Rishi Sunak has just called a General Election. After 14 years of Conservative chaos, it’s time for a change.
I was born and raised here and now I want to serve Finchley and Golders Green as your MP.
Vote Labour on 4th July 🌹

Sadiq Khan is a mensch. Heading straight to Golders Green from conference to reassure Jewish Londoners. His leadership over the last few days has been much needed and appreciated.
Good to spend this evening here in Golders Green - including breaking bread with the Jewish community here at Darna.
The last few days have been deeply distressing - and my prayers are with everyone who has been affected.
It's so important Londoners come together and unite.

I regularly eat at Pita restaurant a place which residents, Jewish and non Jewish, alike enjoy.
This criminal damage and the targeting of British Jews is truly appalling. There is no place for this in our close knit and diverse corner of North London. This will not stand.
A Kosher restaurant in Golders Green, north London, vandalised and a bridge metres away branded with ‘Free Palestine’.
As in previous conflicts involving Israel, British Jews are being targeted amid a rise in antisemitic attacks

I can’t believe this on the customs union vote. The opposition had a huge chance to defeat the govt and these MPs scuppered it. Fuming right now.
John Mann, Frank Field, Kate Hoey and Graham Stringer have voted with the Tories to save Theresa May's shambolic government and ensure a destructive Tory Brexit, or possibly a no deal calamity.
They should all be kicked out of the Labour Party.

Over 13 years, the Tories have failed to fix Britain's housing crisis.

The shame of this. How Suella Braverman can continue in her role as AG is anyones guess. The ECHR was drafted by British lawyers and protects universal rights. Only Russia and Belarus are not part of the European human rights system. That tells you everything you need to know.
An shameful statement, and also Orwellian in its reversal of basic facts. The ECHR has done far more to protect the victims of trafficking, and refugees, than that cruel Rwanda policy.

Many ppl don't realise how much worse things have got in the NHS in the last 13 years. When Labour left power we had a first class health service. Look at the state it finds itself in under this Govt.
The NHS was highly rated in 2009, with high satisfaction levels, and relatively small numbers waiting for treatment. It has got steadily worse since 2010. It needs more money AND action on the social determinants of health.

Wonderful to welcome
@DavidLammy
MP to Finchley and my home community
@NNLS_Masorti
tonight.
David spoke brilliantly about being a North Londoner, his belief in multiculturalism, his loathing of populism and campaigning to bring back night schools. Thank you for being with us

The spiralling cost of childcare and the impact it is having on the life chances of mainly young women should be a key fault line at the next election. Why not treat childcare like any other public service?
@PregnantScrewed
NEW: For the first time in decades, the number of young women not working to look after family is starting to rise
As 1/3 of women barely break even after returning to work, Britain's childcare costs are pushing women out of work

Taking a break from the news for a mo, I’m on route to
@LabourParty
conference. Like Glasto for political junkies minus the camping!
Our party is bursting with ideas and optimism. I can’t wait to get Keir Starmer elected as PM
See some of you there!
