Rosena Allin-Khan Instagram – 2023 has been another incredibly busy year for me and my team. I’m so proud of the work we have done for the community in Tooting.
See some of the highlights of the year in my thread:
Photo 1: On behalf of @stgeorgeshospitalcharity, @fleur_anderson_ and I rode from London to Brighton to help raise funds for the Time to Change Appeal.
Together we raised over £3,000 to support their work.
Photo 2: This year, our incredible NHS turned 75. To celebrate, I joined my fantastic colleagues at St George’s Hospital. I know from my shifts in A&E how hard all its staff are working to keep it going, even in the hardest of times.
Photo 3: Universal free school meals are equalling the playing field for children in London.
I visited Earlsfield Primary School to see the rollout and show what Labour in power can do: ending inequality and helping every child get the best start in life.
Photo 4: At the start of the Ukraine war, Tooting residents opened up their hearts and homes to Ukrainian refugees.
When the Home Office were slow in reuniting Dmytro with his family, I stepped in to help.
Photo 5: As a proud trade unionist, I was honoured to be guest speaker at @unisontheunion’s annual conference.
Video 1: For months, I’ve been worried about staffing levels at Wandsworth Prison. I raised these with the Government last year, long before a prisoner escaped.
On the day of Daniel Khalife’s escape, the prison was 80 prison officers short.
Photo 6: Urgent action is needed to address the inequalities that impact too many people when detained under the Mental Health Act. That’s why I have been calling for reform of the Mental Health Act.
The Tories scrapped the plans.
Photo 7: Our local area is an incredibly vibrant place to live, but concerns have been raised with me about anti-social behaviour.
Following public meetings with the police, I am pleased that more police officers have been dedicated to Tooting.
Photo 8: As always, a lot of my work has been helping local residents address issues in the community. This year, I dealt with 13,000 cases.
Video 2: The violence in Israel and Gaza has been heartbreaking. I have repeatedly called for a ceasefire. | Posted on 01/Jan/2024 02:18:15
