Londoners deserve clean, healthy waterways. It's great to see @mayoroflondon.bsky.social delivering on his ambitious commitment to improve our rivers and waterways. As these heatwaves have shown, access to blue spaces has never been more important. Let's keep pushing for a cleaner, greener London.
Taking the plunge on cleaner waterways. A reservoir full of swimmers. Families by the water. Wildlife thriving. West Reservoir shows what's possible when our waterways are clean and healthy. My Clean Rivers and Waterways Plan is a bold vision to bring that future to London’s rivers and waterways.
Keeping more money in the hands of local leaders means more investment in the things people rely on every day. Communities know what their communities need. This is another huge step towards giving mayors the tools to deliver for the people they represent.
New Block of the Month – another wave of vile racism and threats sent my way. #ButlerBlocks I'll keep calling out online abuse. No one should accept this as normal. Together, we won't let hate win. ✊🏾
@fisherandrew79.bsky.social says there a lot of questions around Burnhams devolution plans, but the big plus point for him is the borrowing powers (potentially).

No one should be expected to work for hours without access to a toilet. Suppose they have a heavy period? It's unacceptable that train drivers are still being let down on this. Solidarity with @aslefunion.bsky.social. Every worker deserves dignity at work. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Who says politicians can't dance? 💃🏾 I wanted to say a huge thank you to our Councillors at Labour London Conference, so there was only one thing to do... throw a party! Thank you to all who stood in May. It was a tough election and I celebrate all you do for our communities in London. 💖

It is an honour to have been asked by the Prime Minister to serve as a Minister in the Northern Ireland Office. I will continue working hard for the people of Luton North - and look forward to supporting this government deliver the change we need.
☀️Sunshine 🤝🏾 free days out in London. Cool off at London's free open-water lido, catch a live music festival in Wembley or enjoy free outdoor theatre by the Royal Docks. As always, here are your FREE things to do in London this weekend.
There's a false choice in politics that says you can either back business or back working people. I don't accept that. We can build an economy that supports entrepreneurs, protects workers and creates prosperity that's shared more fairly. That's the future Labour should be delivering.
People want stability. People want hope. Most of all, they want a government that delivers. That's exactly what an @andyburnham.bsky.social-led Labour government is focused on. Labour values and change that people can actually feel in their everyday lives.
People want to vote Labour. We just have to give them a reason to. With @andyburnham.bsky.social, people will feel the difference a Labour Government makes. From here on we are going to be focused on listening to what people have been telling us and rebuilding trust.
