Back to the original programme…

This afternoon I met Ikky, Artistic Director of Millennium Performing Arts. We realised we have a shared history in WAC (Weekend Arts Club) - a place that transformed the lives of so many children and young people under the leadership of ‘Celia’.…

The greatest leadership attribute is dissatisfaction. Dissatisfaction with structural inequalities and inequities, with cultures that exclude, with status quos that privilege, with bureaucracy that stifles innovation, with processes that impede creativity, with behaviours that…

Three of the four candidates given airtime on ITV last night snubbed hustings for Londoners. Without explanation. Two, Labour and Conservative haven’t shared manifestos. Just PR stunts. Yet, the election is 15 days away.

They are showing you who they are: arrogant, complacent,…

If we want the public to know the media is not in full cahoots with the political parties then they need to do better. I’ll be filing a report with Ofcom - ITV London Charlene White this is a poor showing. It’s active discrimination and lack of democratic process.

Shirley…

Surely opportunities must be offered to all candidates so where is the invitation ITV London & Charlene White …

My message is clear - voting for me will deliver change based on what Londoners said they want. I asked, I listened (and still listen) then I got to work on the plan.

It’s a wide open field. Vote for change.

In response to both Inclusion London and Age UK London I want to make sure you have real representation, accountability and action from me, as Mayor, and the GLA as the body implementing policies. Therefore I pledge to have a Deputy Mayor for Disabled People and Older Londoners.…

Thank you to candidate for Mayor of London, Natalie Campbell for sharing her support for an #AgeFriendlyLondon as well as these lovely photos of her grandad.
We hope that all candidates commit to making London a better place for older people.

This one is for my Grandad. He was a strong and proud man (who loved driving around London - he owned a car garage in Earls Court). As he aged he lost his sight & mobility but never his spirit… until buses became impossible for him to navigate & cash machines became a place he

Overdue post going out to the 330 (actually over 500 pledged). Thank you…

I recorded a podcast with AllBright a while ago. In it I say “if you didn’t invite me to sit at the table, I will stand on the damn table,” my run for Mayor of London is me standing on the table for all the people *doing the work* regardless - feels apt for this moment -…

I’m frustrated. I’ve been told by journalists & organisations that they can’t attend events I invite them to or speak on platforms because it’s not politically ‘fair’. These events, I fund/create because *I’m not included* but care about making sure we hear from Londoners & have…

My first 100 days in office = change for Londoners

“Three candidates to be the next mayor of London have refused to explain why they failed to turn up to a packed hustings event that would have allowed disabled people from across the capital to question them on their policies”…

When someone shows you who they are, believe them…

CASH met mayoral candidate Natalie Campbell in #Southall today for a guided tour of the construction sites around the station including the Green Quarter Gasworks where she could taste petroleum & feel dust on the back of her throat. 1/2

Keep an eye out for the Mayoral Address Booklets dropping through letterboxes this month, 6M we’ve been told.

I’m hoping it raises awareness of the upcoming election…only 20 days to go 👀.

Side note: To secure a place in this booklet, candidates have to pay £10,000. Another…

First hustings all of the invited candidates have shown up to. And possibly the only hustings they all attend.

A slap in the face of all freelancers, entrepreneurs and business leaders…

So far, the current Mayor has attended ‘zero’ hustings events. With 21 days to go. Conservatives same. Lib Dems, close behind.

Independents are *not invited* to any. I show up but I don’t get a seat at…
