2017: we sought to curate an inclusive global economic hotspot in the ‘long cycle’ industries of the future: 🚀Over 13k STEM³ jobs 🚀£6bn growth investment Thank you to all our partners who made it work. #UpstreamLondon #InclusiveEconomicGrowth #PathwayBond #WestTechCorridor
🌟 LAUNCH OF #UPSTREAM LONDON 🌟 It’s here. Upstream London is the next phase of our mission to achieve inclusive economic growth across H&F and beyond. We are transforming the borough into a global hotspot of innovation and growth for businesses and local people.
Reform have no idea. Labour will reform the water sector to halve the levels of pollution in our waterways by 2030.
Excellent write up of the @LGAcomms Review of @LBHF finances. Hammersmith & Fulham Council was praised for its financial leadership, ambition & how we’ve cut costs. Ruthless Financial Efficiency is at the heart of everything we do. Thanks to all involved mylondon.news/news/west-lond…
Together, we are making the NHS fit for the future.
People with disabilities are disproportionately affected by conflict, and the climate and nature crisis. That's why Minister for Equalities @SeemaMalhotra1 reaffirmed the UK's commitment to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities at the @UN #COSP18.
A very, very welcome move. The UK is a #GlobalSciTechSuperpower so this smart investment really plays to our strengths and secures a stronger British economic and security future such as we have at #UpstreamLondon and @WCIDLondon
Great to talk to @bbclaurak this morning about priorities for this government and @SciTechgovuk kicking off with our £86 billion investment in R&D to create the innovations of the future, making space for innovation and supporting our economy.
Today, Labour is announcing over half a million more children will receive free school meals. This will put nearly £500 more in parents’ pockets and lift 100,000 children out of poverty.
The H&F Green Investment has already raised over £2.5m - more than any similar scheme in the UK. Residents can see its impact in the community gardens, bike hangars & flood prevention it's funded locally. While investors enjoy above inflation returns & the council saves money.

Such a shocking and upsetting incident. Thoughts are will everyone affected ❤️
We are in direct contact with Merseyside Police regarding the incident on Water Street which happened towards the end of the trophy parade earlier this evening. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been affected by this serious incident. We will continue to offer…
It’s time to look forward — to move on from the stale old political fights and to find common sense, practical solutions that improve the lives of British people. Secure borders. Cheaper bills. More jobs. We will close a deal in the national interest.
To mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, Hammersmith & Fulham council is cutting Council Tax for veterans by 25%. Freedom doesn’t come free. This small token is a mark of thanks for the risks our Armed Forces take to defend our country every day. lbhf.gov.uk/news/2025/05/h…
An extraordinary celebration for an extraordinary generation. Thank you to all our Armed Forces personnel who ensured today was such a fitting tribute to the heroes of the Second World War. #VEDay80
A salute to the generation that restored freedom to Europe 80 years ago. From a grateful nation. #VEDay80
“Rachel Reeves and I are working together really closely because she recognises that defence is an engine for growth in this country.” Defence secretary @JohnHealey_MP tells #TimesRadio defence spending can “be part of the mission” to “bring prosperity to this country.”
One day, many years from now, a future Labour grandee will give a Gordon Brown-style speech listing everything the government achieved. That list is already being written. It’s time to start saying it – and saying it loudly.
Getting seen sooner by your GP, with better care in a modernised GP practice. That’s what my Plan for Change is delivering. We’re investing in GP surgeries to create over 8 million more appointments this year.
So we get a letter out of the blue from the Leader of Kensington on Tuesday pm asking @CityWestminster to provide £12m towards South Kensington station, our chief exec agrees to meet theirs Thursday morning to find out what is going on but K&C brief the press before it happens.
Very sad to learn of the death of Pope Francis. I admired him greatly. His emphasis on care for the marginalised and compassion for all defined his leadership. euronews.com/my-europe/2025…
Labour’s Plan for Change is working for our NHS. Over 3 million more appointments delivered. Over 1,500 new GPs recruited. Over 100,000 more people treated on time. Waiting lists down for the sixth month in a row.
