Lambeth is in a financial crisis. But the Greens, now leading the council, proposed:
1. A higher allowance for the council leader.
2. Higher allowances for the two deputy council leaders and 7 full time equivalent Cabinet Members.
In 2021 Lambeth Greens proposed scrapping many cabinet allowances
In 2022 they campaigned to scrap them
In 2024/25/26 they proposed massively cutting them
Within weeks of taking office in 2026 they proposed the most expensive allowances scheme on the table
Quite a journey 💸
@PactFaithAction Such an inspiring evening. I loved Archbishop introduced the concept of "initialisms" and acronyms to guide faith, such as FROG (Fully Rely On God) and my new favourite PUSH (Pray Until Something Happens) 🙏🏾
I wasn’t re‑elected as a @LambethLabour Cllr.
Proud that in 8yrs I focused on people who are seen but not heard.
From refugees, reducing period poverty, & fundraising for a community washing machine.
Taking a pause now. But the devil makes work for idle hands… watch this space.
Great work is being done but still
• Carers reporting discrimination
• Language & cultural needs overlooked
• Poorer transitions between services
• Under‑reporting of deaths

I raised inequalities affecting BAME autistic people
@NHS_RHO shows:

• Missed adjustments
• Discrimination
Action needed now⚖️

💬 “These sessions make me feel better.”
Running in prisons across the country, Making Positive Connections supports people who don’t receive visits. At HMP Nottingham, low‑key sessions offer space to talk, connect and feel less isolated.
Relationships matter.
Proud to serve as a Governor at @KingsCollegeNHS showing me the vital work that is happening every day.
Change only happens when nothing is treated as taboo.

Pleased to see BAME Labour relaunched today one of Labour’s longstanding affiliated socialist societies: https://t.co/LPkS0C4KNs
It’s been a privilege to have been on the working group to revive BAME Labour. I’d encourage all BAME Labour members to join and shape its future.
“We are poorer, we're weaker, and we're more isolated as a country after Brexit. We're not a nation renewed, we're a nation diminished. And that's why more people are thinking about the future of our relationship with Europe as we approach the 10th anniversary of the referendum. And in our new publication, Pressing Reset, we explore what the future relationship with the European Union could look like.”

Keir Starmer's 'Love Actually' moment (sort of) at liaison committee after weeks of insults from Donald Trump.
Asked about the US president's "quite rude" comments, PM said: “A lot of what is said or done is undoubtedly said and done to put pressure on me, I have no doubt about that. I understand what is going on.
“But I am not going to waver on this. I am the British Prime Minister and my job is to be absolutely focused on what is in the British national interest."
