Private renting leaves too many in shocking conditions, paying thousands to landlords each month.

Labour is thankfully strengthening renters’ rights and fixing the broken system.

Proud to speak in favour of our @IslingtonLabour motion at #IslingtonFC last week:

I was proud to speak at tonight’s menorah lighting at Islington Green to mark the last night of Hanukkah.

The vandalism of the menorah lights this morning was a disgraceful hate crime and isn’t welcome in Islington.

I’m proud that our community showed that this evening

The maternity ward at the Whittington hospital is again under threat - we need to fight together to protect it.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The NHS will survive so long as there are people willing to fight for it.

In Islington North, we will always defend a health service that is fully-public, fully-funded and free at the point of use.

[Islington Labour 🌹 #OnYourSide @IslingtonLabour]

Islington's Labour-run Council has been at the forefront of opposing the Home Office's evictions of asylum seekers, which have led to more homelessness.

This news is a great start, but now we need a permanent ban on evictions and proper support for migrants #OnYourSide

The Government's Rwanda plan is shameful and cruel - and has now been confirmed as unlawful by the Supreme Court.

Here in Islington, our diversity is our strength and we will always stand on the side of refugees and asylum seekers. (1/2)

[London Councils @londoncouncils]

Ending the freeze on Local Housing Allowance is the single fastest way the government can reverse the deeply concerning rise in homelessness in London and across the country.

Ahead of next week's #AutumnStatement, we've sent a cross-party letter to @Jeremy_Hunt urging an increase in Local Housing Allowance.

With one in 50 Londoners currently homeless and living in temporary accommodation, we need the government to help us address the homelessness emergency unfolding in the capital.
