Stepping Down as Minister, Remaining Committed to Peckham

I want to reassure residents that although I have resigned as a Minister, I remain fully committed to serving our community as your local MP. Stepping back from government will allow me to focus even more on the issues facing our community and allows me to speak more openly about the change needed.

Resigning from the Cabinet was not an easy decision, I have deep respect for Sir Keir Starmer and am grateful to him for bring Labour to government once again. But I do not believe we have been delivering with the pace of change, clarity of purpose or boldness that the people of Peckham, and across the country, deserve.

My focus remains on delivering for Peckham; improving housing quality, supporting young futures, backing local businesses, and helping residents with the issues they face day to day. If you have any questions or need my help, please email me at miatta.fahnbulleh.mp@parliament.uk.

A Moment When Britain Starts to Believe Again 

In May, the Labour Party suffered a resounding defeat in council and local elections across the country.  As I said in my resignation letter to Keir Starmer shortly after those elections, the message from constituents was clear: the Labour Government had not acted with the vision, pace and ambition that our mandate for change demanded…
