Labour's latest leaflets in Myatt's Fields lie about cuts – and the backlash from residents is growing rapidly. They should campaign on their candidate and record, not by lying about cuts they literally watched Greens cancel.

Labour sent a leaflet with an AI generated picture of the Minet Library & a bunch of false claims on the back. Campaigning is one thing – this is open contempt for residents. Labour were in the meeting where Greens cancelled the cuts Labour planned for our libraries. They know this leaflet is false.

Bringing back the Lambeth Country Show is a key manifesto commitment of Lambeth Green Party and we are fully committed to the return of the show after it was inexplicably cancelled by Lambeth Labour. We're working tirelessly to make sure it returns!
Statement from Martin Abrams, leader of Lambeth Council: "Bringing back the Lambeth Country Show is a key manifesto commitment of Lambeth Green Party and we are fully committed to the return of the show after it was inexplicably cancelled by Lambeth Labour. 

We are working tirelessly with Council officers to find the best option to bring it back and ensure that we deliver a community centred country show that offers the best value for Lambeth residents."

Sonia Winifred has proved she fights for us – decades of public service working in our libraries and as a councillor leading on equality, standing up to Labour leadership over Gaza, and a genuine local champion for our communities. Now we need to get her elected in Myatt's Fields on October 8th!

A sticker says "Vote October 8th"Everyone should have the right to live in a decent home, breathe clean air, and ensure a safer, greener planet for the next generation to enjoy. We need to invest in our communities and create an economy where all voices are listened to. We need change and hope for the future! 
But after twenty years as a member of the Labour Party, and ten years as councillor and Lambeth cabinet member for the Equalities and Culture portfolio, I saw communities like mine become invisible to the Labour Party. Our voices weren’t heard.
Lambeth residents deserve better, and they have been ignored for far too long! I joined the Green Party to change that, and since May they’ve begun to change that in Lambeth by listening and inviting the community to have a say in how services are delivered. 
I am totally committed to representing the residents of Myatt’s Fields and the challenge of fixing Lambeth’s broken housing and repair systems, empowering our communities, and fighting for people every day. 
Finally,

Rosebank requires the public to shoulder 80% of the cost while the profits flow overseas. Meanwhile, Lambeth residents are already living through record-breaking heat. We’re calling on Helen Hayes, Steve Reed, Bell Ribeiro-Addy and Florence Eshalomi to keep their promise: no new fossil fuel licences
The full letter is below:

“Dear Helen Hayes, Steve Reed, Bell Ribeiro-Addy and Florence Eshalomi.

Reports are circulating new Labour Prime Minister Andy Burnham is ready to green light new oil and gas fields in the North Sea. We reaffirm our strong commitment to a healthy and sustainable future for the residents of Lambeth. We call on you as our members of Parliament to oppose the approval of any further fossil fuel extraction in the UK and its waters, clearly, publicly and in action, in line with your manifesto promise that no new fossil fuel licenses would be issued, and on which your voters based their choices.Everyone who lives, works and studies in Lambeth is facing unprecedented temperatures this summer with impacts on health, education, work and transport. Those who are less well off often feel the consequences most severely. Rosebank would be an unmitigated climate disaster for the people of Lambeth, the UK, and worldwide. It would produce more CO2 than the 73 lowest-emitting countries do in a year, and would destroy UK climate goals. The Met Office has reported that 2700 people have lost their lives to extreme heat already this year.

Rosebank’s vast oil profits would help fund illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine, through a parent company Delek, which has been cited by the UN to have “raised particular human rights concerns” in the West Bank.Rosebank is a bad deal for the UK. The public would shoulder over 80% of the costs – and the vast majority of risk – from developing Rosebank, which is 80% owned by Norwegian state-owned oil giant, Equinor. The oil would overwhelmingly be for export for refineries in Europe and would do nothing to strengthen the UK’s energy supplies or resilience to shocks. This could result in a net loss of hundreds of millions of pounds to the UK Treasury and would undermine our energy security.

Exaggerated claims of new job creation have been debunked. Only 27 new full time jobs would be created by Jackdaw, given it will be unstaffed for most of its operating life and most construction has already taken place. This is not the opportunity it looks to be.To permanently lower bills, have a reliable energy supply and avert climate collapse we need to move faster towards renewable energy and lower emissions. We need to wind down oil and gas ensuring a just transition for existing workers to sustainable jobs in clean energy sectors. The energy crisis, the climate crisis and increasing global tensions are caused by our reliance on expensive and finite fossil fuels.

As elected members of Parliament for Lambeth, we ask you to make clear your opposition to further fossil fuel extraction, representing all the people across this borough who share these immediate concerns.”

World in (three) motion(s) 💚⚽️
A graphic reading "What are the Lambeth Green motions at tonight's full council meeting? And what do Labour think of them? (ooh they don't like them one bit)Motion 1: Lambeth should not implement the transphobic EHRC code of practice.  The 2025 Women Scotland ruling has been lambasted as ‘scientifically illiterate’. The Green Group seeks to reaffirm that trans and gender non-conforming people deserve dignity at work and in public.
LABOUR’S AMENDMENT:
Praises their own record (a lot) despite Labour’s backsliding on LBGTQ+ rights
Strips criticism of the EHRC
Takes out “trans people should be treated as the gender they identify with”
Kicks decision over EHRC code of practice into long grassMotion 2: Lambeth should empower residents and lower petition thresholds. The threshold for a petition to be considered at Full Council should be lowered from 3,000 to 1,500, and for deputations from 20 people to 5.
LABOUR’S AMENDMENT:
Denies there was ever a problem with Lambeth not listening to residents
Says that petition thresholds were perfectly fine actually
Then suggests lowering the threshold anyway so they can claim “Greens voted against it” (you ain’t slick)Motion 3: Lambeth should oppose Sadiq Khan's affordable housing quota cuts. The construction of affordable homes already fails to meet unambitious targets. The 300,000 families on waiting lists in the capital cannot afford for them to be slashed further.
LIB DEM AMENDMENT:
Takes out the need to build council homes because we don’t want them thank you very much
LABOUR’S AMENDMENT:
Blames any government other than the current one
Blames the Greens, somehow
We shouldn’t work with other boroughs because we don’t like their leaders
Praises their own record on housing, which you know, is a stretch

The new EHRC code of practice will exclude and harm our trans communities. Lambeth's Green councillors are calling on local MPs @helenhayes.bsky.social @bellribeiroaddy.bsky.social Steve Reed and Florence Eshalomi to oppose it, sign EDM 240 against it, and stand with Lambeth's trans residents.
As elected representatives of Lambeth council committed to equity, inclusion and justice, we call on you as our local MPs to support your trans and intersex constituents and restore their rights to the fullest, enabling them to thrive in our community. 

We ask you to oppose the recently tabled EHRC Draft Code of Practice, which risks further isolating trans and intersex people from public life, and “empowers those who want to exclude trans people from services and spaces and makes life harder for those who want to support trans people.” (Gendered Intelligence). 

If you have not already, please sign and support Early Day Motion 240 tabled on 1 June 2026.

We ask for the proper restoration of health and mental health service provision, with actionable targets to reduce waiting lists, so that trans and intersex people can lead healthy, happy lives. 70% of trans people have experienced significant depression.

We call for an immediate overturn of the damaging 2025 Supreme Court judgementWe have a duty to ensure that our residents can live in our borough without the threat of intimidation, and we are concerned that the current proposals threaten the right to a private life, and to access all the opportunities that Lambeth has to offer. We call on our local MPs to fight this harmful legislation, reduce this stigma and protect those who will be victimised by these changes. 

In our manifesto, we confirmed our commitment to the trans community. The Lambeth Green Group will continue to campaign for justice for our trans, non-binary and intersex residents, and seek to improve their lives across our administration.
