A big thank you to all the residents of Bow East. It has been a real honour serving as your Councillor Sadly I wasn’t re-elected this time, but as we say in the east end ‘I will keep ducking and diving, until we met again mate” ❤️ @TH_Labour @LondonLabour

@ManOnThe339 @TH_Labour Thanks. I have enjoyed the challenge of trying to make a local authority better serve its residents, but it is certainly the wins for individual residents that have kept me going. I am still around so will keep having my say but please do continue speaking truth to power yourself

@CllrMarcFrancis @TH_Labour Thanks for all the many years of hard work. You are highly respected in the borough. Everyone in Bow East knows someone you've helped. #PublicService Clarion will have a short period of respite before the @thgreenparty start pinging the Clarion inbox and visiting Wright's Road.

Congrats to Mads, Ottlie and Jonathan on their election as Bow East's cllrs. It has been a privilege to represent this area. Thanks to my @TH_Labour colleagues, the council officers who have helped me and especially Bow residents for your support + kindness over the past 20 years

Very pleased to attend the welcome service for the new Bishop of Stepney yesterday, along with our outgoing Speaker of Hackney. It was a lovely event for the diocese of Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Stepney. In east London we celebrate all faiths and all our communities.🫂

@grayee @TH_Labour That's John, that's kind of you to say. Following in the footsteps of Ray Gipson + Betty Baunton, there was really no alternative! I was pleased to see you, @rectripp @Plaistovian + others made it through. I hope your experience and knowledge will now be put to good use at Newham

@CllrMarcFrancis @TH_Labour Hi Marc, While I declare a political affinity, as someone who has worked in your patch, off and on, for the past 30 odd years, I can say that you were an excellent, hard working, resident first Cllr. An example to all Cllrs regardless of their Party label.

It has been an absolute honour serving Mile End and Weavers While this result wasn't what we hoped for, my commitment to Tower Hamlets remains. ​To those we lost: I hear you. I’ll be working hard within the party to make the changes needed to win back your trust.

My father was a bus driver, so I know just how essential buses are to Londoners and our livelihood. I’m proud to say since I’ve been elected, we’ve increased the number of electric buses from 30 to a projected 8,000 by the end of this decade. My goal is a fully electric London bus network.

@robin_edwards @TH_Labour Thanks Robin, that’s kind of you to say, though I’d always rather residents just got a better service in the first place. In fact, these MEs were driven by austerity, the deregulation of social housing + privatisation of public services, as well as mismanagement in the Town Hall

@CllrMarcFrancis @TH_Labour I might not agree with you politically, but I can’t fault your dedication to the job and the residents of Bow East. 2,614 members enquires since 2022 is pretty damn impressive, can only hope the new Green councillors are as hard-working as you were.

@CllrSirajIslam @TH_Labour Thanks Siraj. Having spent some of the past six months in Bethnal Green, many of your own former constituents say the same about you. It was a privilege to stand alongside you in this election as the embodiment of hard-working public service and common decency in TH politics

@CllrMarcFrancis @TH_Labour You have been a brilliant Councillor for Bow East. Your energy, passion and determination will be missed by the residents of Bow. I hope the new councillors will show the same determination as you did in seeking results for residents.

#OTD 1994. Death of Labour Leader John Smith Having been 20pts ahead in the polls, he had taken apart the Major Government - mired in sleaze and incompetence: “If we were to offer that tale of events to the BBC…It might have even been too much for "Some Mothers Do 'Ave Them"

@CllrSirajIslam A synagogue was set on fire in Whitechapel this morning. Our borough has been here before we know what it looks like when a community is targeted to make them feel they don't belong. The arson, the abuse, the assaults. In Tower Hamlets, we will not look away.

@TowerHamletsNow @CllrMarcFrancis @AminaAliLabour @CampaignerAbdi The lack of suitable dropped kerbs either side of this entrance way results in wheelchair users being unable to cross.

@Uma_Kumaran @CllrMarcFrancis Hi, I live in Winford House E3 2LF. Something in the block is making a loud intrusive noise 24/7 affecting my sleep & tinnitus & has been for months. I’ve reported it to landlord, Clarion no result. May be water pump, we’ve had problems with supply

Three more days to Polling Day. All to play for. Amazing push by our candidates & volunteers. If you want to make #change happen and be part of history then make sure your vote counts. Vote for @TH_Labour candidates on 7th May. From “doubters to believers”.

Still the most read story UK in the Guardian this Bank Holiday Monday. If the Greens thought it would be just Mail and Telegraph readers who'd be repulsed by the extremism of Green candidates and the party's failure to get a grip, they've made huge blunder theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/m…
