The world’s changing everyday. In every structure of our social democracy we must enable potential through information, technology and communication. This September I will relaunch more leadership masterclasses for all professionals to equip their agendas. Change can be good.
Congratulations Florence ! You’ve worked very close with communities in raising this awareness on housing and vital services ! I’m sure you’ll be a great addition to the department. 👏🏽
Delighted to be appointed by the PM to work with @AngelaRayner & fab MHCLG team.
Excited to be building on the foundations we have put in place to deliver the changes our communities urgently need.
Great things can happen when we bring people together, which is my focus👇🏾
Congratulations to @hackneygreens @ZoeGarbett and all the elected Cllrs in Hackney. Progressive politics has always played a central part of my vision for a brighter future. Strong statements were made at the local elections and residents across the borough need change!

AJ,
I extend my deep sympathies to you following the tragic accident on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, which claimed two precious lives and caused you injuries.
This immense tragedy casts a deep shadow on this season.
I sympathise with you and your family as you bear the emotional weight of this unfortunate incident. As a sportsman, you have always shown courage, discipline, and unwavering love for our country. These are qualities that have made you a source of national pride.
In moments like this, we must encourage one another as brothers and sisters with a shared destiny.
I pray for strength, wisdom, and grace for you during this painful period. May God grant you a speedy recovery and repose to the souls of the departed.

2025/2026 we are looking at inclusive curriculum/pastorsl development.
Great News for Newyorkers, congratulations @ZohranKMamdani on your election. ✊🏾
