 It was incredible to watch the Lionesses bring home the Euros for a second successive tournament. It was amazing to see the excitement around the country for women’s sport and the celebrations following their success. Seeing the Lionesses conquer all gives children real inspiration to achieve their dreams!
It was a delight to join the Loose Women panel alongside the formidable Janet Street-Porter, Charlene White, Olivia Attwood and my friend Denise Welch for their Women’s Health Special today. We addressed some really key topics, including the importance of the HPV vaccine and smear testing, dementia and cancer. It is always a pleasure to join the show - many thanks for having me!  It was great to speak at the King's Fund Circles Series focusing on women in leadership, where I shared my experience as a women working in healthcare and politics. It's vital that we get more women in leadership roles across society.  As the MP for Tooting, the safety of our community is my top priority.

With the nights getting longer and recent rise in crime, some people feel uncomfortable walking in public alone. I’ve launched my Safe Space campaign, where local businesses can sign up to offer a place of safety.

In today’s Guardian, I reveal the scandal of new mothers being turned away from mental health services.
For some time, I’ve been concerned that new mothers are being left to suffer in silence. My figures show that last year, nearly 20,000 new mothers were turned away from mental health services. Maternal mental health services are being rationed. This is despite maternal illness costing the whole of society £8.1 billion a year. It is an absolute scandal. The 8,500 new staff Labour will recruit are vital to solving this crisis. Read the full article here
Tonight, I invited Wandsworth Police to join our community to discuss how they’re working with Wandsworth Council to tackle violence against women and girls.
Making our community safe is a key priority for me. My door is always open. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
 This week, we celebrated our fantastic women business owners in Tooting. Over the last two years, many women have felt a disproportionate economic hit. Women hold the key to supercharging our economy as we recover from the pandemic. Today I was delighted to welcome Anneliese Dodds MP to Tooting and meet with women business owners. I believe it is essential that we recognise the significant contribution women make and commit to tackling the challenges that they still face today. Also, we welcomed some of our community's many impressive business women and community leaders to Parliament. Tooting is home to so many - it's only right we back women in business. Lastly, a big thank you to Sir Keir Starmer MP for hosting.   Tooting Women’s Institute is looking for new members of all ages and backgrounds to join them in their monthly activities and events.
Meeting on the second Wednesday of each month, this wonderful organisation provides a place for members to learn new skills, meet others in the community, discuss topical issues, and share interests. Previous sessions have involved everything from career mentoring and coding, to craftivism and calligraphy, while a variety of smaller groups meet to engage in more niche interests, including a supper club, which visits a new restaurant in Tooting each month, a book club, and a craft club, to name a few.
