#VoteLabour! There's no other way 🌹

My government will serve you. Politics can be a force for good. The work of change begins today.

Council homes transform lives, there's no path to solve the housing crisis without them That's why we've launched our plan to secure the future of council housing 👇 We look forward to working with the new government to deliver it bbc.com/news/articles/…

Just in case we weren't already pumped up for tonight - come one boys!

Nice couple of community events in and around Newington this weekend. Surrey Gardens TRA summer party yesterday followed by Kennington Park festival today.

Yorkshire bound! Taking part in the The Jo Cox Way cycling 300 miles back to London over the next few days. I'm fundraising for the The Jo Cox Foundation with Michael Situ - we're currently half way to our target so any donations will be greatly appreciated. justgiving.com/page/john-batt…

I've been sat in the saddle most of the week so completely missed this! The Jo Cox Way has been a great experience and we have less than 70 miles to go. Also very close to hitting a £1000 donation target - any help to get over the line will be very welcome. justgiving.com/page/john-batt…

We are delighted to host & welcome the cyclists from The Jo Cox Way 2024! We are so proud of them including our very own Michael Situ & John Batteson Great to be joined by our friend Kim Leadbeater MBE MP in welcoming and cheering the cyclists. Batley to Bankside!

After bringing people from all backgrounds together to complete a challenging 5 day bike ride and 288 miles The Jo Cox Way has reached over 90% of their overall fundraising target. Help them reach their target👇 justgiving.com/campaign/jocox…

Our statement on the violence we have seen this past week:

World Car Free Day returns 22 September. We're making it as easy as possible for residents to hold a street party so neighbours can get together while helping to improve the air we breathe in Southwark Find out more today orlo.uk/7CEg8 #StreetsForPeople

🏛️ Brilliant meeting with Cllrs John Batteson & Emily Hickson from Southwark Council at City Hall. Boroughs like Southwark are essential to tackling the climate crisis, and I’m inspired by their ambitious Climate Action Plan. Excited to work together for a greener, fairer London!

This is a positive outcome. The new arrangement with The Trampery 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ will protect jobs while maintaining Peckham Levels as an affordable workspace option for businesses which local people can also continue to enjoy.

Today we launched our report on 'Securing the Future of Council Housing' from an unprecedented coalition of over 100 councils A huge thank you to everyone who's contributed, it is a plan that will transform millions of lives for the better for decades to come

The Pasley Park & Kaleidoscope Festival is always a great community event which brings everyone together. It includes the locally renowned dog show which once again had a highly competitive field for us to judge - next stop Crufts!

This is the impact employers paying the London Living Wage has! It means people can afford the essentials without working extra jobs or having to worry about negative budgets. Our taskforce has played a vital role in ensuring more people in Southwark get paid a fair wage.
