It’s been a busy month of canvassing in Higham Hill and helping out colleagues in other areas like Redbridge and Chingford. I’ve been rubbish at posting pics so here’s a selection!

Heroes don’t have to wear capes ❤️ www.bbc.com/news/article... Very upsetting at how much hate / evil still exists in the world for this to happen at all 😞 Thoughts and prayers with the victims and their families.

Proud that a Labour Government has scrapped this cruel, inhumane policy that the IFS estimates will lift 600,000 children out of poverty. Governments have to do the right moral thing, show leadership and not just blindly follow opinion polls of public opinion.

Such ugly efforts to stop Mamdani winning - the level of anti-Muslim bigotry thrown around during the campaign should not be forgotten

For many years I have supported the call to recognise Palestine as a state, as part of a two state solution alongside the state of Israel. Now more than ever standing for Palestine’s existence matters as part of securing an end to the horrors of Gaza. 1/4

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 23/07/2025
The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood. There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.
Statement from the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan that reads: 'The absolutely harrowing scenes of suffering in Gaza are being made worse by the day, with no sign of the crisis abating. Starving children searching hopelessly for food in the rubble. Family members shot dead by Israeli soldiers as they search for aid. In heartbreaking scenes, innocent lives are being torn apart before the eyes of the world.
 
The international community - including our own government - must do far more to pressure the Israeli government to stop this horrific, senseless killing and let vital life-saving aid in. Nothing justifies the actions of the Israeli government.
 
The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood. There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.'

If Reform can’t competently fill out a council nomination form or know which ward to stand in then imagine what they would be like in local Govt as your local councillor. Vote 🌹 Labour in May - not only are we experienced in filling out nominations forms but we work hard for our local residents too.

You probably read this weekend the government was watering down the workers rights bill. Having looked at the amendments, there’s no weakening of anything, in most cases it’s been toughened up. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
