Last month I received a call from Ruth. Her business had been broken into again. Her staff were frightened and customers had to knock before they could be let in.

That's why we're calling on @LBHF to install more CCTV on Fulham's high streets👇(1/2)

Hammersmith Bridge has become a symbol of Britain’s national decline.

Labour now admits it may never reopen to cars. Disappointing, but hardly surprising - they’ve never made restoring this vital crossing a priority.

We won’t let this issue die.

. @HFLabour are building a reputation for ignoring residents and ramming through their agenda without consultation.

We’ll always put you first.

It’s Polling Day in Fulham Town!

If you can spare any time today, we need you. It’s neck and neck with Labour — every conversation and every vote will matter.

Let’s get a real local elected. Message me if you can help. Polls open 7am–10pm. Let’s do this!

🗞️ a much needed addition here in Fulham.

I want to thank @AWNDinsmore for his dedication to his constituents and wish him the best.

Claudia Winkleman and her husband are obsessed with bridge and hope to hit the bridge circuit. I’m sure @EBUAylesbury players would warmly welcome them. ♠️❤️

[David Bakhshi @DavidBakhshi]

Bridge in schools is an excellent idea. A Maths teacher introduced me to the game over 30 years ago.

[Liam Downer-Sanderson @DownerSanderson]

♠️ Some may accuse me of bias here but the benefits of bridge are enormous!

♥️ Government SHOULD:
♦�� FUND international teams
♣️ SUPPORT bridge in schools
