I want to make it really clear to my Bangladeshi community here in Tower Hamlets. I do not agree with the statements made by our party's leadership and frontbench on singling out the Bangladeshi community on such an important debate in the country
@UKLabour
@Keir_Starmer
I am really honoured to able to serve in Cabinet with the Mayor and my colleagues. I have grown up in Tower Hamlets and nothing gives me more pleasure then to be able to give back to my community especially at times like this.
The letter W does not appear in the bangoli alphabet, The speakers first language is not English hence why it's difficult to pronounce. I respectfully ask that you are kinder in the way you approach this so that others are not embarrassed nor put off in entering public service.
Please can we give a big welcome to
@Maisha88332321

She's the youngest Councillor in Tower Hamlets with so much potential and talent that makes me feel reassured about the future of

It was a real honour to have his Majesty King Charles III and Queen consort visit our part of the Eastend and allowing us to showcase our communities and cultures.
Thanks to
@bbpi100
@TowerHamletsNow

I am deeply concerned to read about the concerns raised by staff in this article.
I asked questions on this just 4 days ago at the full council meeting to the lead member.
@TH_Labour
will be taking this up on behalf of residents.
It's important that we are able to speak up about all injustices and that every Civilian lost in the conflict is equal.
Hamas does not represent all Palestinians and we condemn their actions. We must work towards making sure humanitarian aid is available in Gaza.
I remain gravely concerned about the developing events in Gaza.
We urgently need humanitarian aid including food, water & medical supplies to reach those in need.
My full remarks this morning:
It was nice to be out on a sunny Sunday talking to residents about their local concerns and discussing the upcoming London mayoral elections.
@SadiqKhan
@unmeshdesai
I spoke on Channel S about the cost of living crisis and heard from countless callers who are struggling to keep up. Despite

Standing in solidarity with Palestine.
The loss of innocent lives was not acceptable on the 7th October and it is not acceptable now
It's time for an immediate ceasefire, urgent access for humanitarian aid and a peaceful resolution to bring lasting peace to the region.

Here is just a snapshot of what we are losing. ๐๐ผ
Great campaign sessions today for
@JonCruddas_1
who deserves to be back in parliament representing Dagenham and Rainham and especially if
@SadiqKhan
says so!
The East End has a rich history of the trade union movement.
Unions are instrumental in ensuring workplace equality and fair pay & help create an equal society, which is just as important now as it was when our movement started.
I โค๏ธโค๏ธunions Thank you for everything you do!
Since Iโve been Mayor, weโve been building the high-quality council homes that Londoners need, in record numbers.
Last year, London started more council homes than the rest of the country combined. These council homes are changing lives.
โOur members were determined to secure a fair pay deal so the intervention of the mayor of Tower Hamlets, Lutfur Rahman played a part in helping to resolve this dispute.โ
Eid Mubarak everyone. I am wishing everyone a joyful day at home where we connect with family through our phones and devices, eat some of the best dishes in the world and most importantly stay safe!

I can't even begin to describe what a bigg loss for the borough. On a personal level John was a great friend,colleague and ally. I can still feel the love he shared. ๐
Refreshing to hear the speech made by Labour Cllr
@DavidJEdgar
which he clearly thought about and wrote himself. A marked contrast to alot of his Labour colleagues who simply read out speeches written for them by the Labour administration.
It was great to join our wonderful
@TowerHamletsNow
team working hard to remove graffiti this morning. We want to hear about more hotspots so please get in touch.
Appalled by this islamophobic letter sent by
@MSGreenCollege
They would like young people to celebrate their identity but put a ban on "religious" clothing and only use thobes and abaya as an example.
Parents and children are outraged.

Thank you

@JoelBodmer
@grayee
and the impressive
@organiserjo
I spoke to ITN news earlier today about the Palestinan flags that have been put up in Tower Hamlets in solidarity.
It's important to support our communities to achieve harmony and de- escalate any tension.
I was proud to nominate and speak for
@CllrMarcFrancis
to be scrutiny lead on finance.
@SabinaKhan16
has done a fantastic job in the past year and made a real difference.
Why are the Aspire group afraid to back an experienced competent person to hold them accountable?
Am gutted that Aspire Party cllrs have blocked my nomination to lead scrutiny of
#TowerHamlets
Council's finances. I did this role under Labour's Mayor - asking questions without fear or favour. Despite this setback, i'll keep pushing for answers where our public's money is going
So proud of my friend and so many other volunteers who have been volunteering so much time to

#labourgain
Delighted to join
@TheMatchgirls
and look forward to working with the team. Thank you
@RNBlake
for all your work over the years especially as I know how passionate you are about preserving and promoting our rich eastend history.
The Matchgirls Memorial is delighted to welcome
@THLP_ASMA
as our Ambassador for Tower Hamlets Council and Local Community Organisations . Huge thanks to
@RNBlake
for her tremendous support - we wish her every success in her campaign to become an MP
As a member of the overview and scrutiny committee and having sat through a meeting less than 24 hours ago, I am puzzled how transparency and scrutiny can hold no weight for the Mayor and his cabinet.
You would think history is there for learning and not repeating!
With less than two hours until this evening's meeting of cabinet Mayor Lutfur Rahman and his Aspire Group have added a report that approves social care contracts worth over ยฃ160m.
@THCHousing
as your stock was originally part of
@TowerHamletsNow
stock before the transfer why are you not exploring the option of a merger with the council in the first instance?
Especially when
@THHomes
comes back in-house, and there couldn't be a better time to have this
It was a pleasure to visit our soon to be new town hall.
The former hospital saw generations of Londoners born & cared for, but this site risked falling into disrepair.
Our ambitious transformation will make council services more accessible & decisions more accountable.
Great discussions at our
@TowerHamletsNow
Climate taskforce meeting with our partners sharing some fantastic initiatives
that will lead us to achieving our target of a net zero borough by 2045
#ClimateEmergency
It was an absolute pleasure to hear
@lisanandy
talk about her vision for

speak about the vital work local government undertakes to push the Climate emergency agenda forward. In Tower Hamlets with a labour Mayor
@MayorJohnBiggs
we have done just that!
#lab21
#ClimateEmergency
Back at my surgery today but with a heavy heart, I know the devastating impacts of a Tory government will continue to affect the most vulnerable in our society but I will carry on representing and fighting for them.๐
I was out today with
@weaverslabour
members speaking to residents around the Nag head estate. Residents are concerned about the poor condition of their homes due to dampness and mould so will be taking this up with Peabody on their behalf.
Happy 80th birthday
@EastEnd_CAB
Thank you for everything you do for our residents, the need for advice in Tower hamlets is growing but you have never failed to deliver the service!
Proud to have passed the

Grateful to meet some amazing people full of passion & energy for the future of our country - we are redy to take on the tories!

The Weaver line
๐ Liverpool Street to Cheshunt/Enfield Town/Chingford
Map colour: Maroon
The Weaver line runs through Liverpool Street, Spitalfields, Bethnal Green and Hackney - areas of London known for their textile trade, and shaped by migrant communities & individuals.
Spent the weekend at my first
@CoopParty
conference where I had fascinating policy conversations about how we build a better society.
Cooperative values of self-aspiration, equality and democracy are values that our Labour govt must hold to build a greener, fairer society๐น
There are some positives in the speech but without a call for immediate ceasefire it turns the positives to just paying lip service.
A humanitarian pause only temporarily stops the killing of children.
Unfortunately my party is on the wrong side of history again!
We was out campaigning with
@MayorJohnBiggs
and
@LabourPandL
members, had really good conversations at the door and have gathered lots of casework for residents.
