Tower Hamlets Labour Group

Privileged to join the celebration of Belle Harris' life earlier. Four years as a @TH_Labour cllr and a term at ILEA, but decades more as a determined community activist holding those in power to account with intellectual rigour and good grace. We will remember the history, Belle

🥳NHS waiting lists are falling- the biggest drop, outside of COVID, since 2008. Ambulances are arriving faster than at any point in the last 5 years. There are more GPs and 8500 more mental health staff. There is more to be done. But this is what Labour delivery looks like.

We are delighted to confirm that @AbdalUllah has been elected to lead the Labour group following the 2026 local elections. @DavidJEdgar is group chair 🌹 @vic4wapping is group secretary 🌹 @ShuboHussain is our whip 🌹 @amina_ali79 is our comms officer 🌹

@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.

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

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.

Total disgrace that a sitting MP cannot condemn these rancid remarks that Nigerians should be melted down to “fill in the potholes”. I will fight with every fibre of my being to do all I can to stop Reform ever getting the keys to No10.

My statement on the local elections. To my local Labour team, we will rebuild brick by brick, and I’m here with you every step of the way 🌹

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

A frustrating result in Tower Hamlets. For everyone in @TH_Labour who knocked doors and put their faith in @uklabour, thank you.

I want to express my gratitude to everyone who voted for me on Thursday. To my constituents & friends of Bethnal Green, I am grateful for your 25 years of support & friendship. I will still be your neighbour & bump into you in Bethnal Green, Roman Rd or even in the allotment.

Residents know their neighbourhoods better than any council officer. We will reintroduce a £250,000 community budgeting pot for each of the eight local areas, putting residents in charge of how money is spent in their community. Find all our pledges: buff.ly/CkcYn7h

Many council tenants are living with old kitchens, leaking roofs and rising energy bills. That has to change. Labour will invest to replace old kitchens and bathrooms and make council homes energy efficient, cutting bills for residents. Find our pledges: thlabour.org/manifesto26
