I was absolutely delighted to go to a lunch on Sunday organised by Somers Town and St Pancras Branch of Holborn and St Pancras Labour Party, which just happens to be my own CLP .

The event, held in the excellent Euro Tandoori opposite Kings Cross Station, was hugely fun with great curry and very lively conversation.

My thanks especially to local councillor Samara Khatoom who organised the lunch along with activist Paul Tomlinson. It was good to see Frank Dobson, my MP, and his wife Janet as well as the Leader of Camden Council Nasim Ali.

Both Frank and Nasim spoke before we tucked in as did two guest MPs, Luciana Berger who represents Liverpool Wavertree but used to be a Somers Town and St Pancras council candidate and newly elected Bethnal Green MP Rushanara Ali. It was great to meet Luciana and Rushanara. I was also pleased to be asked to say a few words, always a privilege and also a good way to tell Labour Party members about what is going on in Europe.
