This is a huge step forward for kids in #London
By making free school meals universal, the stigma disappears & every kid will have the opportunity to fulfil their potential rather than feeling ill, because they’re so hungry

What a humble departure talking about her successes & mistakes, her fans & those who aren’t so keen on her
I haven’t always agreed with Nicola, but I can see how modern politics is brutal & take a real toll
Reminds me very much of Ardern’s departure

RT @johnbirdswords: "We need some searing self-examination because, like in an actual war with a belligerent enemy, poverty is a big killer. Poverty drives the show. We have to find the politics of consensus that suits these pressing times."

My intervention today at Housing Committee on section 21. Yes it needs to be abolished & the Renters Reform Bill is a tiny step forward in improving the private rented sector
There is so much more to do though & frightening that 300,000 ppl are predicted to be evicted this year

@JayDSports @tomdruitt Hi Jay. No problem. Is this a journalist request or a constituent one? If the former then it needs to be OK’ed by our ex comms person in the group. Might be easier if you DM me questions. Thanks

@Carlybag I think we will have to agree to disagree. I very much hope it comes back to planning with the required marketing and is passed. Residential is the only way forward for that community, I’m afraid.

@Carlybag It was a bakery to begin with and accommodation, not a pub! It’s used as accommodation on the top floors now anyway. If we are to bring it back to how it was then it’s accommodation not a pub. We will not miss it as a public house.
