Leonie Cooper AM, Labour & Co-operative London Assembly Member, representing Merton & Wandsworth. Promoted by the Labour Party, 35 Felsham Road, SW15, & the Co-operative Party, Unit 13, 83, Crampton Street, London, SE17 3BQ
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.
Great to see my mate @sadiqkhan at the 12th #KebabAwards tonight - an inclusive Mayor for a diverse city, who has always sought to unite not divide our great city
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
I'm also speaking today on #BuildingSafety & the Building Safety Bill - leaseholders & tenants urgently need more protection from the costs of #EWS1 forms Waking Watch & remediating so many building faults @LKPleasehold@ukcag @GapRoad_SW19
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.
Privilege to be invited to the unveiling of the 3rd #RainbowPlaque in the series of 5, funded by @SadiqKhan the @MayorofLondon to commemorate important, but hitherto often overlooked, history
