Thanks to @HFLabour, 4 in 10 households in Hammersmith & Fulham qualify for a discount under our local Council Tax Support Scheme.
This includes care leavers & foster carers, who pay nothing at all, and a 25% tax cut for military veterans.

Are you due a council tax discount? It’s worth checking if you’re a student, live alone, have (or are) a live-in carer, or you’re on certain benefits. Full details here: moneysavingexpert.com/family/council… #MartinLewis

We're leading the way with unique cutting-edge technology to keep residents safe.
We’re the very first council in the UK to test advanced AI-powered CCTV, that can detect people carrying weapons.
This advanced tech will help the Met Police catch criminals faster.

There's only one reason to donate to a political party using crypto: anonymity.
That's why it's Russia's bribing method of choice.
I was pleased to contribute to the Rycroft review, and I'm glad to see the Government is taking action on his recommendations.

A massive campaign win for our members and the credit union movement.
Millions more people will have access to fairer borrowing and saving because of today's reforms.
Growing credit unions, growing our movement, growing our economy.

Yesterday was a proud (if windy) day, as we opened the Westville Road Rain Gardens
Designed by Greenside pupils, the gardens don’t just brighten up the road, they prevent flooding by soaking up excess rain water
Just the latest great project funded by the H&F Green Investment.

Last summer two councillors made Hammersmith and Fulham history by defecting from Labour to the Green Party. Since then? Just one meeting attended each. Neither are standing in this May's elections. mylondon.news/news/west-lond…

Simon is right. Green Party manifesto promised borrowing on a staggering scale. It was wholly unrealistic and would have been catastrophic if any attempt made to implement it. They have doubled down since. They must now become more realistic.
Simon French@Frencheconomics
Reform UK had to dramatically revisit their 2024 manifesto - which would have undoubtedly triggered an acute Sterling and Gilt crisis. The 2024 manifesto offered up by the Green Party would, with little doubt, receive an even worse market reaction - with a severe negative impact on the cost of living. Any sustained polling around this level by the Greens will make a manifesto revisit inevitable.

The reason there’s so many PVs is we make it hard to vote, the fact that we do it on one working day is mad. We should introduce early voting so ordinary working people aren’t restricted to a few hours before and after work.

🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage has called for postal voting to be banned - except for the elderly and disabled - after Reform UK lost the Gorton and Denton by-election "You should need to have a good reason to request a postal vote, backed up by documentary evidence"

There's nowhere better to be a Council Tax payer than Hammersmith & Fulham
We have the 3rd lowest rates in the country & our Support Scheme helps 4 in 10 households, so those least able to pay pay the least
This year we're thanking veterans for their service with a 25% tax cut

This is completely the wrong decision.
Allowing athletes from Russia and Belarus to compete under their own flags while the brutal invasion of Ukraine continues sends a terrible message.
The International Paralympic Committee should reconsider this decision urgently.

39 years ago this month Inspector Morse was first broadcast. Many in the TV industry doubted that the two-hour format (100 minutes running time) would work. Others thought it was too cerebral and slow moving. The series proved a huge success, both in the UK and globally. 1/
