A privilege to be invited to @StPaulsLondon for a service of recognition, remembrance and reflection for all those infected and affected by the UK contaminated blood scandal. I remember Martin.

Now that there’s a possible path for @AndyBurnhamGM to get back into parliament, can we now stop the resignations and abuse of the leader and get back to the job of delivering the change we promised at the last general election.

Growing the economy will lead to improvements in people’s standard of living after 14 years of Tory stagnation when, household incomes flatlined or went down. People need hope for the future, not a return to Tory austerity.

From today in Eltham and Chislehurst and across the country, landlords can no longer evict tenants without fair reason which causes huge bills for tax payers for housing homeless families.

Uber is planning to introduce driverless cars from September, without consulting their workers or explaining to them what it means for their jobs. This is another P&O scandal waiting to happen. Existing workers can’t just be thrown aside because companies are too big to care.

Our Renters’ Rights Act will see Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions abolished on 1 May in 37 days’ time. It would be utterly shameful for any landlord to attempt to use it to evict tenants en masse before that date. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

The Charing Cross to Dartford via Bexleyheath service will be restored to two trains per hour, off-peak on weekdays and all day on Saturdays. This means the Bexleyheath line will go back to six trains per hour across Cannon Street, Victoria and Charing Cross services.

Sunday services to Cannon Street on the Bexleyheath line will be diverted to Charing Cross all day. Diverting the Charing Cross services to Cannon Street never made sense for local passengers, especially those travelling off-peak.

NEW: Many people have been trying to talk London down, but the evidence tells a very different story.   Last year saw:   The lowest homicide rate since records began   The fewest homicides of those aged under 25 this century

This is your vote, your choice. You the members choose your Deputy Leader. Having this conversation is not dissent, but an important conversation about how we can be better. I will be your strong independent voice.

Labour is at its best when we are clear about whose side we are on, and in whose interests we serve, when our values shine through. I want us to be clear that our objective is to lift children out of poverty and that will mean we need to lift the 2 child benefit cap www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
