Representation matters and Hackney Council’s diversity is why I’m proud to be part of a council where we have women at the top of the organisation for the first time.

✅ 55% of cabinet members are women
✅ 40% of commission chairs are women
✅ And for the first time ever, Hackney’s Mayor is a woman

This is not what he said and they know it. Something very disturbing has happened to much of the British press and a fair amount of conservative politics. The extremist Musk tail wagging the formerly mainstream dog.

John was our voice.

He made us feel we had a right to be in Westminster.

He was the first to give the North of England a political profile and paved the way for the devolution of powers to it.

He made politics real and lifted the lives of millions.

He was Our John.

RIP
