Today’s Local Power Plan announcement is the biggest investment in community-owned energy in British history.

Our members have fought for years to put power and profit in community hands. Now that work will shape the future of energy ownership in the UK.⚡️

Keeping on moving on the #labour doorstep in #Woodside #Croydon with @rowennadavis.bsky.social @fleuranderson.bsky.social and Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves.

Fly-tipping is unfortunately a common occurrence across #Croydon including in #Norbury Park ward. If #Labour wins, we will start to sort this mess out.

We kept on moving this week on the #labour doorstep in #Norbury Park ward in #Croydon where we were talking to residents with our Mayor of Croydon candidate Rowenna Davis - lots of issues of fly-tipping, leaky drains, safety of roads, housing etc etc. Let's put #PeopleFirst!

The reboot brought a parade of new and aged-up faces, multiple returns of Toadie and a violent siege at Harold’s. But in the end Ramsay Street faces death by freeway

Remembering those who lost their lives both past and present in conflict at the #cenotaph at the #townhall in #Croydon on #RemembranceSunday

I attended the @norwoodgrove.bsky.social inaugural meeting. There is a lot of enthusiasm to look after and maintain this beautiful #greenspace in this area of #SouthLondon.

We recognise that true national renewal must begin in our communities.

We know that politics and decision-making should be driven by communities themselves, shaped from the ground up.

This new era of community empowerment is essential to building a more Community Britain.

Enjoying the vibrant atmosphere at the Thornton Heath Festival with my Croydon Labour friends.

It was a fabulous day spending time on the #labourdoorstep in Norbury Park ward, listening to residents who are quite protective of their green spaces and keeping their streets clean and safe.

Appu Dhamodaran, @rowennadavis.bsky.social and myself are here to put #peoplefirst in Norbury.

Fantastic to have been selected as a Labour candidate for Addiscombe East, together with @maddiehenson.bsky.social .

Looking forwards to delivering positive change for #Addiscombe, and working with @rowennadavis.bsky.social to transform Croydon into a council which puts #PeopleFirst.

I'm standing as #Norbury Park's #Labour Party #council candidate in #Croydon's local #elections in 2026 alongside Appu Srinivasan.

I'll be putting #peoplefirst in Norbury Park, by protecting our green spaces, supporting local businesses and keeping our streets clean and safe.

Today is the 80th anniversary of the #hiroshima bomb. I was glad I visited, I learnt that humanity must aim for #peace as the alternative will only lead to devastation & destruction & ultimately will benefit no one. Let's learn from history & make sure it doesn't repeat itself.

Protect Forestdale. Change Croydon. Revolutionise the Council.

That was the message residents in Selsdon Vale and Forestdale sent in our community meeting today.

Great discussion - thanks to everyone for coming!

When Nelson Mandela visited London after his release, he called the British Anti-Apartheid Movement a source of hope during his darkest days. It’s something we’re immensely proud of.

I was humbled to meet his family in Johannesburg today.
