The Leader of Greenwich Council has 50 - five zero - other Labour councillors to draw on for political support, but says he needs more help to do his job. So he wants taxpayers to pay even more 👇🤦🏻‍♂️

Hot day for Thank You leaflet delivery after a busy Mottingham residents surgery talking planning, flytipping and traffic problems. Thanks Luke Warren Jonathan Goff for joining Roger Tester and I today! 🚀
