Landsec has pulled out of its £1.5bn investment in Lewisham shopping centre, citing Mayor @LiamShrivastava's Green administration's lack of support.
300+ affordable homes, jobs, a park and a music venue: gone.
Our Group Leader @Ese_Journo has written to the Mayor 👇

On Thursday, I'll be speaking in Parliament to mark #BlackHistoryMonth.
I want to celebrate Black British heroes, past and present, from Erith and Thamesmead and across the UK, whose contributions deserve recognition.
Who should I mention? Comment below using #BHMdebate.

What a privilege to support @Sagal_AW during her campaign and to walk her into the chamber today.
Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this happen.
BREAKING: Labour's Sagal Abdi-Wali has taken the oath of allegiance and been sworn in as an MP after winning last week's by-election in Holborn and St Pancras.

SO so proud to be elected as the @LambethLabour Cllr for Myatt’s Fields. 🌹
It’s been a local campaign focussed on local issues and hope. I’m so excited to represent Myatt’s on @lambeth_council and carry on the work of our brilliant late colleague, Annie. ❤️

Thank you to colleagues, member and volunteers all out today supporting @LambethLabour 🌹

@evenor23 & I discuss the Berkeley Homes planning application coming to @lb_southwark planning committee this evening.
(minor amendment to the captions: Berkeley's net profits over the last 2 years were almost £1 billion)

Southwark Lib Dems have a choice - stay in power and be defiled, or leave the coalition.

A tweet I sent yesterday about door knocking for @Sagal_AW has brought the racists to my comments. We white women in politics must never underestimate the abuse aimed at our non-white sisters and how those abusers are not fit to lace Sagal's boots.

Loving you just keeps getting better and better! Happy anniversary, @BarackObama. Here’s to many, many more years of joy, laughter, and memories to come. 💕

Happy anniversary, @MichelleObama! I’m still the luckiest guy in the world to be with you.

Every person in every postcode deserves to have a stake in the energy system this government is building.
Clean energy powered and owned by our communities!
The clean energy transition works best when communities own it.
From the Local Power Plan investing in community-owned energy, to billions for communities and local authorities to upgrade homes, @miatsf is turning that co-operative principle into practice. 🐝

Important notice for @OKR_Labour residents: the process for the Cleaner Greener Safer fund (and other local funds too I think) will open on 5 October, closing 2 November.
This is both later than most years and a shorter application period, so get ready for it opening!

Labour’s South Bermondsey councillors are campaigning to stop more gambling shops opening in The Blue.
We need your continued support to prevent permission being granted for more slot machines which exploit local communities and line the pockets of billionaire owners.

Still trying to understand why Polanski thinks he can beat her. Local. Articulate. Woman. Refugee heritage. Strong existing political base. Directly attacked by Reform. She's the perfect candidate for this seat. Think he's made a fatal miscalculation.
