What do you think the future of adult social care should look like? The Big Conversation on Care is now open, giving everyone across Dagenham and Rainham a chance to have their say on the future of adult social care. Details to get involved

For my Havering residents. I have contacted the senior police leadership team. In regard to the ongoing fires at Ingrebourne Hill. I know with Launders Lane you have enough to deal with. Please leave this for the police to investigate. I will let you know when I get feedback. Stay safe everyone.

Great to be at London Labour's Conference recently discussing outcomes for children in temporary accommodation. Housing underpins everything in life. As a member of @ta-appg.bsky.social I’m always working to increase the provision of council housing as a way to solve the housing crisis. 🏠

Met with @unitetheunion.bsky.social last week. Lots of concerns I have on driverless taxis. My constituents jobs for one ! Where is the public debate on AI?

Ministers urged to give TfL final say on driverless taxis as London rollout looms

Several firms, including Uber and Wayve, are seeking approval to transport passengers in automated vehicles in London as soon as this year

The clear commitment from the new Prime Minister to get to grips with the cost of living for families, provides welcome relief for Dagenham & Rainham. I’m also pleased with the relief to small businesses and pubs via real cuts to business rates.

Rapid action to help struggling families and boost high streets

Margaret Mullane MP has given strong support for the first decisions of the new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, to ease some of the cost of living burdens on struggling families and to provide much n…

Great to hear the legend Billy Hayes at the Dagenham and Rainham Labour Party meeting. A big hit with the local members. 🌹

Delighted to see the launch of the Queen’s Christmas Present as part of the #NationalYearOfReading2026. Helping children discover the joy of reading is something worth celebrating, especially through a free, nationwide campaign. @literacytrust.org.uk 👇

Great to be at the Eastbrook country park. CPR training available. Organised by Tanim. Lots of people utilising the park, cafe and open spaces.

Three weeks ago I was at Healthy Homes APPG's 10 year anniversary reception in Parliament. Housing underpins everything in life, and the provision of a good quality well maintained secure home you can afford to live in is a foundation for success. 🏡

Amanda Martin APPG Tradespeople. Pleasure to chair our first Tradespeople APPG Roundtable in Parliament to discuss how we can better support Britain's tradespeople. Huge thanks to everyone involved for pushing these issues to the forefront of policy!

Councillor Rubina Siddiqui. At the Dagenham and Rainham job fair a few weeks ago. Rubina is the cabinet member for inclusive economy and skills. Great turnout.

Great news for families in Dagenham and Rainham! Four local primary schools will offer free breakfast clubs, helping children get the best start to the school day while supporting working parents and saving families money. 🍎📚

More local schoolchildren to benefit from free breakfast clubs

Dagenham and Rainham MP, Margaret Mullane, has been informed by the Government that four Dagenham primary schools will receive funding to provide free breakfast clubs for students from this Septemb…

It’s time for my highlights of the week!👏😊

My article in the Summer 2026 @thefabians.bsky.social Review. I set out some of the barriers which hold back working class people from becoming MPs, and outline how Labour can empower more working-class people on a path to Parliament. 👇

Good to meet with the London Mayor Sadiq Khan last night. Lots discussed. Launders Lane, Queen Mary University work on Launders Lane, Beam Park train station, the Superloop bus update in Rainham and the Dagenham East step free access update. I will keep everyone posted as always.

Our great country 👇

Watching Laura Kuenssberg , and Robert Jenrick had said the Times newspaper, is a Labour supporting paper. 😂😂. No challenge !

Data centres are fast becoming the new landfill and can’t be the only offer for working class communities. My article in @LabourHome_ 👇

Margaret Mullane MP: Data centres are the new landfill — and places like Dagenham are once again paying the price

Great to visit Barking Market last week where children from Dagenham & Rainham schools were selling produce they had grown themselves as part of the @schoolfoodmatters.bsky.social young marketeers programme. Lots of buzz, and great to see. #FoodEducation is so important! 🌱🍎

I am so sad to hear Hollie Ridley will be resigning, Hollie was made in Dagenham. Has been an inspiration to so many in the Labour Party. A great friend to Dagenham and Rainham. Hollie understands working class communities. The need to deliver, lead by Hollie with driving on the Labour win in 2024.

Last week I held a parliamentary drop-in to raise awareness of Pica. This is just the start of my work on this, with many actions to come in support of families across Dagenham & Rainham and beyond. Thanks to the MPs who stopped by to hear from my constituents.

A couple of weeks ago @dailymail.co.uk asked for a comment on the ‘Rainham Volcano’ but only covered the interventions from a Tory MP and the Reform council. I guess my quote didn’t fit their narrative. Here’s the article (behind a paywall): dailymail.com/news/article... Here’s what I said. 👇

Settling down just had an ice cream and a cup of tea. Upstairs Downstairs on Netflix. How the Tories and Reform would have our lives planned out if in power.

So proud to be at the armed forces parade on Saturday. We owe our armed forces so much. I am pictured with Councillor Stanton from Beam Park Ward. The other photograph is Dave Ainsworth a veteran. Thank you from us all.

Last Tuesday I was at Dagenham Green, joined by the @ldnculture.bsky.social, as Peabody and The Hill Group unveiled two new art installations to commemorate the striking Ford women. The story behind “Dagenham Agate” is fascinating and I’d urge residents to pop down and learn more!

Given the focus that exists on curbing welfare spending as well as seeking ways to ease the cost of living, now is the time to look again at rent controls. My piece in @labourlist.bsky.social here:

'The case for capping rents' - LabourList

If we can deliver a seismic shift in numbers of affordable rented homes coupled with rent controls, we can finally address our housing needs.

Big step forward for young people in Dagenham and Rainham. New Mental Health Support Teams are being trained and will soon be working in our local schools – helping children get the support they need to stay well, stay in education, and thrive.

Mental health support for children

Margaret Mullane MP has welcomed action to improve the mental health and wellbeing of Dagenham and Rainham’s young people, with three new Mental Health Support Teams in training at NHS North East L…

Why would an offshore crypto CEO give Nigel Farage's Reform £25 million?

So proud, to attend the Armed Forces flag raising yesterday, at Havering town hall. To be able to thank the armed forces for all they have done, and continue to do for this country.
