    Thanks to ⁦@itvlondon⁩ News for giving me the chance to make it clear the Tories roadsides signage & parking tickets are their own invention: ⁦@SadiqKhan⁩ has ruled out #PayPerMile if re-elected for another term #VoteLabour2ndMay

    With schools opening next week, it’s unbelievable that the Govt has made a condition of funding @TfL that the under-18 travel passes are scrapped. Nothing like this imposed on any other transport operator anywhere else. #PunishingLondoners #PunishingYoungLondoners #Unfair

    Wrong. We weren’t invited in, just presented with a “final offer” by the Tories after they stitched it up with the Greens. After 5 years of working closely I did not see the Green Tories coming
    Greens, like the grown ups we are, joined negotiations for allocations of roles in the London Assembly to maximise the power that a Green vote has. Labour chose to sit them out, seemingly so that they could tweet photos of Greens sat in a room with Tories. Absolute children.

    Given revelations, which have been confirmed by Conservative Central HQ, that a party took place last year on 14th December, I’ve written to Shaun Bailey asking for answers - & asking him to step down as Police Committee Chair

    A week later & still no apology from @RaviGovindia1 to @JudiG so a letter to the Tory Chair has been sent, thank you @AngelaRayner & @DrRosena
    The Tory Leader of Wandsworth has refused to publicly apologise for his tasteless joke about suicide. Me and @AngelaRayner have written to the Tory Party Chair asking for action. Suicide is no laughing matter - especially with the devastation that has hit families this year.
