Sadly I am no longer a Thames Ward councillor (need to change my Twitter handle!) but the rest of the Thames Labour team are still working hard for the ward. Thank you to everyone who voted for me, and congratulations to Cllr Dave Clarke on his win.

Have now listened. Bizarre remarks from Hannah Spencer, claiming the peers scrutinising the assisted dying bill weren’t experts: “How do we know the expertise when people didn’t assess who was going in there? Who decided that people were experts who went in there?” Here is how:

@salmanFoodQA @MothinAli In 2007 we had had nine years of a Labour Government investing in the NHS. From 2010-2024 we had 14 years of Tory & Lib Dem underfunding. That can’t be undone with a snap of the fingers.

@MothinAli I visited yesterday A&E following chest pain and after 9 hours wait I was seen by a doctor. Last time I visited was around 2007 and at that time its was as I recall was under an hour.

I've just come home from visiting my wife in hospital following major surgery. The medical team have done an incredible job and we’re extremely grateful. But this surgery was after a 3 year wait and 3 cancellations. Last time they sent her home on the day of her operation. So when Streeting claims he's done wonders for the NHS, stories like my wife's are the reality. He can fight the doctors and fudge the numbers but our stories don't lie

People clutching their pearls about the Greens contesting the Makefield by election need to catch themselves up. The collaborative and principled Greens aren’t in charge any more. Many aren’t in the party any more. It’s now a hostile anti-Labour group. They are an opposition…

Farage has a company, Thorn in the Side, which he uses to launder his media income (so he doesn't pay income tax). His earnings from I'm a Celebrity were paid into it, and were still there in 2025. He didn't use them to buy a house.

The Overnight Visitor Levy (delivered correctly) is a huge moment for devolution, Mayors & councils. It’s surprising any politician is opposing it. At @CityWestminster & @LGAculturesport we supported it for years. It works in many European cities already. It will work here.
Dan Tomlinson MP@Dan4Barnet

The Overnight Visitor Levy is a big moment in the history of devolution in England. Opponents would prefer we stuck in the past - with Mayors denied the choice to raise revenue to invest locally, supporting growth, tourism & raising the economic potential of their areas.

As of May 2026, the UK government announced that rape and domestic abuse victims will no longer have to surrender their physical phones to police. New technology, which has been approved by the Home Office, will enable victims to securely submit digital evidence. 👇🏽

NEW Rape victims no longer have to surrender phones to police. New technology - from UK company Kulpa - enables victims & witnesses to send digital material - messages, photos, emails - to police in a format that can be used as evidence in court. telegraph.co.uk/gift/954069a41…

Anyone who - however hypothetically - aspires to lead the Labour Party, let alone be Prime Minister, must make it clear this is never going to happen. Labour was found to have broken equalities law against Jewish members under Corbyn's leadership. This is a non-negotiable.

NEW: John McDonnell has told @cathynewman he hopes Andy Burnham reinstates Jeremy Corbyn as a Labour MP and he’d “raise it with him” personally. @TimesRadio

Free breakfast clubs help parents drop their kids off earlier and get into work, while saving them up to £450 per year, and they make sure children get a healthy start to the day. Reform want to shut them down.

Polanski didn’t pay council tax, didn’t vote in local elections and didn’t have a plan or policies for local government. He’s Farage’s mirror. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
