A reminder that yesterday, today, tomorrow and always: trans women are women and trans men are men.
Proud to represent a Borough that recognises that protecting women doesn't need to come at the expense of trans people's safety and dignity.

Massive congratulations to @ajdao @IbrahimAli1_ and team @HaringeyLabour 🌹
First Labour gain from the Greens, which I’m sure won’t be the last in London.
Commiserations to @CllrIyngkaran in Woodside. It was close. Pretty sure there will be a next time.

Cllr Anntoinette Bramble, Hackney Labour Group Leader & Cllr Anna Lynch, Deputy Leader: ‘While there may be challenges ahead, the new Green administration inherits a council that is stable, functioning, ambitious, full of potential. Your blank canvass starts with a Labour legacy’

As my time as Leader of Haringey Council formally comes to an end, I wanted to offer a few reflections 👇🏼
What an amazing piece. Rishi has been such a solid figure for me over the past 4 years. I’m so proud of what he’s achieved over the last 12 years for Bloomsbury.
I know he won’t sit still but hope he gets some time to rest, spend time with J and the other Leicester 🦊
Twelve years serving Bloomsbury leaves me with a heart full of stories & I end this chapter by writing one of them for @NewJournal
Thank you, for the space to reflect. It’s been a privilege, a joy & occasionally worn‑out soles & many multistorey buildings without lifts 😜

'It's quite obvious whose side the government is on.'
Freddie Feltham, host of the What's Left podcast, explains to @lewis_goodall why Labour is still the party for the working Brit.

Labour are backing renters:
👉 No-fault evictions are banned
👉 Bidding wars & fixed-term contracts are ending
👉 Renters can request to have a pet
👉 Rent increases are limited to once a year
Vote Haringey Labour May 7 for an enforcement team to clamp down on rogue landlords🌹

We are pledging to keep all of our libraries open if elected.
We have kept all of our libraries open despite the financial challenges.
This is a political choice. A Haringey Labour choice.

Mick says how many people feel here. Especially those from working class trade union backgrounds.
The reaction to this from some quarters is so extreme. Everything ranging from him being a sell out to him being stupidly loyal.
It smacks of classism.
"I'm not voting Green in this election because I still believe in a Labour movement"
Mick Lynch, former RMT General Secretary, tells @bbcpaddy that while he will not vote for the Green Party, "maybe they'll be part of a bigger labour movement in the future."
