Myself and Cllr @staff_heather visited Exmouth Market this morning to speak to businesses and talk about how we can support them more in future. It’s rightly recognised as a destination for a great evening out and we’re very keen to foster this. Watch this space!

Shocking that @islingtongreens and their leader @greenbenali believe in the eradication of Israel. They also believe that Israelis and Palestinians shouldn’t have the right to self determination of what happens to them. Majority opinion amongst Palestinians is for 2 states.
habibi@habibi_ukOct 9
Last night, Green Party London Assembly member and Islington councillor Benali Hamdache made it clear that he thinks a "one state solution" - that is, no Israel at all - could be just peachy. Add offensive stupidity to the party's long and lengthening list of achievements.

Labour council in Islington passed a motion for rent controls with cabinet councillors pledging a 'visible' campaign and lobbying of Angela Rayner to allow local authorities to take action. Islington was described as facing a 'housing rental emergency' as families are priced out and schools close.

Dear Ange… we demand rent caps!

Time and time again when I'm knocking on doors people tell me they've still got their kids living at home with them. The extreme cost of housing is putting lives on hold across this country. We need an emergency brake on rents. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq74…

Zack Polanski to call for three-year cap on private rent rises

In his speech to his party's conference, the Green leader will frame housing as a key issue of generational fairness.

London’s Irish community is such an important part of the life and character of our city. The contribution Irish Londoners make - economically, culturally and socially - is enormous. Such a brilliant atmosphere at @labourirish tonight 🇮🇪

Replying to @perayahmet @pauleholden
Many of these 6 councils refused to entertain the idea. They blocked discussion. They changed the constitution so they didn’t have to entertain the idea You expect nothing of your Labour peers, and the world of the Greens! Islington does show what is possible

I’m not usually one to defend Zack Polanski, but the idea he doesn’t have at least one single connection to Camden is just nonsense. Look, here he is standing for the council there in 2015… as a Lib Dem… during the austerity coalition…

A reminder that yesterday, today, tomorrow and always: trans women are women and trans men are men. Proud to represent a Borough that recognises that protecting women doesn't need to come at the expense of trans people's safety and dignity.
