Delighted to be campaigning with Tower Hamlets Labour Group — supporting Cllr. Sirajul Islam for Mayor and a strong Labour Council in the #2026LocalElections. 🌹

President Trump has fanned the flames of the far-right. And now a toxic form of politics is spilling out onto our streets. These are dark times, but those who seek to divide us will not win. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Cllr. Sirajul Islam has responded to the UN COI report on genocide in Gaza. He calls on the UK to meet its legal obligations, consider sanctions, and ensure recognition of a Palestinian State is not in vain. 🔗 thlabour.org/2025/09/17/cll…

Loved visiting this exhibition and learning how Lambeth Council's approach evolved in the 1970s after public opposition to CPOs. Was great to hear my Dad talk about his role too, including in the shift from demolishing Victorian houses to refurbishing them instead. #BuildingHope

What’s happening in Gaza is a genocide.

Solidarity with Newham Labour Group friends after yesterday's by-election loss in Plaistow South. Always lessons to be learned from any election, nationally as well as locally. Most importantly, they worked incredibly hard in this campaign will keep doing so in serving their community

I have just spoken with the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas. I first thanked him for the excellent cooperation that led to the arrest of one of the main perpetrators of the horrific terrorist attack on Rue des Rosiers.

Great to see these new council homes on the former garages at the rear of O'Brien House being advertised for letting. These ten well-designed, genuinely affordable, family-sized homes were commissioned by Tower Hamlets Labour Group's Mayor + cllrs in 2020, funded by Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. #BuildingHope

Marc Francis Tower Hamlets Labour Group Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan Tom Copley London LHG Cllr. Rebaka Sultana Bethnal Green East Ward Labour Rushanara Ali MP 💙 Labour Housing Group Tower Hamlets Slice - daily news & culture Sadiq Khan Tom Murtha. Retired. Good to see these lovely new homes are ready for families to move into. In 2019 I took officers over to show them this former garage site including Wickford St, Bancroft TMO office, Vawdrey Close & Buckhurst St garages. All these sites were used to build new Council homes.

This post from Jagonari on 2nd March 2015 shows the centre was already facing bailiffs under Lutfur Rahman administration Bailiffs don’t turn up overnight, it takes months, of legal process & warnings. Where was he during that time to prevent this?

Team Bow East out this afternoon for our weekly session - knocking on doors, listening to residents, and supporting with casework. Bow East locals, your Councillors and MP Uma Kumaran MP are here for you - please don’t hesitate to reach out! 🌹

swadhinata trust Lutfur Rahman New women's centre is a good initiative for this borough- he should introduce it as that. He introduces on the backdrop that Labour closed Jagonari centre during a time he was in power. Residents deserve to have the truth

Our statement regarding the United Kingdom’s historic recognition of the State of Palestine:

The UK formally recognises the Sovereign State of Palestine. My statement on this historic day. Photo from earlier this week, standing in solidarity with Husam Zomlot and Labour colleagues in Parliament. And from my visit to the West Bank 🕊️ 🇬🇧🇵🇸

Thank you for the amazing weekend of canvassing across Tower Hamlets. We spoke with hundreds of residents, picked up caseworker & made some new friends. Anything is possible if we work hard! Tower Hamlets Labour Group Cllr Amina Ali

The Transformation & Assurance Board set up after Tower Hamlets Council failed its Best Value inspection meets today. The Improvement Plan it is considering doesn't even mention the Mayor + its "measures of success" can be ticked off without making the fundamental change needed🤨
