No child should suffer as Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah did.

I’ll continue to do everything in my power to clean up London’s toxic air & put pressure on the Govt to do more to prevent needless deaths.

Breathing clean air should be a right, not a privilege.

When examining the care of Black, Asian and White women whose babies died, high quality care was only found in a minority of the baby deaths which were reviewed. Many deaths may have been prevented with better care. @TIMMSleicester @NPEU_Oxford @mbrrace

Earlier today I wrote to local residents to outline my position on tonight’s votes.

If we’re serious about ending this war and ending the cycle of violence we need to pursue the hard yards of international diplomacy.

That’s what I voted for this evening - without hesitation 👇🏻

‘Why health and wellbeing should be at centre of urban planning’ - @Guardian

A five-year study of 260,000 working people in the UK has found that people who cycled to work were healthier and living longer than those who commuted by car. Along with people who walked to work, cycling commuters also had lower rates of heart disease.

Putting public money into local amenities such as shops, schools, healthcare and social spaces such as parks, pubs and restaurants can create opportunities to walk, cycle or use public transport for the things we do every day. This is at the heart of the modern 15-minute city concept. It was also the pattern for villages, towns and cities before the second half of the 20th century.

“Creating environments where every essential is within a 15-minute walk or bike ride fosters consistent physical activity. This diminishes risks associated with a sedentary lifestyle and elevates air quality,” according to Prof Carlos Moreno

It is not just health that is improved, according to Moreno, who says the low-traffic designs also amplify quality of life and wellbeing. “They champion green spaces and shared communal areas, nurturing the mental health of residents and strengthening communal ties.”

Too often citizens think that restrictions and costs are imposed by a city council to pester them. We need more co-creation and engagement to create and implement a vision of a sustainable, livable and healthy city.

In recent days, both @TellMamaUK & @CST_UK have reported 300%+ increases in the reporting of Islamophobic & antisemitic incidents.

I stand with Jewish & Muslim Londoners. Hate crime in London will simply not be tolerated.

Those responsible will face the full force of the law.
