Permit Problems

31/5/2019

I visited the West Bank and Jerusalem recently and spoke on BBC Radio 4 about the cruel and inhumane permit system which means children in hospital can't be accompanied by their parents.

This premature baby's mother had to return to Gaza after giving birth to triplets. Sadly, two of the babies died in hospital. Their parents were told over the phone.

Only this week was the mother issued a permit to collect her baby - months after she was ready to go home.

After a very busy surgery in Tooting, I stopped by the Trident Business Centre to meet these fantastic young entrepreneurs.

They are using their half term to set up and run their own cafe for a week. The service was great and the cakes delicious.

​Quite inspirational from our young Tooting-ites!

European Election Results

The results are in, and tonight for Labour - especially in Wandsworth - it has not been anywhere near good enough.

I support a People's Vote.

Labour should be an explicitly pro-remain party.

If you live in Tooting, I want to hear from you. Tell me why you voted the way you did: drrosena.co.uk/euelections

Today I was out and about in Tooting Market talking to the local small business owners who keep the area so vibrant.

It was great to welcome our new zero-waste shop, BYO London, to our community. Simply bring your own containers, fill them with everything from chocolate to cooking oil, and rest easy knowing you've contributed to minimising food waste - and reducing the plastic waste which our supermarket produce comes covered in.

BYO is a wonderful initiative and a great addition to Tooting Market. Be back soon to load up with goodies!

European Elections

Ahead of the European Elections, today the Tooting Labour Family were out on the campaign trail with pro-EU, pro-PV supporter Paul Mason.

Being pro-EU and a staunch supporter of a public vote myself, it was great to hear voters are sticking with Labour.

I'm confident that Tooting will reject Farage's blank manifesto.

Tonight was a fantastic evening at #GeorgesHeroAwards celebrating the hardworking and dedicated staff at St George's Hospital.

I was proud to present the Rising Star Award to Stacey Lane.

​We can all probably agree the excellent staff are the glue holding the NHS together!

Fighting for Sarah

​Today I raised the case of Sarah, a Tooting resident, in Parliament.

Sarah has cerebral palsy and relies on her specialist wheelchair. But it's broken. And the DWP want her to pay £17k to replace it. This is really unfair.

I will be working with the Minister and Sarah to try and sort this out, for her and others. Watch the video here: ​https://twitter.com/DrRosena/status/1127943884968005632

It was great to be at Smallwood School this morning to see the excellent work they are doing to improve children's reading. I got to revisit some of my favourite childhood books, plus listen to the children read (and talk excitedly about) their favourites.

It's great to hear the plans for their brand new library, and I can't wait to visit then.

In other news, there's also talk of a cheerleading workshop - though thankfully I wasn't asked to join in with that.

Tonight I was privileged to speak at the Show Racism the Red Card City Hall Education Showcase.

As Shadow Sports Minister I have raised this issue in Parliament, pushed for debate, and worked tirelessly (alongside great organisations) to raise awareness of.

​Work to combat racism in sport is more important than ever, and I will continue to use my voice to combat this issue.

Today I was delighted to be part of the launch of Balham Mosque and Tooting Islamic Centre's Eco Ramadan with Islamic Relief UK. Within minutes of arriving, I was let loose on the bike, pedalled furiously, and whipped up the most delicious smoothie.

Only in Tooting can we be this efficient!
