For over 40 years David has been voting Conservative. Now I'm honoured that David, who was a Conservative branch Chair in Fulham, is voting for me and a Labour government. For change.

Britain is so much better than the @Conservatives have ever understood over the last 14 years. They have #BrokenBritain. Vote for @Keir_Starmer's @UKLabour to lift our country up and give people the chance to realise their potential in every part of our great country ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐ŸŒน

Susan Hallโ€™s own campaign has removed her from her Party Election Broadcast, so weโ€™ve stepped in to help. Here she is โ€” the Tory candidate for Mayor โ€” Susan Hall, in her own words.

In 2019, your government capitulated and ended its plan to demolish CX. You then flipped your position and wrongly told residents you had saved it despite having previously said it was never under threat. Your record speaks for itself @GregHands 4/4 lbhf.gov.uk/news/2020/02/freโ€ฆ

Here's a speech I gave in 2016 while one of the authors to your letter was sitting next to me 3/4 youtube.com/watch?v=6jHz-bHIโ€ฆ Back then, you, Greg, said all of that was false and you told residents that CX was safe. But that wasn't true - was it?

As you'll recall Greg, you led the campaign to tell residents that CX was safe from demolition while knowing it was scheduled to be demolished and replaced by a small clinic as detailed here: thecowanreport.com/2017/07/sโ€ฆ 2/4

I did. That's the letter I attached. But you knew CX was being demolished and replaced by a very small clinic. But you told residents CX was safe from demolition. Why did you do that? Where are the 'details' of CX's floor-by-floor refurbishment? When will it be completed?

That's absolute nonsense as you well know Greg. Here's the rebuttal letter which caused the government to quickly backtrack from their letter 1/4

Why did @GregHands think he could falsely claim he played any role in saving the veterans from homelessness when it simply isn't true? Ask the veterans. Perhaps Greg would like to attend a meeting with the residents of Stoll to explain himself? mylondon.news/news/west-londโ€ฆ

So sorry to learn of the death of former @HFLabour Councillor Dr Jenny Vaughan. Jenny was a force for good in the world as a politician, a leading neurologist and an advocate for doctors and the NHS. Love to Matt, her boys and many loved ones. lbhf.gov.uk/news/2024/04/memโ€ฆ

Hands actually boasted at a public meeting heโ€™d advised the Transport Secretary not to give @LBHF any money for the Bridge. He has always been more interested in whipping up anger than fixing the bridge because he thought that would benefit the Conservatives. Heโ€™s a disgrace
If Hands had spent 1% of the effort he puts into party point scoring on persuading his govt to pay their fair share to fix the Bridge maybe we could have made more progress. So far @LBHF, despite having half its budget cut by that govt, has paid out ยฃ30m, the govt ยฃ13m.

Itโ€™s been over 5 years that Hammersmith Bridge has been closed. I have been campaigning for its reopening consistently. Meanwhile the Tories only come out at local or mayoral election time, pretending their dither, delay and inaction isnโ€™t the reason repair costs are soaringโ€ฆ
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Hammersmith bridge has been open to pedestrians and cyclists since 2021. lbhf.gov.uk/transport-and-โ€ฆ
