Hard working families in our borough shouldn’t be paying for this. We would stop this on day one. 👇
There are hard working families in the borough who don't get this sort of treat and this is the wrong use of taxpayers' money. 🧵(1/2) https://t.co/RCelGhw0bM

Fantastic to be out supporting my good friend @LynseyHedges. A superb local Cllr & next year the voters of Balham will have the opportunity to elect two more fantastic @wandsworth Cllrs to serve alongside her.
Really great support on the doorstep in #Balham for @DrJonathanIliff, @SAbouzahra12 and me ahead of the May 2026 local election. Huge thanks to my friends in Hammersmith & Fulham @HFConsCllrs for their mutual aid support 🙌💙@TeamLondonUK

Big thank you to @RobertJenrick for coming to Avonmore for an insightful evening of Q&A. Superb work from @GabriellaSGG, @lgrigg23 and the Hammersmith & Chiswick team. 👇
What a fantastic evening we had in Hammersmith & Chiswick last night with Robert Jenrick MP! 🌟 It was wonderful to get our members together for some timely conversation about what the Conservative Party can offer voters. Robert spoke passionately thread🧵👇

When it comes to the Govt Local Finance reforms, @HFLabour seems to be making it up as they go along. Two weeks ago: funding gap “utter tosh” Now: £34m funding gap for 26/27 Do their Cllrs just not know the detail or are they in denial? https://t.co/R4F6Uhkk9U

An IFS report had previously indicated Hammersmith and Fulham would be one of the "biggest losers" from the Government's proposed changes to council funding

Great afternoon out at the Parsons Green dog show with @APascuTulbure and Cllr Lloyd-Harris. Local resident Fiori ended up with his paws on 1st prize for grooming. Having met him back in 2024 on Mayoral Polling day - he is as friendly as he is fluffy!

Frances was amazing mentor. Always on the other end of the phone to advise and guide. A robust campaigner - I still remember during the GE19 final weeks, I had to ask her not to campaign due to how cold it was - because even then she wanted to do her bit. She will be missed.
Former Mayor, Frances Stainton sadly passed away last Friday. Frances was a much-loved councillor first representing Walham, and later Parsons Green & Walham. During her 32 year council career she served twice as Mayor, as Chief Whip and twice in the Cabinet. (1/2)

Saddened to learn of the death of my great friend & colleague Councillor Frances Stainton. Fulham Councillor 1990-2002, she was a tireless advocate for local people and a great source of advice to me over three decades. May she rest in peace.

What a load of “tosh” - if you are going to quote me at least do it properly. “…especially during extended periods of Conservative leadership” You know, like under @team_greenhalgh when the Council was run properly. But good to see your prep to be LOTO is going well.
A glowing endorsement of @HFLabour from a surprising source. @JM_Afonso says Hammersmith & Fulham is “well managed” & that we’ve kept Council Tax low through “prudent financial management”. Couldn’t have put it better myself!

Today I’ve written to the Chief Exec @LBHF. It’s clear the Lab Council is once again intent to do things to residents rather than with them. Cllr @DownerSanderson and Cllr Lloyd-Harris made a reasonable request, supported by over 400 formal objections . 👇
🥀 H&F Labour really don’t care what you think. After over 400 residents wrote in to object to these works being steamrolled through. Their new cabinet member for Public Realm has decided to ignore these concerns and press ahead anyway. See our letter to the Chief Exec.👇

📮A short time ago, we received a response from a Govt Minister. He confirmed that while there was no funding for Hammersmith Bridge in the initial pot, there may be some under the structures fund. 👇 Let’s show them getting the Bridge open is a priority 👉

@RBKC spends £14m a year protecting the poorest people in society by giving them 100% council tax discounts. This is now fully in jeopardy along with countless more front line services. Councils can’t cut 45% out of their budgets in 3 years without services suffering.
💥Brutal consequences of the Labour Govt Fair Funding review on H&F revealed in the IFS paper today. 👇 🥀H&F would see funding fall by over a quarter 🥀Real-terms cut of 11–12% over the next three years even if Council Tax was maxed out each year https://t.co/XFb4K2Stx6

🥀 Soft on crime Sadiq couldn’t even be bothered to turn up to defend his decision to close our only H&F counter at Hammersmith Police Station. We will keep fighting to protect our 24/7 counter - sign our petition 👇 https://t.co/rFKA2YnjJU

Why isn't the Mayor in City Hall today for the emergency meeting on police counter closures? @Councillorsuzie asks his Deputy repeatedly: when did Khan first know these closures were coming?

The government’s proposed reforms to English local government funding will lead to big changes in councils’ budgets.

‼️Last chance to speak up. 🚧🚧 Labour plan to spend another £1m of public funds on Wandsworth Bridge Road, including extending the curb into the highway. 👉 Email traffic.orders@lbhf.gov.uk with your views before it’s too late. Be counted!
