✅ More then 80k social & affordable homes completed
✅ Out of more than 116k started
✅ And the most new council homes since the 1970s
We’d have done even more if the last government hadn’t crashed housebuilding.
Now we’re working with the new government to turn things around.

A new agreement between @MPSRedbridge & @RedbridgeLive has led to the opening of an additional base for officers in Woodford. Good to join the Commissioner and @KamRai7 today to meet the team and find out how the new base will help them keep the area safe

The very last motion I proposed as a @LondonAssembly member back in 2020 was for the GLA to reclaim the Greater London Council’s coat of arms.
It didn’t happen then, but I’m delighted an application is now being made to adopt it in time for the GLA’s 30th birthday.

This report demonstrates movements in relative poverty between London boroughs and why we’ve told successive govts and @mhclg their funding formulas are not fit for purpose.
No justification for Redbridge being the 3rd lowest funded per head in London. Fair funding now.
3/3
Several Inner London boroughs, and boroughs in the North and East of the city, have higher levels of poverty.
Camden, Westminster, Tower Hamlets, Newham, Brent, Ealing, Enfield, Barking & Dagenham, Redbridge and Wandsworth all have poverty rates higher than the London average

Superb effort by local volunteers to engage with our neighbours again today. A chilly but positive #LabourDoorstep across Redbridge.
The challenge of repairing our nation, after 14 years of Tory failure, is well understood by the people of our borough.
Aldborough Crew out in Newbury Park this morning for @UKLabour national campaign weekend.
Picked up some ASB and fly tipping issues which we’ll be picking up with @RedbridgeLive & @MPSRedbridge
This is a really excellent report 👇
This is a phenomenal piece of journalism by @jimwaterson on the fight for the future of Bethnal Green Working Man's Club. I love the club so much it's been a massive part of my life - having run some pretty massive club nights there

Ilford’s greatest contribution to the world - a Queen of screen and stage with the triple crown of acting.
She brought joy to generations over seven decades.
A life well-lived by anyone’s standards.
Rest in peace and rise in glory, Dame Maggie.

Fully in the list of stuff we just need to do. Oxford Street is a world high street and it should feel like one.
We could also pedestrianise Soho while we're there.....
Pedestrianisation will regenerate Oxford St, catalysing growth & creating jobs across the wider area.
A vibrant West End is key to maintaining London's international status - attracting more visitors and investment.
Delighted @MayorofLondon & gov announcing these exciting plans
