Today marks 11 years since the #RanaPlaza disaster in Bangladesh that killed at least 1,132 workers & injured over 2,500.

It remains one of the worst industrial incidents on record.

I pay tribute to those seeking justice & trade unionists organising in the garment industry. 🧵

Grateful to be named Parliamentary Staffer of the Year for my advocacy on VAWG in South Asian communities. Thanks to Pagefield for the recognition, inspiring me to further advance this critical agenda and ensure the safety of women is at the heart of the conversation.

Good to see Karen Buck challenging Ministers over service charges for social tenants. We have many housing association tenants here in Bow facing significant and unjustified increases. This needs to be addressed as a systemic problem, not just through individual complaints

🚨JUST ANNOUNCED: Labour will create Great British Railways.

Happy St George’s Day from all of us at the Labour Party!

As Mayor of England’s capital, I'd like to wish everyone a very happy St George's Day.

Today we celebrate why we love our home, why we'll always be proud to be English, and why we look forward to the future with optimism and hope. #StGeorgesDay

Unfortunately the Mayor isn't now able to attend tonight's O&S. However, we will still be looking at the Action Plan drawn up following last year's critical LGA Peer Review, the in-sourcing of Leisure Services + new Parking Enforcement rules. Watch online: towerhamlets.public-i.tv/core/portal/we…

#ChagPesachSameach !

This ad from the 1981 Pesach edition of Hamaor, the Federation of Synagogue’s magazine, shows that Bloom's famous deli in Whitechapel was the place to go to in East London to get food for your Passover seder - 'for kashrus and quality'!

Hidden Treasures

Happy Passover to Jewish people celebrating here and across the world.

Chag Sameach!
