London Assembly Labour 🌹

After 14 years of Tory cuts to the Met, Labour's Mayor & Government are delivering record investment—finally turning the tide. Scrapping borough front counters breaks the promise of the New Met for London plan. This isn’t the policing Londoners voted for. Read my statement ⤵️

💂🏻 Should #London have a #TourismTax ? It's the question on a lot of people's minds... We asked 1,000 Londoners what they thought and here's what our survey said ⤵️

Our Environment Lead @LeonieC is calling for public ownership of @thameswater following recommendations published this week to strengthen regulation of the water industry. Londoners deserve a water system that works. @LBCNews 👇

What a missed opportunity the #CunliffeReport is, not considering other ownership models beyond privatisation. Good to see the recommendations to sort the regulatory shambles, but given #WaterCompanies are dodging bonus restrictions by hiking pay, they’re not changing, are they…

My official statement on today’s reports that the Met are considering closing over half of our police stations👇

Organisations like @SBSisters , @EalingAdvice & Hillingdon4All provide essential support to households across Ealing, Hillingdon and beyond. Last week I asked the Mayor about measures he would take to ensure funding for such services were maintained for years to come. ⤵️

Today we remember the 7/7 bombings 20 years on. I still have lots of memories of that awful day. Earlier today, I laid a wreath and represented the London Assembly at a very moving memorial service. We’ve come out stronger in tackling terrorism and hate in all its forms since.

On the 20th anniversary of the 7/7 London bombings, we remember the 52 people who lost their lives and all those injured and affected. Our short film reflects on how the emergency services, the NHS and Londoners came together with bravery and courage to care for those in need.

Today marks 20 years since the 7/7 London bombings. We remember the 52 lives lost that day, the 770 injured, and the families of all affected. Thank you to the first responders who showed extraordinary courage and tireless commitment to the safety of Londoners – both in the…

At the 7/7 Memorial in Hyde Park, I joined the Prime Minister and representatives of our emergency services to lay a wreath to honour the 52 people whose lives were cruelly stolen. Our thoughts and prayers remain with all of their loved ones and all those who were injured.

A moving ceremony this morning at City Hall to celebrate our wonderful Armed Forces 🇬🇧 Their commitment to keep us safe in the most challenging of times should never be forgotten. Thank you! #ArmedForcesDay
