It was fantastic to see so many people attend the reopening of #Beckenham Library today after a big revamp. @floellabenjamin.bsky.social was guest of honour along with Stella the cat. A total honour to meet them both! @liamconlon.bsky.social @joshclockhouse.bsky.social @jessicaarnold.bsky.social

It was an honour to re-open the Beckenham Library today with the Mayor of Bromley and my friend the Baroness of Beckenham, Floella Benjamin.

Our refurbished library will be invaluable in promoting education and literacy, and building community.

Delighted to see it reopen! 📚

CAMPAIGN WIN: Together we’ve forced Bromley Conservatives to U-turn on their plans to charge Blue Badge holders!

This is the right decision. But it’s been a waste of time, a waste money, and caused distress to vulnerable residents

Disabled MP calls to scrap 'cruel' parking charges plan A petition against the scheme passed 4,000 signatures this week

I’m continuing to call on Bromley Conservatives to cancel their cruel plans to charge disabled Blue Badge holders

They’d be the first and only London Council to do so. It’s time they listened to local residents who are overwhelmingly opposed 👇

Shockingly, a Hayes & Coney Hall Conservative Councillor attending the 20 November meeting said he agreed with the installation of car park charges for bays and disabled bays.

4/4

Cllr Alisa Igoe said: “Charging for car parking would have dissuaded many people from visiting a much loved park, where so many healthy activities such as Park Run take place. The Conservatives were also intending to charge Blue Badge holders to park but have thankfully changed their minds.”

3/4

The decision follows Labour councillors challenging parking charges at Bromley's Environment Committee on 20 November, when all Conservative Councillors except one supported the plans.

#itstartswithmen Today, I'm wearing a white ribbon. Violence against women is never acceptable. Today is about changing men's attitudes.

Great opportunity to meet with many from the Clock House community at St James’ church with @liamconlonlabour.bsky.social and @joshclockhouse.bsky.social

Lots of case work to follow up!

Thanks to everyone in Liam’s team for organising a very successful event!

The same newspapers who scream increases in the national minimum wage will damage the economy, are happy to go to the barricades for a tax break for Clarkson, Dyson & friends.

BREAKING: Former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott has died, aged 86.

His family say he passed away to the sound of jazz music at his care home, where he'd been living with Alzheimers in recent years.

A towering Labour figure - Blair couldn't have governed without him.

Er, er, er......

Picture of Jeremy Clarkson with his 2010 quote: “Land is a better investment than any bank can offer. The govt doesn’t get any of my money when I die.”

Narrator voice: “Little did he know…”

And THAT is exactly how people with a huge sense of entitlement regularly behave when they get caught out.

Working life will improve for almost half a MILLION young zero-hours workers aged 16-24, thanks to the Employment Rights Bill, our research shows.

Over 400,000 18-20s will also benefit from a minimum wage increase to £10/hour. The earning gulf between discriminatory age bands will start closing.

French singer-songwriter Charles Dumont has died at the age of 95. 68 years ago he wrote what would become an Edith Piaf classic: Non, je ne regrette rien.
