First up, @UnaOHalloran reiterates Islington as no place for hate following the far right attacks over the last few months. The Leader also speaks of her pride that almost 6000 children in Islington will be lifted out of poverty with the removal of the two-child benefit cap.

Nobody should spend their last moments worrying about how they'll pay their bills. This Labour-run council offers financial support for the most vulnerable but we want to go further...

The govt have listened to us and will now use the latest data for income deprivation to include housing costs

But seriously @greenbenali how can the supposedly progressive Greens explain this betrayal of the workers & working class away? @IslingtonLabour @IslingtonTrib @islingtongztte @IslingtonNorth @UnaOHalloran @diarmaid_w

I'm waiting for the statement clarifying that the Green Party are absolutely not against employment rights - it's just that these particular employment rights are too tall and too tense, are being built on a much needed car park and might involve the removal of a tree...

Looking forward to hearing @ZackPolanski's explanation why Green Peers voted AGAINST giving those on 0 hours contracts a right to a contract that reflects the hours they actually work. I'm sure it's very reasonable and has nothing to do with the Greens' fairly anti-union record

It's time to scrap the two-child benefit cap - and fund it through gambling tax reform. Find a copy of our letter here: https://t.co/GrmRJGv1lI

The COVID Inquiry report has lessons for us all. But the findings for NI couldn't be starker: both the DUP and Sinn Féin crudely prioritised narrow party interest over the public good. It's a reminder of why the SDLP Opposition is pushing for real change at a broken Stormont.
