This is the second time Conservatives stop the former Pimlico Library from remaining in use by local groups. In 2016, WCC had made an agreement for the space to become a Sainsbury’s. Local protest forced a rethinking. But Tory hit back with a cynical Estate Agency Academy.

At least that’s gone. But in housing Thousands of residents are left with the consequences of shoddy and badly WCC monitored Major Works. Tens of Millions creamed of by Contractors on incompetent WCC planning and scrutiny.
I'm still sad the official marble arch mound merch never surfaced - presumably sat in a warehouse somewhere!

Russia is funneling the Ukrainian children it abducts into military camps and conscription.
At least 20,651 taken. Only 2,665 back.
Those still in Russia are placed with Russian families, drawn into militarized youth movements, and handed draft notices at 16.
Ukrainian lawyer Kateryna Rashevska says the law already calls this genocide. "We simply still lack the political will to call the crimes by their proper names."

The Tory Russian coverup unraveling…
‼️ This is a constitutional bombshell.
For the first time, a British prime minister has confirmed that UK authorities believe Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum.
That does not prove Russia changed the result, nor does it establish criminal involvement by Leave campaigners. But it confirms that a hostile state attempted to interfere in the most consequential democratic decision Britain has taken in generations.
The 2020 Russia Report could not reach a conclusion because the government had neither commissioned nor supplied a proper post-referendum assessment. Boris Johnson’s government then rejected the Intelligence and Security Committee’s request for one.
Andy Burnham must now publish an unclassified account setting out:
• what Russia did;
• which voters and organisations were targeted;
• how extensive the operation was;
• what ministers and intelligence agencies knew; and
• why the truth was withheld for so long.
Nobody can credibly insist that the decision of 2016 is eternally sacred while simultaneously arguing that the public must never be allowed to reconsider it, especially now that Russian interference has been officially confirmed.
Brexit was authorised by a referendum conducted without these facts. Britain deserves the truth and a democratic opportunity to decide its future again.

Blimey. @Leader_WCC describes West End Live as a “visitor economy gig” with “no benefit to residents” and threatens the axe. This after hailing its success and listing the creative industries as a major growth sector to be supported by the council. westminsterlabour.org.uk/iss…
Why can’t you find this money from outcomes of 15 years Conservative austerity policy? Or was that too just about cutting services? Also, PM Burnham announced Council’s can keep some of their business tax revenue? Are you pursuing this? And how much would this be?
Labour is cutting Westminster’s funding by 50%. Throughout September the Conservative administration is engaging with residents about the services they value most as we draft the budget for 2027.
Next session @ 6pm on Thursday at Westbourne Park Baptist Church.

What an ill informed statement leaving out the local regeneration background. WCC Conservatives would know. But will they correct their own party statement?
What an awful take @CPhilpOfficial
Bringing this type of ideology and divisive language to the community I call home simply isn’t welcome.

Britain has been captured by Putin’s Russia but not by past Nazi Germany. And in both cases British elites played a dark Rightwing ideology and greed game. The conservatives are trying to simply wash it away.

There must be a space at Bartlett School of Architecture? A Homeless Library: The Library of the Housing Crisis? davemnt.wordpress.com/2026/0…

The Conservative party taking the Russian Shilling was obviously not interested to shed any light on their dark side. But history has a way to bite back. Investigations have necessarily to be carried out, however late to rebuild trust in politics!
"The government have actively avoided looking for evidence Russia interfered."
This is arguably the greatest scandal of modern British politics. The Intelligence & Security Committee's Stewart Hosie said the government didn't investigate alleged Russian interference in the Brexit vote, and no one wanted to touch this "with a ten-foot pole".
Successive British governments including Starmer's have covered up the extent of Russian interference in the most important vote in modern British history.
Please repost to demand that Andy Burnham shows the courage to put an end to this cover-up and allows an inquiry to expose the truth about Russian interference in the Brexit referendum.

If Paris can we can! #GreenerMillbank initiative is asking questions about why we can’t make the #MillbankConservationArea a garden neighbourhood in the heart of London? How about heat pumps instead gas? Join discussions/ ideation starting late August.

Under Eu rules our rivers, lakes and coasts were cleaned up. Brexit brought us the sewage dumps. We will have to cleanup many other Brexit „gifts“ before we can hope to return to the decision table in Brussels. Bug thank you for getting the ball rolling.
Today, I have been informed by the new Chief Whip that I will no longer be part of the wider Government team.
I want this Labour Government to succeed, as I always do every Labour Government.
I’m grateful to have served with four teams in Keir Starmer’s Government:
🌊 As a Defra PPS, I was proud to support the excellent Emma Hardy in taking the Water (Special Measures) Bill through every stage in the Commons to help clean up our rivers, lakes and seas, and ban rule-breaking water bosses’ bonuses.
💷 At HMT, I held a brand new PPS role, supporting my friend and constituency neighbour Darren Jones during the cross-government Spending Review. I’m proud to have led significant engagement on this which directly helped shape where every pound and penny would go, and to provide localised data - a new and now standard HMT approach.
🚪 Until this, I’ve held another brand new PPS role supporting Darren as Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister at No10. In this, I’ve worked closely with the Cabinet Office team, supporting join-up and knowledge-sharing at the centre of and across government, including what’s working well and what’s creating barriers for ministers.
This is the quieter behind the scenes work that doesn’t often make the news but makes government work better for those we’re here to serve (there’s a lot more to do still, too!)
I’ve learnt a huge amount, gladly put a shift in, and am grateful for those opportunities to contribute with Keir’s support, and with thanks to Steve Reed, Darren Jones and the wider teams I’ve served with.
I will now be using my insight and experience on the backbenches every day in support of my community and our country.
Truly, it is the privilege of my life to serve fellow residents, and I will continue to give this everything I have.

Tottenham Court Road is annother one!
I salute Andy Burnham for his commitment to end Rough Sleeping’
I regularly drive past this rough sleeper encampment which runs adjacent to Warren Street Station on the Euston Road. I know my late sister - a Westminster councillor was committed to removing this stain in society.

Left: Jacob Rees-Mogg criticises Andy Burnham, "The hope he changes stuff is not enough, you need substance, you need to explain explain what you're going to do"
Right: Boris Johnson, "We didn't have a plan for what to do next (after Brexit), because we didn't think it was our job to have a plan"
We are just finalising a map of SW1 Community Gardens to be used for a walk and a knowledge exchange at Rampayne Street Community Hub. We Are also seeking nominations for the #GreenerMillbank Community Gardeners Awards.
