Thank you to all our partners who made it work.

🌟 LAUNCH OF #UPSTREAM LONDON 🌟
It’s here. Upstream London is the next phase of our mission to achieve inclusive economic growth across H&F and beyond.
We are transforming the borough into a global hotspot of innovation and growth for businesses and local people.

This week, London Councils brought the collective voice of London local government to #LabourConference in Liverpool, with two well-attended events focused on London’s future and the next phase of devolution.
Thank you to our speakers, partners and everyone who joined us.

Andy Burnham is right that ‘hope comes from honesty’.
That’s why Labour must make the case for rejoining the EU ⬇️

@londoncouncils highlights this is a moment to be optimistic. Rewiring the state is a chance to make London work better – with good growth in every postcode, healthier lives, and a capital that helps create better life chances across the UK.

Writing in @PoliticsHome, our Chair Cllr @StephenCowan has set out why the Government's #RewiringTheState agenda must mean taking a fresh look at evolving #London's governance 🌆⚡️

Vape shops. Betting shops. Dodgy businesses.
If you look at your high street these days and think ‘who asked for this?’, you’re not alone.
I’m doing something about it. We’re giving local people and councils more control over what opens, and tougher powers to crack down on businesses that aren’t good for our communities.
For too long, Westminster has stood by while our high streets declined. That ends now.

Our response to the Prime Minister's #devolution announcement - a share of council tax will be devolved to Mayoral Strategic Authorities. #teamlondon #localgov @StephenCowan

Very cool, entertaining and with high production values: if I were @Nigel_Farage, I’d consider dipping into that £5 million to try to get out a video that can compare to it.

Boroughs are committed to working with each other and with key partners to tackle London’s challenges.
As our new chair Cllr @StephenCowan says, we are determined to make Londoners proud.

Ten years ago today, millions voted for Britain to leave the EU. But it hasn't worked, has it?
In a less safe world, closer EU ties – trade without red tape, youth mobility, defence – make sense.
Let's be hopeful and ambitious for a stronger, safer, happier, European future.
My thoughts are with the victims of this latest antisemitic terrorist attack in Golders Green. In Hammersmith & Fulham, our message to Jewish people is we stand with you and will always face down antisemites and the hatemongers who seek to harm our treasured Jewish citizens.
Absolutely the right way forward for Britain. Thank you @SadiqKhan. Being in the EU would bring greater prosperity to the UK’s towns and cities, it would strengthen our security and offer all our citizens a much brighter future. The Brexit decade damaged Britain. Let’s fix that
The evidence is overwhelming: Brexit has been a disaster for London and the UK.
Rejoining the EU is now clearly in our national interest. The option to rejoin should be on the ballot at the next General Election.
