Honoured to speak at the Polish City Club reception last week. As the proud daughter of a Polish mum, I see every day the fantastic contribution of nearly 700,000 Poles who call the UK home, enriching our culture, public life, and local communities right across the country.

Winter is coming and flu can be serious. Vaccination is your best defence against severe illness and hospitalisation. Getting your jab is quick and safe. If eligible, you can book via the NHS App, the National Booking Service, or your local pharmacy.

Always great to catch up with the Homelessness Inclusion Team at St George’s. I’ve seen their vital work in A&E. They support around 1,000 people a year with their health and the practical help to get back on their feet. Their work saves lives and eases pressure on the NHS.

Busy day chairing the committee stage of the Sporting Events Bill in Parliament today. This legislation aims to cement the UK’s position as a world-leading host for major sporting events, bringing investment, opportunities, and inspiration to communities nationwide.

It's unacceptable that domestic abuse survivors, having fled unimaginable situations, are often rehoused in empty properties. They've left everything behind. We must do better. I support Furnishing Futures & End Furniture Poverty’s campaign for furnished tenancies.

Honoured to speak at the South East Coast EM conference last week. As an A&E doctor, I know firsthand the vital work our frontline NHS staff do. We must ensure they have all the support they need to deliver the exceptional care our communities rely on.

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay - a reminder of the importance of looking after our own mental wellbeing. One in four of us will face a mental health problem this year. Check in on someone today, and if you're struggling, Samaritans are there 24/7 on 116 123.

Three years on, my thoughts are with all those affected by the horrific October 7th terror attacks. I know many in our Jewish community will have been forever affected and my thoughts and prayers are with them all.

Throwback to Labour Conference earlier this week! It was fantastic to connect with so many passionate people and speak at events ranging from fighting violent crime to standing up for Palestinians.

Thrilled to be at London Labour Reception at conference yesterday! Connecting with passionate activists and fellow members reminds me why we do what we do. It's inspiring to see so many dedicated people united by our Labour values.

For too long, families have faced unimaginable grief after pregnancy loss, with too many facing no legal right to time off. From April, thanks to this Labour Govt, women and their partners will get two weeks bereavement leave. This is about compassion, and giving families the space to heal.

Today marks two years since a BBC documentary unmasked historic abuse at Harrods perpetrated by Mohamed Al-Fayed. Since then, those affects have been campaigning for justice. I am proud to stand with them and support their calls for accountability.

Visiting King's College Hospital, it's clear Redthread's youth workers in A&E are saving lives. As an A&E doctor, I see first-hand the devastating impact of violence. This vital work gives young people a lifeline and a chance for a brighter future.

Violence on our streets is a tragedy that tears lives apart. That's why I visited King's College Hospital to learn about Redthread's vital work and meet the team. Putting youth workers directly in A&E departments is saving lives.

A century ago, the Northern Line reached Balham & Tooting, transforming our community. It brought jobs, opportunity, and new families. Tooting has always thrived on movement – from market traders to doctors at St George's. Celebrating 100 years of connection!

A truly inspirational day joining Sagal Abdi-Wali at her campaign launch. From child refugee to standing up for the community she grew up in, her journey is a powerful reminder of what's possible when we champion potential. Holborn & St Pancras would be so lucky to have her.

Wishing a truly joyful and peaceful Rosh Hashanah to Jewish communities here locally and across the globe! May the New Year bring blessings of health, happiness, and sweetness to you and your loved ones. Shana Tova U’Metukah.

Fantastic to visit Clarissa's Campaign's vital heart screening event in Wandsworth this week. Early detection saves lives. My heart goes out to Hilary, who founded this charity after losing her daughter Clarissa at just 21. We must work to update NHS guidance so all young people can be screened.

Today, as we mark the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, my thoughts are with all those whose lives were forever changed by the horrific attacks. We remember the victims, honour the first responders, and stand in solidarity with all affected.

Today is Emergency Services Day, and my heart is full of gratitude. As an A&E doctor, I've stood shoulder-to-shoulder with our police, firefighters, ambulance staff, and so many more heroes. Your courage is truly humbling. Thank you for everything.

Illegal settlement expansion in the West Bank has one goal: to make a future two-state solution an impossibility. Today’s announcement upholds international law and stands in support of peace and justice.

The Tories threw the kitchen sink and more at the Trinity by-election yesterday. They even had Kemi Badenoch out knocking on doors but voters sent a clear message: they reject the Tory Council Tax hike. Shirin will be a dedicated voice, standing up for local residents.

Congratulations to Wandsworth’s newest councillor, Shirin Georgiani! Today voters sent a stark message - they have utterly rejected Wandsworth Tories Council Tax hike. Shirin will be a dedicated local Councillor who will stand up for the residents of Tooting Bec and Balham.

The Tories want to raise your Council Tax by 160%! Today, there is only one choice to stop them - Labour's Shirin Georgiani. If you live in Tooting Bec or Balham (Trinity), make sure to vote today to protect Wandsworth's low Council Tax.

Tomorrow, voters in Tooting Bec and Balham (Trinity) have a simple choice - a Tory candidate who backs cuts and Council Tax rises or Labour's Shirin Georgiani. If you live locally, make sure to get out and vote Labour tomorrow.

Jason Arday shadowed me a number of years back - he was quiet, thoughtful and respectful. The way he has been hounded to his death is shocking. Whatever the details of his past, he did not deserve this.

The theft of VW badges is causing real frustration and costing local people hundreds. This is a long-standing issue; customers shouldn't be left out of pocket while Volkswagen fails to address design flaws. I've written to Volkswagen calling on them to offer more assistance.

St George's Hospital will host a new Mental Health Emergency Department. Having specialist teams available means those in crisis get the rapid, expert care they desperately need, in the right environment. I know from my work on the frontline that this will make a real difference.
