In the wake of last week’s election results, it’s worth remembering that behind every number is a real person. Cllrs and candidates who gave up years of their lives to serve their communities. To everyone who stood and volunteered, thank you. In local elections, local policies are what matter most.

Happy #InternationalNursesDay! Thank you nurses for the amazing job you do. It's one year since the Govt adopted my Bill to protect the title 'nurse', after years of campaigning with @protectnurse. I'm committed to ensuring these vital protections are implemented without delay.

After a lot of difficult results across London, it’s heartening to see Islington Labour retaining control of the council 🌹 A well-earned result and congratulations to the whole team

A solid result for Hounslow Labour, retaining control of the council 🌹 Congratulations to everyone who put in the hard work to make it happen

More difficult news as Lambeth has gone into no overall control after a lot of recounts. This will be a tough result for everyone in Lambeth Labour. Take time to reflect and analyse.

A frustrating result in Tower Hamlets. For everyone in Tower Hamlets Labour who knocked doors and put their faith in the campaign, thank you.

Really upset for Croydon Labour and Rowenna Davis, who ran a fantastic campaign. Not the result their hard work deserves.

Was on the #Today programme this morning responding to Labour's battering at the polls and what needs to happen

A solid hold for Redbridge Labour 🌹 Reform thought they would beat you but you showed them 👏🏾 A well-earned result.

Politics sometimes comes down to the small margins. That will be little consolation to Haringey Labour after putting so much into this election. A huge amount of effort. Keep the faith and keep working.

A difficult day for Southwark Labour. Behind every result are people who spent weeks out knocking doors, speaking to residents and giving up their time because they care deeply about their community. As chair of the London PLP I want to say I appreciate all you did and gave to these elections.

Also thinking this evening of everyone from Enfield Labour who lost their seats today. We will regroup, rebuild and come back stronger than ever ❤️

Devastated by the result in Brent. So many brilliant, hardworking Labour councillors and candidates have lost. People who gave years of their lives to serving their communities. This wasn't their fault. These aren’t just colleagues, they’re friends too. A really difficult day.

We must sit down and properly reflect on these results. As Chair of the London PLP, I’ll be launching a portal on my website to hear directly from members about how things went in London and where we go from here. I want Labour members & elected reps to shape our next steps.

Commiserations to Kensington CLP. I know how much work, time and heart went into the campaign. Sometimes the results don’t fall our way, but the effort and commitment from the team was incredible. Rest up then we go again.

You absolutely smashed it Hammersmith and Fulham, powered by people who care deeply about local residents. An enormous effort and brilliant result 🌹

81 years since victory in Europe and the end of the Second World War in Europe. I'm reflecting on the courage and sacrifice of all those who fought against fascism, the families who endured unimaginable loss. In 2026 shocking we are fighting fascism again.

Huge congratulations to Ealing Labour on an incredible result 🌹
 You could feel the energy and determination on the ground. Amazing candidates, amazing campaigners, amazing local activists.
 A real team effort. So well deserved!

As Chair of London PLP it's so sad to see the hard work of Wandsworth Labour not deliver the results we wanted. There was a huge amount of commitment and determination behind this campaign. That work matters and it always will. Keep going🌹

Politics can be very hard, but I know Westminster Labour put everything into these elections.
 So much effort from people who genuinely care about their community. Keep the faith. Keep organising.

Ohhhh sending BIrthday wishes to Sir David Attenborough, 100 years young. Educating me and millions of others, universally loved. Hes beautiful descriptions of countless precious lifeforms reminding us how precious everything is. Happy Birthday!!!

Game changing news: a new one minute immunotherapy jab will save cancer patients hours in hospital. Having completed my own treatment with pembrolizumab this Easter, I know what that time means. This is how we get the NHS back on its feet. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Just left a meeting with my local synagogue. Hearing how frightened people feel is deeply upsetting. We must not let hatred divide us. To our Jewish community in Brent and beyond, you have my solidarity. We stand together.

🚨 ATTENTION 🚨 If you or someone you know is dealing with a dodgy landlord, this matters. From today, renters’ rights have changed thanks to Labour. These rights are the law, and no contract can take them away. Please share. More info: www.gov.uk/government/p...

Another month, another horrific wave of racism, threats and abuse sent my way. #ButlerBlocks It's relentless and platforms must do more to stop it. There are more good people than bad. ✊🏾

The antisemitic terror attack in Golders Green is an affront to our British way of life. There is no place for antisemitism. Thank you to brave volunteers at Shomrim, Hatzola and the police for their swift action. Londoners shout out not in our name!

What a day for canvassing in Brockley ☀️ Feels amazing when MPs show up in numbers. Great to be out with @vickyfoxcroftmp.bsky.social, @louisehaighmp.bsky.social and @yuanfenyang.bsky.social. Well earned drink at the end of it 🍻

Beautiful day to be out canvassing in Wandsworth ☀️ Great to be on the doorstep with the Mayor of Wandsworth Jeremy Ambache and Council Leader Cllr Simon Hogg.

London Marathon at its best this weekend, unbelievable! Incredible to hand out medals so many stories of courage and determination. highlight awarding medal to Calvin Bailey MP! Congratulations to everyone who took part.

Love this - we’re really proud that Prime Minister Clem Atlee was born in East Putney 🌹

Out canvassing in Putney. Emotional to be in the birthplace of Clement Attlee. Founder of the NHS! It was a really moving moment to be there and think about the legacy that still shapes lives today.

I am.buzzing! @londonmarathon.bsky.social what a day!!! To all the runners phenomenal!! I awarded 100s of medals can't wait to post. Lots of hugs and tears just incredible.

Another packed weekend of free things to do in London, with the marathon taking over the city on Sunday. If you’re running… I might just see you at the finish line 👀

Great vibes at the Tower Hamlets manifesto launch, real energy in the room! Good to be there alongside @rushanaraalibgs.bsky.social and mayoral candidate Cllr Siraj Islam, with a brilliant group of councillors and candidates.

Happy St George's Day everyone. Feel the grass 🥰

Racists killed Stephen Lawrence. The police failed the family. On #StephenLawrenceDay, stand up against racism and corruption. I will continue to raise his name in Parliament until we achieve the justice, equality and change his legacy demands.

Petition delivered from Willesden & Harlesden to Number 10 calling for an end to Aim to Permit alongside Joseph Powell, Bianca Jagger, Mili Patel, Matt Kelcher, Cllr Chibuzor Tina Amadi, Cllr George Burn and Prerna Thakkar.

Palantir’s CEO’s crazy rant of a manifesto raises serious questions about the values behind the company holding major NHS contracts and our data. They think they're Jesus Christ. It's time to clear up this mess and get Palantir out of our NHS. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
