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 @weownit.org.uk'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.

MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy is smiling holding a sign that reads "Clapham & Brixton Hill says NO! to Thames Water creditors" standing in front of wooden doors.

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.

Devastating result last night, not helped by the defensive tactics! But we can all be proud of the effort, determination, and spirit shown by these England players throughout the tournament. The hurt continues but so does the hope!

Hose pipe bans seem a bit redundant when AI data centres are guzzling 11-19 million litres of water every day. In a Westminster Hall debate this week, I called for action to address the drought risk posed by their excessive water usage during periods of extreme heat.

The UK child citizenship fee remains one of the highest in Europe. Many kids with the right to citizenship miss out because their families cannot afford it. This week was another missed opportunity for the government to fix this.

I voted against the Immigration & Asylum Bill last night. Forcing asylum seekers to pay £10,000 for safety and shelter is punitive. Asylum is a human right protected by law, not a privilege with a price tag. The Government is heading down the same failed path as the last Tory administration.

Lovely to be at the Larkhall Park community jamboree this weekend for an afternoon of community, connection and good times. Thank you to everyone involved in putting it on!

MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy is wearing a white England football shirt and sunglasses stands beside a large poster advertising the **Larkhall Park Community Jamboree**. The colourful event poster, attached to railings outside the park, promotes a free family event on **Saturday 11 July 2026, 12–6pm**, featuring sports and races, arts and crafts, free snacks, wellbeing activities, little ones’ play, and a children’s colouring competition. Trees and park railings are visible in the background on a sunny day.

Heading out for the evening shift in Clapham Park 🌹 Time is running out to vote in today's byelection ⌛ Polling stations close at 10pm 🗳️ Make sure you have your say ✅

Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP@bellribeiroaddy· Jul 9

Today's byelection is really hotting up ☀️ Good to be out in the sun reminding Clapham Park residents to vote for Louie Somerville-Sutherland. We know this one is going to be close. If you live in Clapham Park, make sure you brave the heat today to have your say 🌹

Everyone's still talking about the big by-election. Not Clacton... Clapham Park! Today’s election may not involve a bin but it does decide who's in charge of collecting yours. Polling stations are open now until 10pm. Vote local. Vote Louie. Vote Labour 🌹

Standing in solidarity with my friend Jason Jones tonight as the Privy Council heard his case seeking to overturn homophobic laws in Trinidad. If successful, this case could help drive the repeal of colonial laws criminalising same sex relationships across the Commonwealth 🏳️‍🌈

I've written to the government asking for clarity on its Palestine Action ban, which has now seen thousands of protesters arrested for holding signs opposing it. At present, it is unclear if MPs who opposed proscription at the time can even explain this to our constituents.

Letter on House of Commons stationery from Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP to the Home Secretary, dated 3 July 2026, requesting clear written guidance for MPs on lawful communication with constituents regarding the proscription of Palestine Action and protest rights.

While Westminster pundits obsess over Clacton, the real byelection buzz is happening in Clapham Park this Thursday! We know it's going to be close. Last time, our Labour candidate missed out by just 37 votes. Don't forget to have your say 🗳️🌹

A large group of Labour campaigners stand outside The Hand in Hand pub on New Park Road with Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP in the middle next to byelection candidate, Louie Somerville-Sutherland. Several people hold bright yellow signs reading “Vote Local, Vote Louie, Vote Labour” and others hold campaign leaflets. The pub's dark blue frontage and large sign are visible behind the group, with St Andrew's crosses displayed in the windows. The photo was taken on a sunny day on the pavement outside the pub.

For too many people, leasehold has become the ultimate con. In a debate on the issue this week, I called for new legislation to simplify the system and make it fairer and more transparent, especially for housing association residents.

One week to go until the Clapham Park byelection! Good to be out in Clapham Park with our Clapham & Brixton Hill Labour team campaigning for Louie Somerville-Sutherland ahead of next Thursday 🌹

In a recent Westminster Hall Debate on the role of big tech in our society, I raised concerns about our public services' growing dependency on US spy tech firm, Palantir, including in our health service. I echoed calls to terminate its NHS contract.

I raised a point of order about the Palestine Action ban this week. With proscription clearly having a chilling effect on free speech, I asked the government to clarify what falls in the scope of the ban. This is something they have been unable/unwilling to do so far.

Last weekend saw the long-awaited return of the Abbeville Fete and it didn’t disappoint! There were dozens of stalls, an impressive selection of local food and drink and a variety of entertainment options for the whole family. Fantastic effort from all involved!

Four people, including MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy, stand close together posing for a photo on a busy street during a market or festival. Stalls with striped canopies line both sides of the street, and a crowd of visitors walks through the scene. Behind the group, there are brick buildings with shopfronts, including signs reading “Abbeville Hair & Beauty”. A vintage light blue car is parked on the right, and a white police vehicle markings is visible further back. The group is dressed in casual summer clothing, and the scene takes place under a bright blue sky with trees in the background.

Bell Ribeiro-Addy, MP stands beside a bright red bicycle branded with “PIMM’S” on a busy outdoor street market. The bicycle has a front box holding a large tennis-ball prop labelled “Slazenger Wimbledon,” and a grey umbrella is open above it. The person is wearing a white England football shirt and jeans, holding a drink in one hand and a handheld fan in the other. Around them, a crowd moves between market stalls with striped awnings, bunting, and drinks vendors. In the background, more people gather under sunny blue skies, adding to the lively festival atmosphere.

Today in Parliament, I pushed the government on its manifesto pledge to tackle maternal health inequalities. With Black mothers still 3x more likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum, it's crucial that we make this commitment without further delay.

I recently wrote to the council leader, calling for resident exemption permits for LTNs. Whilst traffic calming measures like LTNs are vital to tackle air pollution, they must be implemented in the most effective way. Good to hear they will keep this option under consideration.

Official House of Commons letter from Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP for Clapham & Brixton Hill to Councillor Martin Abrams, Leader of Lambeth Council, dated 17 June 2026. The MP congratulates Councillor Abrams on his appointment before outlining concerns about the effect of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) on residents living inside LTN boundaries. While acknowledging LTNs can reduce car use and improve air quality, the letter argues that some residents face significantly longer journeys to and from their homes, creating difficulties for working people, families, older residents and those with mobility needs. The letter requests consideration of a resident exemption permit for people who live within LTNs, allowing direct access to and from their properties while continuing to support broader traffic reduction objectives. The letter closes by asking for a response and is signed by Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP.
