Great to attend the opening of the new Liddell Place shared workspace with @richardolszewski.bsky.social. A fantastic initiative from Labour-led Camden’s Community Investment Programme with 14 affordable units. This will bring employment, economic benefit and growth to the #WestHampstead area.

Overall, the combination of tax rises and giveaways since last year’s Budget is progressive.
Incomes for households in the bottom half of the distribution have increased by 1.0 per cent and incomes for households in the top half fell by 0.7 per cent.

Delighted that #Labour's #Budget has met @CamdenLabour's clear arguments to abolish #TwoChildBenefit cap. A hugely significant step in tackling child poverty.
Will help 4,000 Camden children. Families expected average increase in Universal Credit >£5,000 per year.

Deputy Leader of Camden Tories Shiva Tiwari’s abusive behaviour towards shop staff — in a business in his own ward — is appalling & wholly unacceptable.
This falls far below the standards expected of any Camden Cllr.
