City Hall are funding free school meals for all primary school children in London - starting this week.
Here’s @JamieOliver on @BBCr4today explaining why it’ll make a huge difference for our children.

Here's what's causing it 🧵
To celebrate World Car Free Day next month, we're encouraging residents to organise a play street or street party, supporting the council’s ambitious Streets for People strategy to improve the air we breathe in Southwark https://t.co/ckCR5JHqSd
🚨We are pleased that the ULEZ expansion is going ahead as planned.
Air pollution is a public health emergency contributing to 4,000 early deaths in London every year. This is a positive step towards cleaner air across the city, allowing Londoners to breathe more easily.

Will you #StandWithAnne? Anne, a retired piano teacher, activist and force of nature, describes herself as “not your average 68 year old”! This year, Anne was told that she would need a stem cell transplant to treat her myelofibrosis, but a matching donor is yet to be found.
The final @BCEReviews boundary commission report is out. It's a real disappointment to see Camberwell split between three different parliamentary constituencies.
A (pretty faint) silver lining is that the Boundary Commission listened to my and others suggestion to rename...
Save Burgess Park's Clubhouse Cafe! It's a great community asset and it would be a terrible shame to lose it. The cafe also raises much need funds for some great causes. #Camberwell#walworth

Snow and freezing temperatures are back across the country. This can be life-threatening for people sleeping rough.
