It was an honour to be at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday. I am grateful to those who laid wreaths on my behalf in Lewisham and Southwark this morning. Lest We Forget.

A very moving Remembrance Sunday ceremony at Lewisham War Memorial, commemorating the sacrifice of all those who have died in war and recognising all those who work for peace. Lewisham councillors and members were honoured to be joined by Baroness Lawrence 🌹We will remember them

Absolutely delighted to be starting a new job, and it is one of the best jobs around!
Come and join me in the party! party.coop/join/
We're delighted to welcome @JimRobbins as the new General Secretary of the Co-operative Party.
Jim brings years of experience championing co-operative politics, and will lead our Party into an exciting new chapter as we approach our centenary.
Read our full statement below. 👇
ALT Jim brings a wealth of experience as a Labour and Co-operative councillor, council leader and champion of co-operative local government. He knows what it means to put co-operative principles into practice, giving communities a greater say and a genuine stake in their future. As we approach the centenary of our electoral agreement with the Labour Party, we have an incredible opportunity to build on a hundred years of co-operation and make democratic ownership an even greater part of Britain's future through Andy Burnham's government. I also want to pay tribute to Joe Fortune for his leadership and dedication to our Party. He has made an enormous contribution to our movement and helped put us in a strong position for the years ahead. I would also like to thank Caitlin Prowle for her service as Interim General Secretary, steering the Party brilliantly over the last few months. I'm confident Jim will bring the energy, experience and ambition to build on that progress.

In the interests of the ‘transparency’ he claims to cherish, perhaps @VMMChamberlain can finally publish the “reassurances” he says he received from Greens to stay in Coalition in Southwark despite his national leader calling for an end to such arrangements?
Really excited about our ambitious new Borough Action Plan for Southwark!
Two parties working together to deliver a fairer, safer and greener borough.
And we’re putting transparency, accountability and residents at the heart of everything we do.

Landsec gave two reasons for pulling back from the £1.5bn Lewisham town centre regeneration: the economy, and the Green Mayor's refusal to support the next phase.
We asked shoppers what they think now it's been shelved.
What's the Green Mayor's plan for the site now?

Sunshine and some fantastic Halloween displays in Garrowhill today.
Great to be out listening to residents with our fantastic local councillor @Lalley4Labour. Lots of good chats about @UKLabour's work to give families and businesses breathing space.

.@RepSchneider reminds @playbookdc that the DSA has yet to flip a single House seat from red to blue.
He said moderates will deliver the Democratic majority, and they don’t intend to let the far left dictate their agenda.

You meet people like this all the time in politics. Products of their echo chambers, sneering at anyone who doesn’t share their po-faced, joyless view of the world. The PM went on a show that many people love, it was fun and it raised money for a cancer charity. Good for him.
'Is that a really good use of his time?'
'Raising money for a cancer charity?'
The Green Party's @floschechter brands Andy Burnham going on Gogglebox as 'ridiculous'.

On Tuesday, Landsec shelved its £1.5bn plan for Lewisham Shopping Centre.
Today, Goldsmiths has walked away from its planned Catford campus: 600+ students, a 10-year lease, millions of council investment.
The Green Mayor @LiamShrivastava promised hope. Where is it for Catford?

Under the Greens, Lewisham has lost a £1.5bn town centre plan.
1,700 homes, a new park, a music venue and so much more. On a site where nobody lives.
Our group leader, @Ese_Journo, warned the Mayor this would happen. He called her embarrassing.
Lewisham deserves better.

Greens costing jobs, homes and investment in London.
Obsessed with Israel and foreign affairs. Failing to work for Londoners.
Landsec has pulled out of its £1.5bn investment in Lewisham shopping centre, citing Mayor @LiamShrivastava's Green administration's lack of support.
300+ affordable homes, jobs, a park and a music venue: gone.
Our Group Leader @Ese_Journo has written to the Mayor 👇

Clearly Ed Davey didn’t get the same “reassurances” that Southwark LibDems and @VMMChamberlain claim to have received from the Greens to continue propping up their ‘dangerous and antisemitic’ Coalition partner in our borough.
I am ruling out our party entering into a national partnership with any party that is committed to a dangerous and antisemitic policy like the Green Party’s.
Here is my letter to the Jewish Leadership Council and the Board of Deputies of British Jews 👇
