In 2022, Ofsted told Lambeth our children’s services required improvement.

Today they rate them Good overall - with Outstanding support for care leavers.

We accepted their challenge and focused relentlessly on improving outcomes for young people… 🧵

[Lambeth Council @lambeth_council]

Ofsted has said that Children's Services in Lambeth have dramatically improved since our last inspection in 2022 💪🥳

We are now rated as 'good', with outstanding support for care leavers ❤️

Great to be out campaigning with my friend Louie tonight. I’ve known him for over a decade & he’ll be a strong voice for Clapham Park.

He’s the only candidate in the by-election who has lived around Brixton Hill his entire life.

Local communities deserve local representation💪

Henry Nowak’s death is being exploited by the far right. But the problem is wider. Fringe politics, left & right, turns tragedy into political opportunity, disagreement into betrayal, & opponents into enemies. That corrodes public life & degrades politics

Zack Polanski in 2016 making the point that rent controls don’t work.

When he was a proud Lib Dem and before he became a ‘radical socialist’.

Cue: pile on from devoted fans.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Green by-election candidate Chris Kennedy shared posts on social media describing an attack on Jewish ambulances in north London as a “false flag”

When approached by The Times, he apologised for the posts and quit today citing "personal reasons"

The Green Party continues to employ an antisemitic conspiracy theorist as their main filmmaker. Jeremy Clancy’s latest campaign video was for newly elected Hackney mayor Zoë Garbett, one of many he has made for Zack Polanski’s party.🧵1/3

One city. 9 million people. All of us Londoners. We will never be divided.

[Ben Kind @benkind]

Case in point. No one asked me for the facts. No one checked. Just a false claim as if it must be true. For the record I do not rent a house for myself or own rental property as a landlord. My register of interests was up to date. This kind of bad-faith stuff makes politics worse

Thank you to everyone in Lambeth who put their trust in me over 12 years, to the staff at Lambeth Council, and to the residents, volunteers and community organisations in Brixton Rush Common who do so much for our area. None of this work is ever done alone

[Ben Kind @benkind]

Politics has changed a lot over the last 12 years - online debate is harsher, anti-incumbent politics is much stronger, and sadly too many are quick to assume the worst motives. Serious public service still matters though and I hope all councillors in Lambeth will put that first

[Brixton Rush Common Labour @RushCommonLab]

Tomorrow is polling day.

Thank you to everyone who has spoken with us, supported us & worked with us over the last 4 years.

If you want a local team with experience, delivery & deep roots in the area, please vote for Marcia Cameron, Adrian Garden & Ben Kind tomorrow

[Clapham Town Labour Councillors @ClaphamTownLab]

Clapham deserves better then this.

Promise made. Promise kept.

A change that will impact so many lives for the better, thanks to this Labour Government.

Zack Polanski liked post claiming Zionists control Government - Telegraph 🤷🏻‍♂️👇🏽 https://t.co/Qgj51gAEUL

[David Pinto-Duschinsky MP @DavidPintoD]

Zack Polanski and Nigel Farage. Two politicians who couldn't be any more different. Right?

Wrong. They’re actually pretty similar. Here’s why 👇

[Steven Swinford @Steven_Swinford]

Exclusive:

Zack Polanski falsely claimed to be a spokesman for the British Red Cross while crowdfunding his campaign for deputy leader of the Green Party, @JamesSBeal reveals

The Times has uncovered disputed claims among the past experiences listed on his former website and independent promotional pages

They include his repeated assertion to have acted as a “spokesperson” for the British Red Cross, which he put on his site and two donation pages while running for deputy leader in 2022. He said he was "really proud of the work we do"

The British Red Cross told The Times that Polanski “has not been a spokesperson” and said it had raised the claim with the politician’s team

In response, the Green Party said Polanski had been a host “for several fundraisers for the British Red Cross” and had been on stage supporting their work
