It’s been a busy month of canvassing in Higham Hill and helping out colleagues in other areas like Redbridge and Chingford. I’ve been rubbish at posting pics so here’s a selection!
In just a few months time it’s going to be the May elections where I’ll be re-standing alongside my fab colleagues @kmillana.bsky.social & Karen Bellamy 🌹💪🏾
If you like working with us, what we’ve achieved and our pledges, please do vote for us in May!
Great #labourdoorstep in Higham Hill today spreading the @wflabour.bsky.social ❤️ & listening to residents on how we can help 👍🏾 with @kmillana.bsky.social

Very upsetting at how much hate / evil still exists in the world for this to happen at all 😞
Thoughts and prayers with the victims and their families.
Out on #labourdoorstep chatting to residents in Higham Hill & listening to concerns and feedback 👍🏾
Proud that a Labour Government has scrapped this cruel, inhumane policy that the IFS estimates will lift 600,000 children out of poverty. Governments have to do the right moral thing, show leadership and not just blindly follow opinion polls of public opinion.
Zohran Mamdani: "I am Muslim. I am a democratic-socialist. And most damning of all, I refuse to apologize for any of this."
New Yorkers elected Zohran Mamdani, a left-wing Democrat and frequent target of Donald Trump's fury, to be the city's next Mayor.
The new mayor of New York hit the ground running — and he aimed squarely at the US president.
Such ugly efforts to stop Mamdani winning - the level of anti-Muslim bigotry thrown around during the campaign should not be forgotten
Turnout in the NYC mayoral election is the highest since 1993.
Democrats come back ❤️
Great weekend on #labourdoorstep helping colleagues in Leytonstone with Bridget Phillipson & in Higham Hill after a productive catchup with our local police team at Higham Hill Park Cafe on Saturday👍🏾🌹I had a soya latte 👌
For many years I have supported the call to recognise Palestine as a state, as part of a two state solution alongside the state of Israel. Now more than ever standing for Palestine’s existence matters as part of securing an end to the horrors of Gaza. 1/4

Statement from the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan that reads: 'The absolutely harrowing scenes of suffering in Gaza are being made worse by the day, with no sign of the crisis abating. Starving children searching hopelessly for food in the rubble. Family members shot dead by Israeli soldiers as they search for aid. In heartbreaking scenes, innocent lives are being torn apart before the eyes of the world. The international community - including our own government - must do far more to pressure the Israeli government to stop this horrific, senseless killing and let vital life-saving aid in. Nothing justifies the actions of the Israeli government. The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood. There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.'
The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood.
There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.
It has been a great week speaking to residents on #labourdoorstep in Higham Hill with @kira.social & supporting our Council motion on prioritising play for children in Waltham Forest.
Our family hubs & community groups in Higham Hill do amazing work to encourage play.
