Thanks to Marsha de Cordova MP for unveiling a plaque dedicated to Charlotte Despard at 177 Lavender Hill. Despard - an aristocratic, Irish-nationalist suffragette - ran for Parliament exactly 100 years ago. She gifted 177 to Battersea Labour & it’s still our HQ today!

Happy 80th birthday to Wandsworth’s greatest councillor, Tony Belton. I’m on a zoom call with dozens of his friends to mark the milestone. Tony’s in his 50th year in Wandsworth council. He’s smart, funny & passionately committed. So time for a few embarrassing photos...

Excellent to see @SadiqKhan promise 40,000 new council homes for London if he wins a third term. He’s right that May’s election is a ‘once in a generation’ chance to tackle our city’s housing crisis. Let’s do it!

ULEZ boost for Wandsworth families 🚗💨 We’ll give you £1,000 if you get rid of your high polluting vehicle, if you’re on means-tested benefits. This is on top of @SadiqKhan support already available. Time to clean up our borough’s air for everyone 🌳

Great speech by Wandsworth Labour councillor Maurice Mcleod on Tooting Common today: “It took the horrible death of George Floyd on that street to prick the conscience & turn into a movement that’s all over the world “We need to not let this be another passing moment”
