I have severe concerns about the incoming Coalition in Southwark and whether it will focus on community safety and housing needs. I suspect it’ll McCrash and burn. Time will tell.

It's a little overdue - what a week! - but I am incredibly proud and grateful to have been re-elected as a councillor for Goose Green, and elected Leader of the Southwark Green Party Group.
Thank you to everyone who voted Green, campaigned with us, or supported us along the way.

I am putting myself forward to stand as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party. I look forward to explaining why, over the three short and undemocratic days we have to do so.

Great day with @SouthwarkLabour colleagues who continue to deliver despite the funding challenges over the last 14years.
It was good to have @SadiqKhan join us &outline the importance of working with a labour government. Housing will be central to unlocking the growth we need.

You asked and we did:
New pedestrian crossings for Evelina and Lausanne Roads in Nunhead & Queens Road ward.
