faster cancer care for our community. The new technology will cut waiting times and deliver better outcomes for patients in Hendon. This is Labour's Plan for Change in action.

The previous Conservative Government allowed fly tipping and litter on our streets to soar. Labour is giving councils the power to seize and crush fly-tipping vehicles to clean up Hendon. Here’s a message from Labour’s Environment Secretary Steve Reed 👇🏼

Leaseholders across the country are getting a raw deal. Today I met with the CEOs of Rendall and Rittner, who manage Colindale Gardens, to raise residents’ concerns about service charges, service quality and communication directly with them and hold them to account.

Leaseholders are being ripped off by managing agents charging excessive fees. This Government will end the feudal leasehold system for good. While those reforms go through Parliament, Labour MPs will hold managing agents to account to lower their unfair and unaffordable service charges.

The first night of Passover is this Saturday, but I know that for many households in Hendon and across the UK, preparation is already well underway. As we get ready for our first Seder I want to wish all those who celebrate a very happy Passover, from my family to yours.

14 years of Conservative Government left Edgware High Street in a terrible state. I have lobbied BT to remove two phone boxes which had become a magnet for vandalism and litter. I'll continue to work hard to revitalise Edgware High Street for residents, shoppers and businesses.

A privilege to pay tribute to the work done by the Royal British Legion in Parliament. To RBL volunteers in Hendon, including the brilliant Edgware branch, who embody selflessness and duty, and for your tireless work all year round to support our servicemen and women - thank you.

Diagnosis with a comparatively rarer form of cancer can leave patients with a disproportionately lower chance of making a full recovery. We must ensure those suffering from rare and less common forms of cancer, and those yet to be diagnosed, have as much cause for hope as possible.

Following our meeting with leasehold managing agent RMG, 30 MPs have signed our letter setting out steps to delivering better service and more transparency with residents. You can read the commitments RMG have agreed to here. We will continue to hold them to account on behalf of our constituents.

I've just co-chaired a meeting with RMG, one of the country's largest leasehold managing agents. Residents like the ones I've met in Beaufort Park in Colindale are paying too much for a poor standard of service. We're making sure that changes.

Great to meet this morning with Liz Sykes from the Mill Hill and Burnt Oak Good Neighbour Scheme to learn more about the excellent work they do supporting our senior citizens. Thank you for your invaluable work-it makes such a difference in our community.

As Ramadan begins, I want to wish all those who celebrate Ramadan Kareem. Each year, Ramadan reminds of what matters most to all of us. Family. Compassion. Charity. Community. I wish you and your family a blessed and peaceful Ramadan. Ramadan Mubarak.

"Leaseholders deserve a fair deal and to be treated with respect. They deserve managing agents who are responsive, professional, and who have their best interests at heart." Myself and @rachelblakemp.bsky.social on what we're doing to help leasehold residents 👉 politicshome.com/thehouse/art...

We want action now against the rotten leasehold system

When Susan* bought a flat in Colindale, North London, it was the realisation of a lifelong dream to own a place of her own. But that dream quickly ...
