5,000 social homes. 10,000 fewer families on the waiting list. And the 25% local letting policy back to make sure social homes go to local residents. @CllrSirajIslam built his record on housing. Here’s what he’ll deliver as Mayor. 🎥 #TowerHamlets #VoteLabour

Council tenants shouldn’t face rent rises they can’t plan for. Labour will cap council rent increases at 2.5% a year and freeze rents for tenants on London Living Rent. Fairer rents. More security. A better deal for tenants. Find all our pledges: thlabour.org/manifesto26

From TODAY, renters like @molly_hartill will benefit from the Renters Rights Act. ✅ Right to request a pet ✅ Ban on Section 21 No Fault Evictions ✅ End to rental bidding wars The difference Labour makes 🌹

Our home care workers are the unsung heroes of our community. They risked their own safety to care for the needy & the vulnerable during Covid. This is why my Manifesto pledges to protect them by implanting @unisontheunion migrant care workers charter.

Three years ahead of schedule we've delivered on our manifesto commitment to deliver 8,500 more mental health workers in the NHS. That means more support, quicker and closer to home. This Labour Government is keeping its promise to rebuild the NHS 🌹💙

This is progress in every direction. Made possible by the extraordinary efforts of NHS staff, supported by the investment and modernisation we've made to turn the health service around. A great deal done and much more to do.

It's here. 'For a Fairer Tower Hamlets' Tower Hamlets Labour's manifesto for May 2026. Read it now: thlabour.org/manifesto26 🌹 #TowerHamlets #VoteLabour

Today, 500 more free breakfast clubs are opening for 140,000 primary school children across the country. We're determined to bear down on the cost of living. This support alone will save parents up to £450 while giving them more time to get to work. Labour is on your side.

The difference clean power makes to our energy security 👇

I am saddened to hear of the passing former Cllr. Belle Harris. Belle served as a Labour Councillor & was also member of ILEA. Belle was a great character and will be missed. My sincere condolences to Belle’s family & to all her loved ones. RIP. @TH_Labour

On top of the extra £39 million grants the Labour Govt has given Tower Hamlets Council for '26/27 it is now being allowed to keep a further £10 million Business Rates and will get a £2.7 million more grant. In this context there is no excuse for Mayor Rahman's 5% Council Tax hike
