Hackney has the second-worst rate of child poverty in London - 45%! Diane Abbott voted for this (of course). So Meg Hillier why didn’t you?

We love Hackney, but it needs to work for all of us. Rising rents. Mouldy homes. Foodbanks. Zoë Garbett is running Mayor of Hackney to change that - with Dylan as Deputy. But we need YOU. 💰Donate: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/hackney-ma... 📲Share with your friends: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f4j...

RIP St Dominic's Primary. Joined staff on their picket line alongside @liamzud.bsky.social , Hackney Independents & NEU ✊️ The school will close at the end of term. The staff have led an incredible campaign to try & save it which has loudly raised the alarm for other schools.

My climate emergency motion in 2018 came out of brilliant campaigning by so many Londoners. It’s great the Mayor responded quickly and positively as that has led to clear net zero targets to which Green AMs continue to hold him accountable. Just five years left! www.london.gov.uk/motions/clim...

From my Green councillor colleague @liamzud.bsky.social calling out the Mayor of Hackney's statement. All words. No action. The situation in Palestine is horrifying and desperate. Hackney's residents, Green & Independent Cllrs have been pushing for the council to divest, blocked by Labour.

Tweet from Liam Davis staying Hackney Labour will not allow divestment to event be discussed let alone voted on. As a quote tweet to Mayor of Hackney stating. Strength in allyship runs through the join statement from UK Frank and canine on Gaza and the West Bank but there's so little time to get aid in as famine strikes

"We are not going to come forward with a wealth tax" Labour spelling it out for anyone who had any doubt. Squarely in the corner of the richest. Refusing to tax assets & property anywhere near as high as they tax people in work. The poor will have to pay again. #r4today

People in overcrowded homes, using foodbanks & sleeping on the streets can't wait around for growth. They need change now. I called on the Mayor of Hackney to be less grateful & more outraged at the lack of funding for local authorities & how this means continued cuts

Our Green motion tonight in Hackney calling to scrap the child benefit cap has been gutted by Labour into yet another ‘no money’ excuse. It’s now just a ‘maybe one day’. Hackney has the 3rd worst child poverty rate in London.

Tonight, Hackney Greens will table our budget amendment inc the reversal of Labour’s £500k cut to Hackney Carnival. After clear scaling back post-pandemic, this event deserves investment - not an ice out. We’d work to bring it back to life with community groups at the heart.

Thames Water have been allowed to add another £3 billion to their existing £19 billion of debt. They've run up this bill by paying out huge amounts to bosses and shareholders instead of investing in our water infrastructure. It's time for water to be run for people, not profit.

attack on the peaceful palestine march today by the cops is utterly unconscionable. videos of the violent arrests and testimony of those who were there stating cops have lied about being ‘pushed through’ must galvanise resistance and pushback against increasingly draconian tactics of the state.

The devolution debate in the Commons is peak Starmers Labour. Entirely dressed up in "giving power to local communities" but clearly in detail moving power even further away from citizens. Labour want to transfer public funds to private wealth & don't want people to notice!
