    14.1 million people in the UK are experiencing food insecurity. Our message to the new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, is simple: Food is a human right. It’s time to protect it in UK law.

    Thames Water leaked the equivalent of 227 Olympic swimming pools a day last year. That's far more than any hosepipe ban will save. It's time to put investment before profit and return water companies to public ownership.

    Greenlighting new oil & gas will do real damage to the climate, with little impact on UK bills. That's why I've consistently opposed Rosebank and signed the Stop Rosebank MP Pledge. I'll continue to push the government to do all it can tackle the climate emergency.
    Letter on House of Commons headed paper from Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP, dated 20 July 2026, addressed to Lambeth Green Group at Lambeth Council. The letter thanks the group for writing about the Rosebank Oil Field and argues that climate change is an urgent crisis requiring immediate action. It states that expanding North Sea oil drilling would have little impact on UK energy prices but would harm climate goals. The MP expresses support for opposing the Rosebank development, references parliamentary pledges and motions calling for investment in clean energy, and advocates increased funding for solar, wind and energy storage. The letter closes with a commitment to pressing the government to address the climate emergency and is signed β€œBell Ribeiro-Addy MP, Labour Member of Parliament for Clapham & Brixton Hill.”
    The full letter is below:

β€œDear Helen Hayes, Steve Reed, Bell Ribeiro-Addy and Florence Eshalomi.

Reports are circulating new Labour Prime Minister Andy Burnham is ready to green light new oil and gas fields in the North Sea. We reaffirm our strong commitment to a healthy and sustainable future for the residents of Lambeth. We call on you as our members of Parliament to oppose the approval of any further fossil fuel extraction in the UK and its waters, clearly, publicly and in action, in line with your manifesto promise that no new fossil fuel licenses would be issued, and on which your voters based their choices.
    Everyone who lives, works and studies in Lambeth is facing unprecedented temperatures this summer with impacts on health, education, work and transport. Those who are less well off often feel the consequences most severely. Rosebank would be an unmitigated climate disaster for the people of Lambeth, the UK, and worldwide. It would produce more CO2 than the 73 lowest-emitting countries do in a year, and would destroy UK climate goals. The Met Office has reported that 2700 people have lost their lives to extreme heat already this year.

Rosebank’s vast oil profits would help fund illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine, through a parent company Delek, which has been cited by the UN to have β€œraised particular human rights concerns” in the West Bank.
    Rosebank is a bad deal for the UK. The public would shoulder over 80% of the costs – and the vast majority of risk – from developing Rosebank, which is 80% owned by Norwegian state-owned oil giant, Equinor. The oil would overwhelmingly be for export for refineries in Europe and would do nothing to strengthen the UK’s energy supplies or resilience to shocks. This could result in a net loss of hundreds of millions of pounds to the UK Treasury and would undermine our energy security.

Exaggerated claims of new job creation have been debunked. Only 27 new full time jobs would be created by Jackdaw, given it will be unstaffed for most of its operating life and most construction has already taken place. This is not the opportunity it looks to be.
    To permanently lower bills, have a reliable energy supply and avert climate collapse we need to move faster towards renewable energy and lower emissions. We need to wind down oil and gas ensuring a just transition for existing workers to sustainable jobs in clean energy sectors. The energy crisis, the climate crisis and increasing global tensions are caused by our reliance on expensive and finite fossil fuels.

As elected members of Parliament for Lambeth, we ask you to make clear your opposition to further fossil fuel extraction, representing all the people across this borough who share these immediate concerns.”

    Rosebank requires the public to shoulder 80% of the cost while the profits flow overseas. Meanwhile, Lambeth residents are already living through record-breaking heat. We’re calling on Helen Hayes, Steve Reed, Bell Ribeiro-Addy and Florence Eshalomi to keep their promise.

    Residents will be understandably distressed by this weekend’s stabbing in Balham, which has left a man in critical condition. Full credit to the brave individuals who chased the armed attacker away.

    The investigation is ongoing, with no arrests made yet. There will be an increased police presence in the area over the coming days. Anyone with information or footage relating to the incident is urged to contact police on 101, quoting CAD 6708/18Jul.

    It is 2 years since the landmark ICJ ruling on Israel’s illegal occupation of Gaza and the West Bank. Earlier this week, I signed a letter urging the Government to uphold its legal obligations under this ruling by putting active pressure on Israel to end its presence in the OPT.
    House of Commons letter to the Foreign Secretary dated 14 July 2026 urging the UK Government to act in line with the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion on Israel, calling for sanctions and measures over Israel’s presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
    Open letter from UK MPs urging the Government to act on the ICJ advisory opinion: ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements, impose targeted sanctions and travel bans, suspend the UK–Israel trade agreement, end arms transfers to Israel, followed by a list of MP signatories.

    Without concrete pressure from the international community, this activity will only continue. The government must ban trade with illegal settlements, impose targeted sanctions, end arms transfers and suspend the UK-Israel trade agreement.

    Great to see the Buy Back Brixton campaign covered in the Guardian. In just days, we should know whether the bid to take Brixton Market into community ownership has been successful. Whatever happens, the fight for our market’s future continues ✊🏾

    People who are pushing offshore detention and deportation as policy solutions are not being honest about the financial costs, the human consequences, or the way these things violate international law.

    Glad to support @We_OwnIt's photocall in Parliament this week, calling on the government to reject the proposed rescue deal for Thames Water. It's time to take water companies back into public ownership and end their rampant mismanagement of one of our most essential resources.

    Citizenship deprivation risks creating second-class citizens while having little real impact on public safety. If Black, Asian and migrant-heritage citizens can have rights stripped, the issue is not security, it is who the Government considers fully British.
