Eleven years ago, @hflabour.bsky.social made Hammersmith & Fulham England’s only council to abolish adult social care charges. Here on the #InternationalDayOfPersonsWithDisabilities is this documentary film made by the Disabled people who campaigned for that to happen.

My thoughts are with those who lost their lives, those who were injured and with their loved ones following the vile terror attack at the Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester today - on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. We stand in solidarity with Britain’s Jewish community.

With Putin’s war still raging in Ukraine and Russian incursions into NATO airspace, our armed forces remind us that our free and democratic way of life has always been contested and will always need to be defended share.google/YPpVMSpzOC79...

Very sad to learn of the death of Pope Francis. I admired him greatly. His emphasis on care for the marginalised and compassion for all defined his leadership. www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

A new youth mobility scheme with the EU would boost economic growth and provide exciting opportunities for young people. At a time of so much global uncertainty deepening our partnership with EU partners is a win-win for our growth and prosperity. www.independent.co.uk/voices/trump...

New research shows that Islamophobic and racist abuse has surged online. Here's just a snapshot my team has put together of the kinds of messages I receive on a daily basis. I highlight this because I'm worried about the impact on young people. A thread 🧵

Blimey. One of Nigel Farage's biggest donors, and the owner of 55 Tufton Street, is helping the Russian military effort www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/w...

Here’s the Better Places podcast interviewing, er, me. It was a pleasure to chat with Nick Dines about how H&F Labour has worked with our partners to transform our borough into an inclusive global economic hotspot in the new industries that are quickly reshaping the modern world.

The Islamophobic abuse that our Mayor @SadiqKhan faces simply because of his faith and identity will never be tolerated. Upset to learn that this has doubled in the last year. Urgent action is needed to target and stop such unacceptable behaviour. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

@jimrobbins.bsky.social hit the ground running when he was elected to lead Swindon’s renaissance in 2023. Testament to that is this amazing Parliamentary event launching Heart of Swindon. More on that inspirational vision here: www.swindon.gov.uk/download/dow...

Trailing green transport initiatives “The Labour-led, green-focused council has been key in getting it off the ground.”

The far-right are sowing fear and division across the globe. Progressives must act by tackling online hate, challenging extremist rhetoric, and proving democracy can deliver for all. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Thank you BBC for this fine article about the £6billion inclusive economic growth curated by H&F Labour’s Upstream London, industrial strategy www.bbc.com/news/article...

Personal care is free in Scotland but all of England is means-tested. All of England? Not quite. One London borough also does it and they’re just completed their 10 year anniversary. So how is it going? www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Today’s Observer reporting on the 10th year of H&F Labour’s free adult social care policy: “But she is lucky enough to live in a London borough where she doesn’t need to choose. Hammersmith and Fulham is the only English council where, as in Scotland, personal care is free to anyone who needs it.”

It’s 3 weeks since the second chapter of #UpstreamLondon launched. Building on the £6bn of investment and 13,000 STEM³ jobs curated by our 2017 industrial strategy, It looks to shape a future that improves peoples' lives better than ever before. #InclusiveGrowth www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkPD...

Our vision ten years ago was to create an inclusive global economic hotspot in the ‘long cycle’ industries of the future. This video sets out how far we’ve come: youtu.be/8b6kH-xYqq4?... #EconomicGrowth #PathwayBond #UpstreamLondon #WestTechCorridor Thank you to all who contributed to our film.
