Mitcham & Morden Labour Party

Yesterday Mitcham lost one of its finest - the effervescent and optimistic bundle of joy that was Christine Kelly ( known to all as Tot) She will be so sadly missed by her family, friends and by all to who she gave a cheery word. ⁦Mitcham will be a sadder place at losing her.

In memory of my sister Margaret, we launched a Glioblastoma drug trial. Now, Margaret’s Trial is open on the NHS - and offering real hope. Ben, diagnosed with a Glioblastoma in 2022, saw his tumour vanish. His story helped make this happen. Watch here:

Enjoyable night at @OfficialTmufc Hub tonight hosted by @MMLabour ... hearing from our fav MP, @Siobhain_Mc and the lovely & impressive @Georgia_Gould ... on the importance of #Labourvalues , good organising and not giving up.... Great food and company. Well done all involved. 😍

🎉MORDEN POST OFFICE SAVED FROM CLOSURE🎉 Thanks to an outpouring of local support, and the work of local Labour Cllrs, the planning application that sought to convert Morden Post Office into flats has been rejected! (1/2)

We’re delighted that the government has awarded St Helier Hospital and Epsom £12m. But we know more will need to be done in our fight to keep A&E services at St Helier. You can be confident that whoever is in government, Merton Labour will fight to keep St Helier Hospital open.

We want A&E, maternity and ICU services to remain at St Helier Hospital. Any new hospital should be built on the St Helier site, not in healthy, wealthy Belmont.

It’s a wrap! Final @MMLabour canvassing session of the year! Thank you to the whole team and especially to all the residents of the Garth Road area for the conversation. We’ll be back in January!

Thank you to everyone who joined our @mmlabour teams in Lower Morden today!

Fantastic news! This just shows what a Labour-run council that prioritises its residents can deliver!

Thanks to all in Lower Morden who signed our #SaveStHelier petition this weekend, we’re lucky to have such a passionate MP @Siobhain_Mc and Labour councillors Sally Kenny and James Williscroft who will continue to advocate for the hospital to stay in Morden!
