Look out for a new Plaque dedicated to Paul Welsh next to the bench at the entrance to Tescos. Paul was responsible for all the film plaques around town, so it is only fitting he has his very own now. It tells his story of a local lad who saved the studios and became a foremost authority on films.

Today I voted for the Renters’ Rights Bill, which will: ✅ End no fault evictions ✅ Improve safety standards of properties ✅ Stop landlords demanding months of rent up front Renters, we’re on your side 🌹

"It’s clear the public had a particular place in their heart for him too, and that was key to his popularity. And indeed, after the famous incident, it was the public who came out swinging for him" - Sir Keir Starmer on John Prescott www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/john...

I welcome the Government taking legislative action to make spiking a specific offence, and to support the Police and bar staff in tackling this predatory behaviour. Everyone in London deserves to feel safe—whatever time of day or night, and wherever they are in the capital.

It was great to say thank you to volunteers at today’s Mitzvah day and help put together some apple crumbles that will be given out to the elderly.

After months of desperately trying it looks like Elon Musk is finally going to get his wish of everyone referring to Twitter as the Ex!
