It is a fundamental principle for Islington Labour that the borough should welcome refugees - and that is why, under Labour control, our Council adopted ‘Borough of Sanctuary’ status in 2022. Labour on your side.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Farage presumably therefore OK with Russian tanks rolling into Ukraine and Putin’s stormtroopers massacring Ukrainian civilians ?

(1/2) Last week the Government’s ground-breaking Water Act became law. The Act: 🛑Bans bonuses for polluting water bosses ⚖️Brings criminal charges against lawbreakers ✅Forces water companies to cover the cost of enforcement action

NEW: This is a powerhouse summit gathered in London. Starmer has confirmed UK & France are now leading the peace process, with Ukraine. Trump has disqualified himself & the US.

NEW: A moment in Munich. Zelenskyy says Russia is creating 15 new divisions of 150,000 soldiers: "Maybe these soldiers are for Ukraine. Maybe they are for you.” He ends hoping for peace. A long, standing ovation. What a contrast to Vance, met with silence as he torched transatlantic relations.

Still internalising the Vance Munich speech. A sitting Vice President goes to Europe, barely says a word about the despotic murderous regime which has invaded its neighbour, and instead lectures his allies about freedom of speech. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.

Patriotism? Sovereignty? No. Our Brexit populists don’t believe in any of it. Just harvesting hatred for power. Profiteering. Doing what they want and to hell with the country, the law, international relations and humanity. V good from @adambienkov.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/adambien...

Busy morning in Laycock ward. Excellent ward partnership followed by time in our estates, updating on tackling ASB work and estate improvements. Thanks to Caledonian ward colleagues @paulconvery.bsky.social and Cllr Sara Hyde for joining Nurullah and I. @islingtonsouth.bsky.social
