The MP spoke about being a daughter of the Windrush generation, praised the diversity of her London constituency and expressed concerns over police powers to stop and search.

Delighted to deliver my maiden speech today. I was extremely proud to formally represent #LewishamEast in the Commons for the first time.https://t.co/3MWbONitZP
