If holding a £73k taxpayer-funded job (a flawed job created by Tories no less) was your commitment to Labour values then clearly there was nothing there in the start. Good riddance. Meanwhile the Norfolk PCC £1.8m budget can now be sent on genuine policing not these pen-pushers!

This week, Steve Reed told MPs that the government will make “further announcements” on new homes near train stations “this December”. The Housing Secretary outlined the “obvious opportunities for development with transport infrastructure already being in place”. 📽️👇

Canterbury Road Recreation Ground is crying out for investment - how dare the Conservatives let it decay like this? Alongside Stuart Collins CllrDrManjuShahul Cllr. Chowdhury & Tom Bowell, I’ll be writing to local partners making the case for investment in this much-loved site.

The UK is one of our closest and most trusted allies. Did China pay you a $50k bribe to say this — paper bag boy?

A very concerning video about Reform in Essex - beware, this is what they will unleash on *any and every* council they take control of - including Croydon. Unfit for office. Good work by Gavin with this excellent explainer video.

WHAT A FEELING! 🤩 A famous win over the All Blacks. #ENGvNZL

Hero. Best wishes to Samir and his loved ones🙏🫡

Classic Greens - they want to increase the number of asylum seekers coming to the UK, yet when they are proposed to be housed in their own (wealthy) area, they oppose it. Not just hypocritical but plain wrong - it needs to be balanced, not shifted to areas with less resources.

The bare faced cheek of this guy handing out condescending advice. A man who did a chicken run and fled his constituency faced with certain defeat only to rock up in a ‘safe’ seat and win by 20 votes! You’re in no position to advise anyone.

🚨 WATCH: Shabana Mahmood rebuts a Lib Dem MP who accuses her of using divisive rhetoric on the new asylum reforms "Unlike him, I am the one that is regularly called a fucking Paki and told to go back home"

Top work from the Home Secretary. The Greens are total hypocrites on this - asylum hotel NIMBYs

Three Croydon Labour campaign sessions last week across Broad Green, Addiscombe East and New Addington North. It was great speaking with residents, who continue to raise real concerns about the lack of street cleaning, persistent fly-tipping and rising crime. We will continue to

Our country’s first ever Men’s Health Strategy. A proud moment - especially for the men, boys and organisations that helped us write it. Physical health, mental health and groundbreaking partnerships that will help reach men and boys on our terms, on our turf, to build change.

More on this: A government-owned housebuilder, Platform4, is set to turn disused brownfield land into 40,000 well-connected homes around railway stations... 🤔But what could these transport-led homes look like? 🧵📷 Take a look at these images of the first four sites...

On the one hand I feel very sorry for my colleague & hope they receive whatever support needed. But I can’t be the only MP who bounds (maybe not always literally) into work every day feeling incredibly lucky that I have an opportunity to make our country a bit better every day.

NEW: Fantastic news for London - the DLR extension to Thamesmead is going ahead with Government backing. It’s something I’ve long called for, will create jobs for Londoners and help deliver tens of thousands of new homes across our city ⬇️ cityam.com/reeves-to-give…

Not only are London’s buses amongst the cheapest in the UK, but we’re making them faster too ⚡️ Our £30m investment in Haringey, Lewisham & Southwark will improve bus services and speed up journeys, supporting neighbourhoods and improving access to jobs and services.

A HUGE step forward, but we won’t stop campaigning until Fair Funding for Croydon is in black and white. Keep signing and sharing our petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/fair…

Wrong blue for me but credit where credits due - that’s an impressive stadium!
