Everyone was excited when @MayorJohnBiggs joined in half term events @VickyParkLondon today. There’s plenty more fun to come this week. See what’s on here: https://t.co/WsCRizpLtb
Over 100 Parliamentarians have signed my letter urging @PMTheresaMay_, @uk_chancellor and @EstherMcVey1 to scrap the cruel two-child limit policy to prevent pushing millions of children into poverty. https://t.co/B1TaEGd1kF
I’m sending this letter to @thesundaytimes in response to their publishing of Rod Liddle’s incendiary and hateful column on Sunday. Calling for Anjem Choudary to blow himself up in Tower Hamlets is not only disrespectful to the people of this borough, but also our history.
As part of @MayorJohnBiggs commitment to building 1.000 Council homes. @TowerHamletsNow is proposing to build 10 new energy efficient social rented family homes on this car park site. I popped round to see the plans this morning.
We have revoked the alcohol licence for a store in Limehouse after police and council officers found the premises selling canisters of nitrous oxide or ‘laughing gas’. Almost 13,500 canisters of nitrous oxide were seized: https://t.co/p3ovNdodWk #NoLaughingMatter
Keeping Londoners safe is my top priority as Mayor. Our new Violence Reduction Unit brings together experts from councils, charities & community groups across London to form a new public health approach to tackling serious violence.
Just some of over 150 coaches of wonderful people from Wales 🏴, Scotland 🏴�� & all parts of England 🏴 heading to the @peoplesvote_uk march. This ain’t no liberal, metropolitan, elite -it’s people from every walk of life, from all of the UK 🇬🇧 https://t.co/fs1LAMPpn9 #PeopesVote
Earlier today I spoke at the @ChildhoodTrust#LondonChildPovertySummit about the devastating impact Government cuts have had on child poverty in my constituency. It’s a disgrace that over half of the children in Bethnal Green and Bow live in poverty.
Today in the Chamber, I called on the Government to abolish its two child policy limiting the level of support for low income families as part of Universal Credit. This has already affected 400,000 children and left families £4000 a year worse off. https://t.co/L0BKAk14lh
