Today, there is a UK-EU summit to discuss working together on things that just make sense. Like shorter queues at airports, security cooperation and youth mobility. Yesterday, I discussed it with @bbclaurak.bsky.social

It makes absolute sense that we should work with our European allies with whom we have shared security, trade and economic interests. It is right for the Government to forge closer ties with our counterparts on the continent.

This VE Day, it is important to remember the very real impact of the Second World War on people's lives, with thousands of bombs falling on houses across the local area during the Blitz.🧵 Maps courtesy of @layersoflondon.bsky.social www.layersoflondon.org/map/overlays...

On VE Day, we remember the sacrifice of civilians and soldiers alike in our fight for freedom and democracy. Among the thousands of bombs dropped on the area, a huge explosive penetrated the road and killed 68 people sheltering inside Balham Station.

Fantastic to be out on the doorstep chatting to voters in Balham this weekend with our amazing team of Labour councillors and activists. Labour run Wandsworth has frozen council tax for the third year in a row, keeping pounds in your pocket.

Proud to be voted Trade Union of the Year at this year’s SME4Labour awards. Small and medium enterprises are a hugely important part of our economy and their interests are best served by a Labour government, working in partnership with business and unions.

Seen lots of fascinating anecdotes about John Prescott, but this one, from my Council colleague Cllr Tony Belton, tops them all!
Prezza, aka John Prescott, died on 21st November, and with him, some people argue, an old-style Labour brand. I do not know about that, but I do have one very clear memory of him. I was sitting at home one Saturday afternoon watching one of the autumn rugby internationals. The year was 1997 and Labour had stormed into power on 1st May.
 
I was the Leader of Wandsworth Labour councillors and had recently written an angry letter to John, the Deputy Prime Minister, protesting that he had recently walked around Battersea Park with Wandsworth’s Tory leadership without informing anyone in Wandsworth’s Labour Party, and that despite John making improved communications between the Government and Labour councillors a major theme. I didn’t expect anything other than a formal civil service acknowledgement.
The phone rang, “on my way to Heathrow and the Kyoto climate change conference”, John spat out, “thought I’d give you a ring about the Battersea Park event”. I was so surprised that I do not recall the rest of the conversation, but I do remember that I could not make sense of the syntax, nor of some of his sentences. But I do remember the meaning, the apology, and the thought that Prezza made a point of ringing me, whilst he was on the way to being a prime mover at one of the world’s most important ever conferences.
I much appreciated the thought then and have done ever more so since.

From today, the junction of Earlsfield Road with Garratt Lane is closed for gas pipe repairs. Magdalen and Penwith Roads remain closed and the 77 bus is diverted via Garratt Lane and East Hill. I have made clear to SGN that I expect this work to be completed in a timely manner.

Anybody closely following the nail-biter which is the California 13th election? Thrilling, even after 2 weeks.

More than 6,600 children across Wandsworth are benefitting from @mayorofldn.bsky.social's Free School Meals initiative. Over 80% of families say the help from City Hall has improved their household finances.

On Transgender Day of Remembrance we must stand against the hatred that has led to the death of 350 trans people across the world this past year. Bigotry can never win. I will always be an ally.
