NEW | The Supported Housing Act needs to back good providers While Emmaus UK’s research shows strong support for new supported housing standards, the government needs to ensure good providers do not suffer unintended consequences (Sam Dalton) redbrickblog.co.uk/2025/06/the-su…

Pleased to see Sadiq Khan add his voice to our call for the Government to rethink on welfare reforms. The proposals will be damaging for people who are already struggling to make ends meet, including many who are in work. We must not risk pushing them into poverty 👇🏾

We spoke to lots of residents at Devon Mansions tonight and will be helping with issues related to housing, repairs, waste management and more. Thanks to everyone who took the time to speak with us.

Really pleased these ambitious plans for 150 key worker homes and a new community centre are moving forward in our ward. I attended the consultation event this evening to discuss with residents. southwarknews.co.uk/area/bermondse…

There is a new Sports centre in Burgess Park... and it's beautiful. With football pitches, basketball and cricket on the menu. Cllr Williams thinks Burgess Park is now the best park in the world.... Do you agree? ⚽ 🏀 🏏

Intriguing to hear so many of the objections to votes at 16 today. Consciously or otherwise, so many are exactly the same arguments which were used about every single extension of the franchise since the 19th century.

The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood. There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.

We spoke to lots of residents on Weston & Leathermarket streets tonight, helping with housing issues, safety, and discussing big local developments going on. Great to hear lots of supprt for Southwark Labour 🌹

Earlier this week we invited residents to come and share views on our draft older people's housing strategy. A really lively and interesting debate. Was great to join Evelyn Akoto in speaking to residents and joining the workshop discussions.
