Good to be out in #SE16 again today - listening to local people and hosting an extra community surgery in the Lewington Centre. Drop me a line if you’d like a slot in your street or estate if you live locally. Always happy to help!
The Tories for 14 years (& LibDems in Coalition for 5) ignored the relentless rise of homelessness and rough sleeping that their policies caused.
Labour Ministers will tackle the problem.
@Phillm362 Maybe you should see the stats: 1) on reduced numbers under Labour already and 2) on the damage Farage and Johnson did to the economy with Brexit.

Too many people talk down young people and talk down our future. We should be proud of these local results and more optimistic for Southwark’s next generation!

Big @boslabour team out in #SE1 this morning helping local people. Sad to hear Green councillors elected in May are invisible. Too busy trying to cut mental health and dementia services to respond to constituents it seems.
I think it's fair to say that's not a great night for Nigel Farage and Reform UK

LibDem/Green council proposed cuts to mental health and dementia services, is failing to run the emergency homeless helpline - but wants to spend hundreds of thousands extra on meetings for councillors… No one asked for this.
Priorities are skewed.
Southwark Labour replaced Community Councils because they were totally unrepresentative of our communities.
The council should not be wasting up to £2 million per year of public money to bring back a system that failed residents before.
