Devastating to hear a young man lost his life in Newington last night. We were in the area today speaking to the police about the incident who are encouraging anyone with information to share (CAD 7392/14APR). My thoughts are with his friends and family. news.met.police.uk/news/murder-in…

Proud that Southwark Council has been shortlisted for x3 Living Wage Foundation Champion Awards reflection the excellent progress we have made in increasing the number of accredited employers in Southwark and ensuring more people across the borough get paid a fair wage for the work they do.

A victory that was hard fought and hard won. A victory that involved every part of society. 80 years on, we salute the extraordinary generation that liberated our continent and ensured that we, the generations that followed, can continue to live in peace. #VEDay80

Lovely to hear Joan who lives in Newington talk about her experience of #VEDay 80 years ago. I joined her 100th birthday party last month where she told some amazing stories from growing up and living in Southwark her whole life.

We have supported some amazing community ideas through our Biodiversity Fund, from nature-recovery to wildlife projects, which will create lasting biodiversity improvements across Southwark and make the borough more resilient to the impacts of climate change 🌳🏞️🌍

Generations of migrants have helped contribute to London’s success economically, socially and culturally. Thank you for what you have done - and continue to do - to make London the greatest city in the world.

Positive signs for businesses on our high streets and town centres as we approach the summer months. Items which saw increased sales in April such as DIY and gardening goods are also available to rent from our two new Library of Things sites in #Southwark: participate.libraryofthings.co.uk/southwark

The Tories crashed the economy. With Labour, in the first three months of the year, the UK economy has grown faster than the US, Canada, France, Italy and Germany.

Labour are building genuinely affordable homes for local people 🏡 Last year more social rent homes were completed in Southwark than in any other London borough 🏗️ Meanwhile no Lib Dem councils in London managed to start building a single new social rent home ❌

The Youth Trailblazer scheme in #Southwark and Central London Forward will focus on improving outcomes for care leavers. This central govt funding provides a great opportunity for local authorities to pilot new ideas which remove barriers & increase employment opportunities for young people.
