Islington Labour 🌹 #OnYourSide

🚨📰 We have a new Leader! Following a meeting this evening @UnaOHalloran has been elected as the new Leader, and she will be confirmed as Leader of the Council by a Full Council meeting in December 🌹 #OnYourSide

Weekly canvassing round up 🗳️ We’ve spoken to hundreds of people in Junction Ward in the last few weeks & we’re not going to stop until the end of polling day! Great to see lots of support for Labour🌹 Plus not pictured but I’ve helped out in two other wards too! We keep going!

Thank you @tonyvaughanMP for making the time in your busy schedule and joining us here in Laycock to speak with residents for @IslingtonLabour It was a very positive evening with many good conversations around the @UnionChapelUK

🌹 Great to have @Uma_Kumaran supporting my colleagues and I in Arsenal Ward. Labour in power locally, working with @SadiqKhan in City Hall and a Labour Government is helping to build a fairer, safer and greener community for everyone. #VoteLabour on 7 May - and take photo ID!

@IslingtonLabour Golden Lane Estate Dixon Clark Court Wedmore Estate Holloway Prison Barnsbury Estate Again and again the Greens say no to desperately needed housing

Want some examples? 38% social housing in an estate that's literally falling down, supported by 73% of estate residents. The Greens don't care. They opposed it. @IslingtonLabour said yes. islington.media/news/barnsbury…

It gets worse. The Greens are running councils in Hastings, Mid Suffolk and Folkestone & Hythe. Guess how many social rented housing projects they started last year? 0.

@EmilyThornberry @IslingtonLabour They're opposing 135 new social homes and 291 improved replacement homes on the Barnsbury Estate! Residents voted for it in an estate ballot so I don't know who they're listening to but it's not social housing tenants...

The idea that the Greens are the party of housing is nonsense. Since 2018, they've opposed the building of 658 social homes in Islington. @IslingtonLabour is committed to building more housing, and to continuing our ambitious buy back scheme. islington-labour.org.uk/islington-gree…

@IslingtonLabour’s funding of youth clubs has contributed to an 80% reduction in the number of children entering the youth justice system since 2016. Despite the naysayers - youth clubs really do make a difference. That’s why this is a fantastic initiative from @SadiqKhan!

Grew up just there at Kerridge Court. Mildmay is home. That is why this matters. On 7 May you have 3 votes. Vote Labour 🌹

Our Mayor @SadiqKhan's investment into youth clubs is invaluable for young Londoners, including young people here in Islington. Today is proof that Labour remains determined to keep young people safe and tackle causes of crime - and why it's so important to vote Labour this May

We’re bringing youth clubs back!

You’re welcome to respond by publishing the Green’s manifesto for Islington. Any actual plans to offer my community, or just more empty rhetoric? Some inspo for you below! islington-labour.org.uk/islington-labo…

Weekly canvassing round up 🌹 Door knocking in Junction, Hillrise and Tollington wards. Lots of positive conversations, lots more to come!

Residents raised it. We followed it through and delivered. New fencing, repairs, and removing unnecessary barriers. That is what local representation should look like. On 7 May, use all 3 votes for your Mildmay Labour team. 🌹

Terrific to have @SadiqKhan in Islington this evening for an @IslingtonLabour fundraiser, alongside the one and only Neil Kinnock. We have an excellent Labour council in this part of London, and we intend to keep it that way.

Here in Islington, the message ahead of May’s elections is clear: if re-elected, @IslingtonLabour will continue delivering real change - from record numbers of council homes, to championing the living wage, to taking bold climate action.

Out across Mildmay over the last 72 hours speaking with residents and sharing our manifesto 🌹 On 7 May, use all 3 votes for @IslingtonLabour

Great to host the @IslingtonLabour manifesto launch in Mildmay today. Emily Thornberry MP set out what is at stake. We have delivered for residents & there is more to do. Do not put your trust in those who would undo years of hard work. On 7 May, use all 3 votes for Labour

Our @IslingtonLabour manifesto launch today ‘Standing up for Islington’, following a busy week on the doorstep. @EmilyThornberry & @UnaOHalloran once again passionately talked about being on the side of our residents, delivering for all despite challenging times. Onwards 🙏🏼 🌹
