At Westminster City Council full council tonight I will confirm a big expansion of the free school lunch scheme to take in nurseries & secondary schools. It cannot be right that children in one of the richest cities on earth are being left to make do with scraps. standard.co.uk/news/london/we…

Ever wondered what the origin of the name 'Westminster' is? Our church was founded in 960AD and became known as the 'west minster' to distinguish it from St Paul's Cathedral (the 'east minster'). This image shows what we looked like in Norman times. #LondonHistoryDay

Really disappointing from Southern - it’s hard to constructively engage with a consultation like this without a good idea of the impacts they expect the changes to have. All the other operators I’ve looked at have published, so hopefully they’ll reconsider!

Properties standing empty for long periods deny others the chance to rent. Cllr Adam Hug joined our housing teams in a city-wide day of action where we found 30 empty properties to investigate & 153 shared houses that need safety checks. Our residents deserve #FairerHousing.
