This month's column is about the politics of Metroland, and what the Tories' tactics in my hometown of Harrow can tell us about their strategy in the capital during this election Read here 👇 labourlist.org/2024/06/conser…

Keeping the rain off Primesh Patel in Harrow East... ☔

As a local councillor, I agree with a lot of this!

Figures to bear in mind as you vote: 1 million kids in destitution 3.7 million people with "very low food security" 150k kids in temporary accommodation 1.3 million families on social housing waiting lists 7.6 million on NHS waiting lists Who will bring those numbers down?

First ward surgery of a new Labour government ❤ Winning power means being able to help people 🌹

A lot of talk following the #GE2024 about the Tory collapse across London, but not, interestingly, in Harrow, where they increased their vote in Harrow East. I wrote about this during the campaign, might be of interest to some 👇

Interesting and positive development. But if Lab HQ are more involved in recruiting staffers, they also need to do more to oversee working conditions in MPs' offices and intervening when there are issues, including to support staff Wrote about this here👇 politics.co.uk/comment/2023/0…

Missed this back in June - must have been busy with something! An update from @HarrowOnline about mine and stephen hickman 'green agenda' for Harrow on the Hill! New trees and bike racks... and hopefully soon a restored water fountain ⛲️

This is great to see! Fantastic work by GMB Politics London

Loveliest ward in London ♥️ #harrowonthehill

August surgery at Battels done ✅ Away in September but will be back for the next one in October 🍁 In the meantime constituents can always email us at [email protected] / [email protected] 📧

Appalled to see this. I know from speaking with others in the Harrow Labour group that the police have also been informed, but understand it is still a very difficult time for many in our community. This thuggery and racism has no place in Harrow (or anywhere).

Great event this week with Fabian Society - Local Government and Housing. Refreshing to hear such clarity from new MPs and others on the need to build millions more homes - the cost of housing is a blight on Britain and a blight on aspiration and for too long, those in charge have just not got it

After a sojourn away from the hill, it was good to return and see the new bike racks installed on the High Street. Pleased we could use our ward budget for these🚲🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️

Two updates - one, the new bike racks are being used! Happy about that😎. And this Saturday we were back in Battels café for our first ward surgery on the hill in a while. I've been away at party conferences but it's good to be back - this place is so beautiful in the autumn🍂🍁

Autumn has come to Churchfields 🍂 #harrowonthehill

Sunset over West Street (with a better phone camera!) #harrowonthehill

Extremely worrying - just to let any residents who follow me know that we've reached out to Safer Neighbourhoods Team to request a police briefing for residents following these incidents on Churchfields and Lowlands Road. Will post again with details. harrowonline.org/2024/10/18/har…

Trump isn’t popular in Britain. Nor is Nigel Farage. There are pockets of people who love both, but they are relatively small. Britain’s “Trump moment” was June 2016, and that can’t be repeated, mostly because of Brexit’s failure.

I've moved over to Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/eden-k… Do give me a follow there!
