Not going to lie, this brings back trauma. When my family first received a notice to be deported back to Cyprus, my mum would hide my brother and me at family friends' houses in fear that the UK border agency would come knocking on our door. Your dream was my nightmare.

It doesn't matter how much they follow me on my runs or my day-to-day movements; I am here to serve my community and make sure our children can grow up in a greener and cleaner world that we all deserve to share.

Yesterday, I was delighted to launch the UK’s first ever cargo bike hire scheme with local businesses and colleagues from neighbouring boroughs. The scheme is pioneered by @ZENCityfringe and is to reduce transport costs and emissions for our residents and businesses.

We are in the biggest crisis of our lifetime and our Prime Minister is nowhere to be seen. Please don’t ever forget that he missed FIVE cobra meetings at the height of the pandemic.

As of today, I have been a member of the Labour Party for 15 years - that’s more than half my life. I will never forget my first meeting: there were 4 people (including me), and we spent the first hour debating whether the meeting was quorate and the minutes of the last meeting.
