Fantastic to be out on the Henry Prince Estate with Denise Paul and Cllr Sarmila Varatharaj. Labour vote strong here for local boy Sadiq Khan and Leonie Cooper AM. Sadiq’s promises to build 40,000 new homes and freeze travel fares are very popular with local residents!

The Mayoral election is a close two-horse race. Any vote other than for Sadiq Khan puts free school meals at risk. Make your plan to vote today.👇 iwillvote.org.uk

Today, we have delivered sanctions targeting individuals responsible for human rights violations during the civil war in Sri Lanka. The UK government is committed to working with the new Sri Lankan government on human rights and seeking accountability. gov.uk/government/new…

The UK Labour government have applied sanctions against Sri Lankan perpetrators. This is the first step in the UK towards Justice for the Genocide of Tamils in Sri Lanka. I was at the UN Human Rights Council with British Tamils Forum (BTF) again at the 58th session.

A huge thank you to everyone who came to the launch night of our Giant Dolls' House Project 'Voices of Wandsworth' installation at BatterseaArtsCentre last night - and, of course, to the 200 plus residents who created this amazing body of art exploring what home, community, and sanctuary mean.

We’ve listened to your concerns - people in Earlsfield were concerned about how safe it was to cross Garratt Lane by the Henry Prince Estate, so we installed two new pedestrian crossings. What else do you want to see in your area? Let us know. wandsworth.gov.uk/listening
