Barbaric.

Mass starvation spreading across Gaza, aid agencies warn, as pressure on Israel grows – Middle East crisis live More than 100 aid agencies, including Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children and Oxfam, say ‘our colleagues and those we serve are wasting away’

In a land of plenty, there are children who like this. This is inhumane and we must see action.

Lovely day at BATCA's Broadwater Road Funday.
Unveiling of blue plaque for Constance Cummings-John, who became a councillor in Sierra Leone at 20 and later Mayor of Freetown, later coming to live at 20, Broadwater Rd in Tooting until her death in 2000, being Burntwood, Boadwater &Fircroft Schools.

Visited the truly impressive, Barn Elms Sports Centre.
Tennis, rugby, football, mini-soccer, Gaelic games, beach volleyball, a gym and a council owned rowing club, all here on the banks of the Thames.
Would be great to see more facilities, as the borough lacks sports pitches

The barriers are being changed. Contact me on Cllr.p.white@wandsworth.gov.uk for details.
