England flags for the World Cup on the Kirby Estate in Bermondsey.

An important, but I suspect overlooked, issue from Lord Mohammed. Well done for drawing attention to this 🙏

Burial space has been declining sharply since the pandemic, pushing families to bury loved ones further from home. Shaffaq Mohammed, Education spokesperson, has introduced a bill requiring councils to plan ahead and track capacity before it runs out.

He truly was one of a kind. I hope the Beacon Centre can be a fitting tribute to Father Alan’s life and work. More on that and the parish’s fundraising goals here: dockhead.com/parish-commu...

It was a bittersweet blessing to attend Canon Alan’s funeral at Dockhead RC Church 🙏 Such a source of love & light in Bermondsey. Rest in eternal peace, dear Canon Alan. You leave a community that is stronger, kinder & richer because of your life & ministry. I’ll miss your wisdom & warmth.

Nigel Farage has made a fortune off the failed Brexit experiment, that has left us all worse off. Except for him.

Hats off to the King for this important gesture. The world must not be silent to the horrors that are taking place in Afghanistan, particularly the denial of fundamental human rights and basic dignity to women and girls. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Today Ed Davey will call for a new deal that puts Britain back at the heart of Europe. Britain needs a new plan. For growth, for jobs, for defence.

The Government’s rejection of Thames Water’s rescue deal doesn’t go far enough. They should put them into administration and change the ownership. End privatisation and put the customers in charge.

These reports are extremely concerning - Russia is quite literally on our doorstep. Aggression and intimidation from Putin in the English Channel cannot be tolerated. This is a clear reminder that the Government cannot afford any further delays to the Defence Investment Plan.

FUN IN THE SUN Enjoyed waking up Sleepwalking Politicians near Westminster #WakeUpWestminster

Fantastic day to Wake Up Westminster yesterday. Great responses allround. #WakeUpWestminster #MakeVotesMatter

The new Green and Liberal Democrat joint administration in Southwark has vowed to put residents at the heart of democracy and decision-making by reintroducing Community Councils. southwarknews.co.uk/area/southwa...

With more people living in the private rented sector, what does this mean for living standards? Private renters in the UK spend on average 35 per cent of their income on housing costs, consistently above the (widely used) 30 per cent affordability ratio.

Everyone on X and elsewhere who called for a violent response should be charged with incitement. Everyone involved in the pogrom should be locked up with exemplary sentences. Govt should make it clear that will be the response in future anywhere else. Enough.

We need leaders who can spell out what's happening clearly and with force.

The Prime Minister must stop begging tech companies to tackle child sexual abuse material and take decisive action to protect children online. @munirawilson.bsky.social, @dannychambers.bsky.social, @carolinevoadenmp.bsky.social

This is the most blatant - and stupid - non-denial denial I can remember Good luck to Hackney Council with their investigation... www.londoncentric.media/p/hackney-lo...

Henry Nowak’s father’s words outside court, who is probably the person we most need to hear from today.

On LBC from 8pm for cross questions. I'm in a shit of a mood. Today's events have been appalling.

And that's done - honestly I was shocked at how positive that was (relatively speaking). Most of the contributions were slamming the guidance. Lib Dems absolutely smashed it, most of the best contributions were from them, they really showed up in force.

Something that especially impressed me by the Lib Dem MP contributions here, apart from just how many of them there were is how well informed, passionate and also varied their responses were. Personal stories, calling out the EHRC appointment, calling for a vote

Short notice but there’s a really useful Southwark Private Renters Fair at the Rockingham Community Centre until 3pm today. Advice available in English & Spanish. More details here: generationrent.org/event/southwar…

I am honoured to have been asked to be Cabinet Member for Inclusive Economy and Skills, working to help deliver meaningful change across Newcastle. Supporting local businesses, strengthening our high streets & creating new jobs. Ensuring economic growth is felt in all communities across our city.

I’m honoured to take on the Executive Role for Jobs, Equalities & Citizenship at Southwark Council in the new Joint Administration. I’m committed to delivering meaningful change for all our citizens and businesses.

This letter is unnecessarily unpleasant, juvenile & demeans the office of MP. Sadly, it’s also unsurprising for anyone who lives in Bermondsey & Old Southwark who have come to expect very little. Do better.

Southwark Green Party and Southwark Liberal Democrats intend to form Joint Administration www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/news/article...

The Southwark Green Party and Southwark Liberal Democrats have confirmed that they intend to form a joint administration to run the borough. The council's annual meeting take place tonight in Tooley Street.

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

Yesterday I volunteered at @southwarkparkrun.bsky.social - my happy place 🎉 I cheered 584 runners on, whilst standing next to the Golden Acer tree I’d helped to plant in 2023 to mark the King’s coronation. One day, I trust it will provide shade to future marshals at Parkrun 🌳😎🌳 #Loveparkrun🌳

It’s sunny out but…. Per Brixton Buzz, Greens just beat Labour to be biggest party in Lambeth, but not quite enough (by a few dozen votes) to form a majority. Up to the small Lib Dem group to decide which way they want to jump. www.brixtonbuzz.com/2026/05/live...
