Thank you to @HistoryOfStokey for this remembrance post. I also extend my gratitude to Timeline and its founder, Camilla Loewe, for starting the campaign that resulted in this plaque. I am very proud to be involved in this effort alongside Louisa Thomson. One of my proudest achievements as a Stoke Newington Councillor and Hackney Speaker in 2011/12 was helping to raise the funds to share the stories of Coronation Avenue disaster through the publication of the book “Just Like The End Of The World” collected by Camilla Loewe in 2012.

Big thanks to the TMO and all the volunteers 👏🏼

Children growing up in our country deserve the best start in life.

Building on the legacy of Sure Start, we’re opening Best Start Family Hubs in every local authority.

That’s the difference Labour makes.

Excited to be speaking at @SXSW London this week — in the part of the city I grew up in — about how London is leading on climate action: delivering cleaner air, warmer homes, lower bills and greener neighbourhoods 🌍💚
