Thank you to everyone who came to tonight’s open forum for a thought provoking and passionate discussion - the list of topics covered in the slides again proving Walthamstow has a lot on their mind!

There’s a lot going on - come and discuss it with me in person this Wednesday 22nd July at 7pm in a central Walthamstow venue. Email office @workingforwalthamstow.org.uk with your name and address to confirm you are a Walthamstow resident - under 18s welcome with an adult.

Kevin Keegan was a footballing icon for our generation - will never forget the night I tried to sign him for Walthamstow FC ! Thank you King Kev and sending love from all of us in the mighty stow to your friends and family.

I consistently voice concerns about the idea drilling rosebank would be good for either the climate or the cost of living crisis - in the coming days as this debate returns I will continue to be a voice for prioritising the transition to clean energy for the sake of our pockets and our planet.

Walthamstow. Time and time again we are there for each other - in the good times and bad. And always with cake! Thank you everyone who supported those affected by wood st fire - and thank you everyone who has organised all our street parties ( today was lovely in Bemsted Road!) #loveWalthamstow

The coffee shop in wood street library is so much more than a great place for a drink and bun. It’s the antidote to the hate- showing the reality of how so many are building new lives here in our communities that benefit us all.

Our next Walthamstow residents open forum is Wednesday 22nd July at 7pm -any local resident can join and raise any issue. Under 18s welcome with an adult -email my office to confirm your name and address and you will be sent venue details on the day. Look forward to hearing what you have to say!

If you work for accelerant insurance I need to speak to you urgently about your treatment of Walthamstow residents. Please call my office. Walthamstow please help share this request to make sure they see it and act.

Some are claiming we can’t clean up British politics by capping what individuals can donate to political parties because that would risk MP security - I spoke to The Newsagents about why both issues need addressing and the dangers of conflating them for our democracy.

As currently written, the asylum bill will solve few problems and likely create more - last night I spoke up in Parliament again to urge ministers not to make this mistake. I cannot support this bill as it stands if they do.

Will always defend right to organise as a human right, including right to collectively organise donations through a trade union. We must not let that established and regulated system be used to prevent us closing loophole that will exist if we only cap individual donations from overseas postcodes.

Generations of kids in Walthamstow have had the best start in life thanks to Maddy Auty - it was a privilege to help say thank you for her 26 years of teaching service at Stoneydown Park School as she retires this year.

If we want more disabled people to be able to work we must tackle the discrimination disabled people face finding work and in the workplace. Good to hear the minister set out recognition of this and the work being done - will continue to advocate for action to ensure talent is never overlooked.

No by election can hide the mess sorting out millionaires making of our politics their playground is causing - help close this loophole and ask your MP to co sign NC71 of the representation of the people bill to cap donations. Please share to spread the word!

Walthamstow the stalls at the Bakers Armshouses show its mango season in Pakistan - with multiple varieties available on sale and much competition about which one is best it’s well worth a visit to try the different types on offer. Thank you to Ahmed at Neelams for his explanation!

In ten days time with your help we can cap how much money anyone can personally give to a political cause and any chance millionaires can buy our politics. If you agree share this and ask your MP to co sign the amendment. It’s time we made sure it’s democracy not donations that define our future.

Given the understandable concerns about Palantir’s grip on the UK Government, its right any of those with business relationships to this firm are not involved in making decisions on whether to work with it. Full story about the permanent secretary at the health department in the Financial Times.
