Proud to see Pinner’s most famous former resident backing Labour! Elton’s right - vote Labour to change our country for the better. 🌹 @eltonofficial thank you for your support. I hope after July 4th, I have the honor of serving the residents of Ruislip, Northwood, and Pinner.
🚨 BREAKING: Sir Elton John has just backed Labour in a video message to their party rally “There is only one choice… let's show the world what a creative, prosperous and forward thinking nation Britain is. Let's get behind Labour to win on 4 July.”

I know how proud David Simmonds is of his work in Parliament, but he seems to have missed this off his own leaflets. It's only right that residents of Ruislip, Northwood & Pinner know about his track record.

It’s worth watching this exchange between @Nigel_Farage & @TrevorPTweets Farage: we have a growing number of young people in this country who do not subscribe to British values. In fact, loathe much of what we stand for. Philips: Who are we talking about there? Nigel Farage: Oh, I think we see them on the streets of London every Saturday Phillips: Are we talking about Muslims here? Farage: We are. And I'm afraid I found some of the recent surveys saying that 46% of British Muslims support Hamas, a terrorist organisation that is described in this country. And this prime minister, is building far more of that population than anybody before in history. Phillips: Are you sure you want to make the blanket accusation that you've just made, that Muslims are somehow less patriotic than other British people? Farage: We have never before seen anything like this. You think about West Indian immigration into Britain, the post-World War. There were a lot of shared things shared history, shared culture, shared religion. In many cases, most families that came could say one of their family had served with British forces in World War One. World War two. Love of cricket. You know, the list goes on. But there were commonalities and, you know, as you know, with your previous job, the key to immigration is integration. If you get integration it works. Phillips: I'm going to stop you there and I'm going to say two things. First of all, you're right. I come from that stock. But let us remember that my stock, my ancestors for the best part of 7 or 800 years were Muslims until they were forcibly converted to Christians by slave owners. So when you talk about Muslims as hostile to British values, no, I don't really see how you arrive at that conclusion. And secondly, trying to say to me, you know, actually, you guys are not really like these other guys. Can you imagine how offensive that is to British Muslims, can you imagine? Let me ask you to put yourself in the shoes of a British Muslim. Can you imagine how offensive that feels?

Always grateful to receive the support of Dr David Lloyd - he knows better than anyone the benefit of walk-in clinics like the old ones at The Alex, The Pinn and Belmont. (1/3)

I’m delighted - this is huge news for our local community. After a long campaign, City Hall has listened and Uxbridge police station will be staying open. This is just the start of what I want to deliver as a strong, local voice for the people of Uxbridge and South Ruislip.
🔔BREAKING NEWS 🔔 In a huge victory for @DannyBeales and local Labour campaigners, the Mayor has today confirmed he wants Uxbridge Police Station to remain open. Danny is already delivering for Uxbridge and South Ruislip. ⬇️

A shocking loss of a public resource: before @HAConservatives imposed a “pay to play” scheme, these Harrow Rec tennis courts would be full of people playing at 10am on a Sunday morning. Now, they’re locked and empty. Shameful.

Last month, Cllr David Perry wrote directly to @Harrow_Council to request an urgent withdrawal of their proposal to stop new applicants with acute mental health issues from accessing a discretionary freedom pass. This proposal would have a deep impact on Harrow’s most vulnerable.

We cannot afford the Conservatives' chaos any longer. Britain deserves better than this. It's time for a Labour government that will put this country first! – at Harrow, London

We're aware of fraudsters pretending to be council staff at parking bays/car parks. Victims are told they cannot park where they have and to cancel a ticket, they're asked to put their bank card and pin into a reader. Please be vigilant and alert police if you encounter them.

Looked amazing and tasted amazing.
Looks amazing! Hopefully I can one of your Pan Asian nights in future, but I don't know how I'll by able to choose which dish to order!

SIGN MY OPEN LETTER - @harrow_council are planning to charge residents to use tennis courts in parks across our borough from between £4 & £8 a session. 🎾 Why should we have to pay to use tennis courts now? Let's tell the leadership NO. gareththomas.org.uk/keep-ten… – at Harrow, London

Encourage any local residents to go along this evening. Site currently used by Harrow Carers for activities for young Carers, other community groups and plans for use by the surrounding residents. They are making the place come alive again!
Would be really sad if we lost the Old Lyonian hall, widely used by the community (I used to go to Zumba there) and green space, which is used by many local clubs including archery, football and sports days #NorthHarrow #Harrow
📢PLEASE SHARE📢 Five months after we launched our campaign to improve conditions in our block, we're experiencing more shocking failings from @MetTVH. Both lifts are currently out of order and disabled residents are effectively trapped inside their homes.

Last night, at Trident Point. 5 years since Grenfell, yet access and fire safety remains an issue.

Eventually, Adam was carried up several flights of stairs by neighbours and the waking watch staff.

Spot on, James. Old Lyonians needs to stay as a green Open Space. Concerned local residents already contacted me, their view is clear - no houses here! @HarrowCarers
First test for the @HAConservatives Council in Harrow. Another absolutely atrocious idea for the area. No matter how you want to sparkle it up with buzz words like 'Zero Carbon Neutral' we have said no more building. Not on this land! @HarrowLabour @harrowonline @Michael_Shwartz
