Huge congrats to Lin Kam Art 🔊✨🧡🌱 ⓥ for bringing people together to celebrate a special community at South Kilburn Carnivale. Great to see so many families enjoying the day and run in to all three Kilburn Brent councillors Mili Patel and Karen Buck.

Finished a busy day at stunning Grand Junction at St Mary Magdalene summer festival. Great to meet community champions & enjoy ‘The Places We Carry’ a beautiful and moving exhibition celebrating local residents with a Middle Eastern or North African heritage. Each work comes

Huge congratulations to Richard Olszewski who will be a brilliant leader for Camden. He leads a dynamic, diverse team and I will be cheering them on as they deliver for our community. Richard cares deeply about Camden and as cabinet member for finance has helped our communities

Our country is coming to terms with an act so inexplicably vile. Our thoughts are with the families at the heart of this unimaginable pain. Let me be clear: the tiny, mindless minority in our society who provoked violent disorder on our streets will be made to face the full

Thanks to the Chair of Lisson Green tenants and residents association for organising a walkabout with local residents this morning in Church street. Brilliant to hear lots of community energy & ideas. Looking forward to working with the council to bring this to life.

The violent mobs intent on destruction do not represent our country. Keir Starmer is right to say they will face the full force of the law. An attack on Muslim communities & other minorities is attack on us all and cannot be tolerated. We must come together to defeat hate.

Southport’s community has been devastated by an unimaginable loss. When their grief was hijacked by outsiders bent on destruction they came together to rebuild. A powerful reminder that most people are decent & want to help each other. Love and community will prevail.

Another huge thank you to everyone who has been involved in any way in the clean up effort this weekend. We are so proud to see our city come together #SunderlandStandsTogether #ThisIsSunderland #Sunderland

The people of Bangladesh deserve peace and security. We hope that swift action is taken to end the violence and restore calm. Read the Foreign Secretary’s statement: gov.uk/government/new…

Spending time in Harlesden with Mili Patel was opposite of hate we have seen. Amazing people at Fresh Horizons CNB and @sportattheheart stepping up to help their community this summer. Powered by love & supporting each other regardless of difference. We will help them change things.

Roger Robinson lived a life of extraordinary service with humour, passion & kindness. I was honoured to nominate him as Camden’s 17th Alderman. My thoughts are with his wonderful family. I know we will all work harder to fight injustice in his memory. camdennewjournal.co.uk/article/a-gian…

Our Community Skips are touring #Brent this summer, where you can dispose of bulky waste for free and donate reusable items. They will be in #Harlesden and #KensalGreen this Sunday (11 August) at the junction of Buckingham Road and Nightingale Road. Pop along between 1pm & 3pm.

Thanks to Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan & Metropolitan Police for briefing London council leaders & MPs about extensive work to safeguard & protect London’s communities from planned far right activity tonight. There must be zero tolerance in our city for racism, Islamophobia, hatred & violence.

This is the swift action we’re taking. If you provoke violent disorder on our streets or online, you will face the full force of the law.

In Queen’s Park & Maida Vale we know diversity gives us strength. We will not accept racism, Islamophobia, or any form of hate. We stand with communities who are under attack and together we will show that those working for unity are stronger than those who seek to divide.

ℹ️ | We are seeing lots of videos being shared online that were filmed at previous protests or during previous incidents. There has been no disorder in London this weekend and the videos are likely being shared to mislead or to fuel tension.

Desperately sad news that a young man was killed on Bravington Road last night. My thoughts are with his friends, family & the whole community reeling from this terrible loss. If you have any information please contact the police or Crimestoppers crimestoppers-org.uk
