My Public service is over in favour of time with my nephew. I won’t be keeping this account active but will retain it as an archive. Farewell and thanks.

My thoughts are with all of London’s Jewish community following this heinous attack. Antisemitism has no place in our society. All Londoners must stand together against this kind of hatred and intimidation. Patrols are being stepped up in the area to reassure the local community.

An attack on our Jewish community is an attack on London. As Londoners, we will always stand together in the face of those who seek to divide us.

Statement titled ‘Mayor of London’ displayed in black text on a white background. The statement condemns an antisemitic arson attack on four ambulances operated by the Jewish community ambulance charity Hatzola, describes it as a dangerous and deliberate act intended to intimidate Jewish Londoners, notes that no injuries occurred, and outlines increased police patrols. It calls on Londoners to stand together against antisemitism and support Jewish friends, neighbours and colleagues.

A white page with black text headed “MAYOR OF LONDON.” Below the heading is a statement about unity in London, urging people not to let overseas events create division. It states that Londoners of all faiths reject those who try to turn communities against each other and calls for vigilance against bigotry and hatred. The text includes a request for anyone with information about a recent incident to contact the police or Crimestoppers. It closes by saying that an attack on the Jewish community is an attack on London and affirms that Londoners will stand together. The statement ends with the sign‑off: “MAYOR OF LONDON, SADIQ KHAN.

Today is a dark day for London. An attack on our Jewish community is an attack on us all. Decent Londoners of all faiths and none will reject those who seek to pit us against one another.

Very grateful to attend the Mayor of Barnet’s civic reception for the Morphou delegation. Barnet’s more than 30 year relationship with Morphou is one of the many valuable international partnerships we have, and important recognition for the wonderful Cypriot community in Barnet.

Public service went to the heart of Jim. The tributes paid to him when he stood down as a local councillor after 24 years are but a small testimony of that. www.times-series.co.uk/news/1619038...

We said a last goodbye to our dear friend Jim Tierney today. So may fond memories and reminiscences. From planning committee meetings to the most graceful and charming canvass conversations. A lover of poetry and theatre too, he was a class act. Farewell Jim. We miss you.

Remembrance Sunday at St Kilda’s is always a moving occasion, but especially for me today, as it was my last time laying a wreath as a Councillor. I think about all those who serve or have served that I have met over the last 14 years, and forever grateful to them.

It is a sad day indeed for Barnet that our wonderful former Mayor Agnes Slocombe has passed away, just a month after being awarded her MBE She represented West Hendon ward from 1982 to 2018, and was the first black female Mayor in Barnet, serving in 1997-8. Rest in power Agnes.

I’ve been appointed as the chair of the audit committee of the NLWA. To chair one audit committee may be considered a misfortune, but two looks like carelessness! Anyway, I look forward to my new responsibilities! Here is a photo of me recycling!

Absolutely loving this book on Emperor Justinian. Such a titanic figure yet comparatively little known- and as far as I am aware never really committed to film or TV. He deserves so much more recognition than he currently has.

Congratulations to the wonderful Cllr Charlotte Daus on winning the Burnt Oak by election. Wishing her all the best with her new duties. As an experienced campaigner on housing issues and local activist she is an excellent champion for the people of Burnt Oak.
