Yesterday, Israel allowed only 5 aid trucks to enter Gaza. 5 trucks for over 2m people – more than Northern Ireland’s entire population. The weaponisation of food is morally reprehensible. We must impose an arms embargo and sanction the Israeli officials that are responsible. I am proud that our petition for a lift at Tooting Broadway Stn has been signed by over 1,300 people. Whether you're in a wheelchair, pushing a buggy or have lots of luggage, a lift would be helpful for all!

It makes absolute sense that we should work with our European allies with whom we have shared security, trade and economic interests. It is right for the Government to forge closer ties with our counterparts on the continent. Today, I was on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg to discuss the UK-EU Summit. Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. We must never forget the struggle that many in our society still face for acceptance, and continue to push for equality and rights for all.   I was proud to launch the APPG on Emergency Care in Parliament today.
With over 16,600 lives lost last year due to long A&E waits, we must ensure emergency care is at the front of Government plans to improve our NHS. I am pleased to be working with the Royal College of Emergency Medicine to demand change. I am proud to have signed a Labour Friends of Palestine and the Middle East joint letter, alongside many Labour colleagues calling for the Government to recognise Palestine. A sustainable peace can only be achieved through a two-state solution, with a free and independent Palestine and a secure Israel.
Really constructive conversations with Seb Dance, Deputy Mayor of London about building a lift at Tooting Broadway Station. We discussed complexities of the project and desire from the local community for step-free access.  Shame on those who stand by and allow the death of Palestinian children. If we don’t act now, this will be on us. Today I called on the U.K. Government to impose sanctions on Israeli officials and act immediately to end the bloodshed. Last week, I had the pleasure to join the London Air Ambulance team at the Royal London Hospital to learn about their innovative equipment that is driving up the survival odds of critically ill cardiac arrest patients. The team work tirelessly to save lives, day and night. |
