As progressives, we are united in solidarity with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib.

Though we may be separated by an ocean, we are united in our desire for a world which opens its arms to everyone - without prejudice.

I had such a good time visiting Hillbrook Primary School for their Summer Fayre today.

It was great to see so many adults and children alike enjoying the activities, games, and even rides. As you can see, I certainly enjoyed myself.

Thank you so much to Debbie Hart for the kind invitation. Hope to see you all again in the new school year.

Today is historic: I am overjoyed to be taking part in the London Pride Parade with the FA. And it's their first time too.

This year also marks 50 years since the Stonewall Riots. As you may know, the riots in 1969 were a landmark moment in history, which helped spark the fight for gay rights around the world.

This is such a positive step for football; it sends such a wonderful message. Proud to be involved with Pride!

 
A group of us women MPs, journalists and politicos from across the political divide headed to Lyon, coming together for an an amazing cause: the pursuit of gender equality.

We played in 40 degree heat to break the world record for the biggest ever football match.

3,000 players, five whole days, and one goal - to prove that any girl can! Well, that and the world record...

I was contacted by concerned residents in their droves about the welfare of Nazanin and her husband, Richard Ratcliffe, following news of their ongoing hunger strike.

Today I met Richard on day 12 of his hunger strike. He is such a humble and gentle person, despite everything his family is going through. We must Free Nazanin.

At the Tooting Labour members' meeting tonight I was proud to announce that I wish to re-stand as the Labour MP for Tooting.

It has been an absolute privilege to represent the area where I grew up, and I'll stay for as long as Tooting wants me.

​PS - I support a People's Vote!

I'm working with a local resident on the issue of revenge porn.

When your personal photos and videos are stolen from your hacked iCloud account, these photos and videos could be uploaded to a commercialised porn site, without your consent, and that company can profit from your stolen images.

 The current law seems to be tougher on individuals than corporations - and it's time the porn industry get explicit consent before profiting from content.

I am taking a stand and am proud to be working with #NotYourPorn to try and get this loophole closed.

"I am heartbroken. Tooting is heartbroken.

To us, Cheyon Evans was a son, a brother, a friend - taken too soon. Taken through senseless violence which could have been avoided if we had adequate policing, proper youth provision and gave our young people a sense of hope."

Today I asked the Prime Minister, Teresa May, if she will use her remaining days in office to leave a legacy which will change the paths of our young people, or whether we can expect more of the same.

As you can probably tell, today I had a lot of fun judging the best annual dog show in town.

It is by far one of my favourite events of the year - and I must admit, getting to hang out with these cuddly pooches is a refreshing change to a day in Parliament.

Thank you to all those involved, and to Leonie Cooper for her skillful compering.

As you may know, the Dump the Scales campaign is the work of one of our very own Tooting residents, Hope Virgo.

Following Hope's experience of being turned away from services for not being "thin" enough, the campaign was born. But this didn't happen to just Hope; it happens to hundreds of people weekly across the NHS.

Over a million people in the UK have suffered from an eating disorder at some point in their life, but many are not properly diagnosed because they are told by GPs they are not under or overweight enough.

Today I signed the open letter urging the Government to revisit the issue and their approach to the management and treatment of eating disorders.
