Rain? ✅ Leaflets? ✅ Community engagement? Absolutely ✅🙌🏾❤️🌹 Out in Bloomsbury ward today - on your side, rain or shine, chatting, listening & standing up for our neighbours 💪🏾🌹 Because democracy doesn’t do duvet days 😂☔🗳️ Outstanding volunteers with us today too 🫶🏾

A seriously full-on day - in the best way 💥 From @lgalabour.bsky.social Culture, Sport & Tourism committee, via @unitetheunion.bsky.social LGBT+ Committee, to KCBNA AGM & finishing by unveiling Camden’s 1st LGBT+ public art piece for #LGBTHM26 🏳️‍🌈🎨 Representation, culture & community in action 💪🏾

Canvassing in South Bloomsbury last night - your councillors out rain or shine, great volunteers, even better conversations 🌧️👏🏾 Huge thanks to everyone who gave their time and to residents for their support & constructive challenge 🙌🏾🌹

Packed LSE Old Theatre for the Celebration of Lord Meghnad Desai with some fantastic economists 🙌🏾🎓 #LSEEvents

Thankfully football is only a necessary 90 mins (plus injury time) of spending time with some great people 🙏🏾🦊💙🏳️‍🌈 If the team showed half the passion our @foxespride.bsky.social gang does we wouldn’t be looking nervously down the table 😭 #LeiOxU

From casework to council meetings, serving as a local Councillor is hard graft - but a genuine privilege Today brought a rare treat: a visit to 10 Downing Street to see Keir Starmer, Vic & the constituency team Tough elections ahead, but our community always comes first. That’s the job 🙌🏾🌹

My fave Xmas present was meant to make a debut at Full @camdencouncil.bsky.social last night but I forgot! They are getting a special outing tonight… more later! 🙌🏾🌹

Was surprised when him indoors said yes to an early kick-off away day (after a bday party last night) but I think he may have thought I was booking some theatre instead of Leicester Women 😜😂 He’s got a good track record so hoping we don’t get another own goal defeat! 🙏🏾 #TotLei

Boom 💥 JJ making it 1-0 Leicester away at Cov 🙌🏾💙🦊 #CovLei

Goodbye 2025 - as always there have been some good memories created but you’re best filed!

Boxing Day football… festive (allegedly)… far too early to be setting off but the things we do for football 😂🙌🏾💙🦊 Given our track record on Boxing Day losing 12/25 this century, (HT @thefosseway.net) confirming what we instinctively knew, it seems extra unwise 😭

It feels fitting to be delivering the last Bloomsbury Christmas card of 2025 next to where my Bloomsbury journey began in Passfield Hall in 2001 🫶🏾🎓 Signing off for Christmas now - I hope you have a lovely one with friends and family 🙌🏾🎄

QPR (a) - Last away game of 2025 - having to go undercover to meet the @qprrainbowrangers.bsky.social gang pre-match - spot any flaws in my plan? Looking forward to a tasty atmosphere with Marti’s return to Loftus Road & seeing some of the @foxespride.bsky.social gang pre Xmas 🎄 🙌🏾⚽️💙🏳️‍🌈 #QPRLei

Last councillor surgery of 2025 ✅ Another year of helping people across Bloomsbury - housing headaches, street issues, casework matters. Not all of it is easy, but all of it is worth doing. Best ending? Someone stopping by just to say thanks. That’s the role 🙌🏾🌹 #OnYourSide

Your Bloomsbury councillors working hard for you until the end. Great speaking to constituents last night - warm reception & some fab Xmas wreaths on display 🤩🎄 Finishing the year as a team with a cocktail, supporting local venues Final surgery of 2025 tomorrow #OnYourSide🌹

Ahead of an update on dockless e-bikes at scrutiny in Jan I visited a @forestbike.bsky.social workshop site: ✅ Great embedding of circular economy thinking & wider sustainability principles ✅ Employing Camden apprentices ❌ More to do on dumped bikes but a willingness to collaborate

Quite the afternoon - meeting at Google HQ, tour of @britishlibrary.bsky.social (& chat about some collab ideas) & then helping a young woman who had become unwell in one of our squares - left her in capable hands of paramedics but was a bit worried - hope she makes a full recovery 🙏🏾

Productive eve at Culture & Environment scrutiny: ✅Holding TfL to account on Euston Rd ✅Pushing hard for energy-efficiency funding ✅Backing community energy to benefit locals Progress made, still plenty to do - only @CamdenLabour raising green issues 🙌🏾💚🌹 Great work by @adamdkharrison.bsky.social 👏
