Great to see trees being planted on a Sunday morning on Gray's Inn Road; part of Camden's work to plant 600 trees a year.

Thanks to Camden Labour's commitment to tackling climate change, we are on course for a quarter of Camden having tree cover. 🌳🌳

Great to be on the #LabourDoorstep in Fortune Green with my co-councillor, Lorna Greenwood, London Assembly Member, Anne Clarke and Mark Guthrie.

Good conversations about estate improvements, tackling crime, and taking up case work for individuals.

Great news that our Labour government is giving #Camden nearly £700,000 additional funding to help tackle homelessness.

Our share of #Labour marking #WorldHomelessnessDay by providing councils nationwide with extra £84 million to boost #homelessness prevention.

Labour making a difference.

Delighted to have voted for Bridget Phillipson as Labour's next deputy leader.

Someone who will focus on campaigning, policy, delivery, organisation and electoral preparedness. The true purpose of Labour's deputy leader.

Daily Telegraph running a nasty story attacking Camden’s support for refugees and asylum seekers, with truly vile comments from national and Camden Tories.

Not repeating the story but here is my response:

Delighted to be at Holborn Community Association’s building community event with councillor Anna Wright, celebrating HCA’s work supporting people in the community of all ages.

At Hampstead School for #GCSE results this morning.

Congratulations to every student. Great results and a testimony to them, the school and Camden Learning, for overcoming the effects of COVID lockdowns during their primary/secondary transition years.

Well done!

My mother took me for lunch here when I was 11 and I’ll always remember we had strawberries out of season, an absolute first for both of us 🤩

And in case you’re wondering, the revolving restaurant does still revolve…

Some great old telecoms kit in the BT Tower, which will find their way into museums and elsewhere in the public domain, I’m sure.

Starting at the top.

First meeting of the day in Camden’s tallest building.

Good to meet #BTTower new owners, MCR Hotels, for site visit and to hear their plans for its future. A great opportunity to open this London icon to public, to support local economy and community.

A great @CamdenLabour team out this evening, with our West Hampstead by-election candidate, Francesca Reynolds (@CescaReynolds).

Lots of doorstep conversations on schools, transport, the need for new affordable housing.

EXCLUSIVE: Tory councillor abused store staff and threatens to shut the shop over parcel dispute - Better Retailing A Conservative councillor has been urged to step down, after threatening to shut down a retailer’s shop and physically abusing staff

Deputy Leader of Camden Tories Shiva Tiwari’s abusive behaviour towards shop staff — in a business in his own ward — is appalling & wholly unacceptable.

This falls far below the standards expected of any Camden Cllr.

Shiva must resign & the whip must immediately be removed.

At #LGAConf25, delighted to put pen to canvas to confirm @CamdenCouncil joining the Cooperative Councils Innovation Network.

All the sweeter to sign up as Camden’s first official Labour and Coop Party Leader.

Great to be at Glastonbury…Street party!

Huge thanks to all the organisers for putting on such a fabulous community event.

I just happened to be passing #Camden’s London AI Campus, as Keir Starmer announced £187 million of govt funding to bring #digital and #AI skills into classrooms and communities, so I posted this on #TikTok vm.tiktok.com/ZNdSEHAF7/

In Camden, we believe we will be a fairer, more creative and innovative place to work, visit and live in if we can harness different perspectives and experience.

That’s why we are fully committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion.

A perfect sunny day on the #LabourDoorstep in Gospel Oak with @MarcusBoyland, @LarraineRevah, Matt Sudlow and Ffion.

Listening to residents in the Isokon Building and surrounding streets, discussing action on crime, our high-performing schools and supporting cycling.

In addition to celebrating #VEDay80, today is personally poignant, as it is the 80th anniversary of the US Army liberating Mauthausen concentration camp in central Austria, where my father was a prisoner.

Always thankful for the men and women who gave so much to liberate us all from Nazi tyranny.
