The Tories have changed the voting system to make it easier for them to win. Londoners now only get one vote for mayor.

Good to be back in Lambeth speaking to Londoners about the choice on 2 May: my positive vision or the hard-right Tory candidate.

📢Household Support Fund Extended for 6 Months📢

We welcome the announcement that the HSF will continue, but this doesn't go far enough to remedy the long term persistent issues this Tory Government has failed to fix.

We need a Labour Government, and we need it now!

The Household Support Fund, which provides emergency support to help families struggling with food and energy bills, will end in March unless the Government acts. The cost-of-living crisis hasn't ended, and neither should the HSF. Agree? Add your name 👇 party.coop/savethehsf?utm…

Cllr Alison Inglis-Jones 'At the foodbank partnership that serves all of Lambeth we are disappointed the chancellor has not extended the household support fund. A missed opportunity to provide certainty to councils with a long-term decision on the future of crisis support funding'

Our statement on the disciplinary action our group has taken this week👇

Susan Hall's record speaks for itself as she:

❌doesn’t condemn ‘Islamophobia’ against Sadiq Khan
❌won't apologise for endorsing a tweet calling him Mayor of ‘Londonistan’
❌denies that institutional racism exists in the Met

Fear & division will not win
