@GaryGazza777 @Southwark_News Residents will judge all of us on delivery, not social media one-liners. That’s the standard we should all be aiming for.

King's College Hospital in London has opened a rooftop garden for critical care patients. Its first patient, a 29-year-old woman dependent on feeding tubes, said the outdoor space gave her 'a real boost to keep on going

I'm delighted that the planning inspectorate has backed @lb_southwark in turning down Berkeley Homes' Aylesham shopping centre application - which both reduced retail space & provided just 12% social housing.

Well done to the local councillors & residents who made the case.

[Richard Livingstone @Livingstone_RJ]

Fantastic to have @LucyMPowell 's support for @evenor23 @MichaelSitu and me for @OKR_Labour for Thursday!

@VMMChamberlain @AngelaRayner @AbdiDuale_ At this point, the facts aren’t hidden, they’re just being politely ignored.

[Richard Livingstone @Livingstone_RJ]

@VMMChamberlain @GaryGazza777 @AngelaRayner @AbdiDuale_ So please do keep up.

Over the last 8 years, Southwark has built 167% of the council homes delivered by all three Lib Dem councils in London combined!

Only @SouthwarkLabour can deliver the council homes we need. The Lib Dem record is atrocious.

“When you’re k!II!ng Zimbabweans, Mozambicans, Nigerians, Somalians here in South Africa and calling them all sorts of names, today you’re holding a placard and saying Black Lives Matter when you support the k!II!ng of your own fellow black brothers & sisters in South Africa. We must not say South Africa first, we must say black first”

Privileged to celebrate Ghana’s Independence Day with the Ghana High Commissioner last month.

Marking 69 years since Ghana gained independence from Britain, the occasion reflected on Ghana's rich history and recognised the enduring strength of UK–Ghana relations today.

Lowering the cost of living in a fair way ⚖️

A 7% cut in energy bills means real savings for households across the country.

Those with the broadest shoulders contributing more so support reaches the people who need it most.

Five missing black women, mainly from Nigeria and Kenya, were found in different water bodies with missing organs in the United Kingdom, yet the mainstream media is silent and the useless African government can't call this out.
