Hey
@JSmallEdwards
get your Twitter bio updated. You’re not the candidate anymore — but the elected councillor in Bayswater ward, Westminster. I know because your proud dad has been texting to tell me ‘he didn’t just win - he smashed it!’ Time to get your mum’s Proud album out!!
As the Tory government cut taxes for the wealthiest, trade unions are organising for a proper pay rise for the workers who are the backbone of our country.

Lord Boateng made history, becoming an MP in 1987 and the UK’s first Black Cabinet Minister.

@WestminsterCLP
NEW: City Hall will be funding free school meals for every primary school pupil in London.
No child should go hungry in our city.
The Government have refused to act, so I’m stepping up.
What better way to start April than to chat to residents in St John’s Wood!
Spoke to lifelong Conservatives who are planning to vote for

freezing TFL fares ❄️
A stark contrast with the Government’s 4.9% fare rise 📈🤷🏽♂️
Great evening yesterday at the
@unisonglr
councillors event!
Public sector Unison members are the backbone of our nation and it’s high time they were given a proper pay rise 🟣💪🏽
Conservative MP Lee Anderson tells GB News that he thinks Sadiq Khan has "given our capital city away" to Islamists, who are "his mates".
"Islamists have got control of Khan and they’ve got control of London," he says.
The poundshop Trump might be going but the damage the Tories are doing to our country and our democracy remains.
Only a General Election and a

government can get Britain back on track.

Selflessness. Integrity. Objectivity. Accountability. Openness. Honesty. Leadership.
Boris Johnson and his cabinet have flouted the principles of high office.
It's time for a General Election and a

Let’s continue delivering:

Incredibly disappointed to hear the Government have shelved planned works for the three Imperial Trust hospitals (St Mary’s, Charing Cross and Hammersmith).
The Tories are treating London, and Londoners, with disdain.
Fantastic first canvassing session of the new Kensington & Bayswater constituency!
Lots of great conversations with residents who plan on supporting
