Labour-run Wandsworth Council has decided to freeze Council Tax for a fourth consecutive year!
This decisive action means that local people will continue to pay the lowest Council Tax in the country, providing much-needed stability and relief. This freeze is a powerful example of Labour in power delivering tangible support for our communities. It shows a clear commitment to putting residents first, proving that the council and Wandsworth Labour are on your side.
Today marks 37 years since the Clapham Junction rail disaster, a tragedy that took 35 lives and injured hundreds more.
In the face of such devastation, the spirit of our community shone through. The swift, courageous actions of students and staff from Emanuel School and Wandsworth Council offered vital aid to those in need. On this solemn anniversary, my thoughts are with all those whose lives were forever changed. We will always remember. The energy this weekend for the Wandsworth Labour campaign launch was fantastic. A brilliant turnout of local people showed the incredible spirit and determination we have to take the fight to the Tories and secure a better future for our community. It is always inspiring to see so many neighbours and friends ready to stand up for the values we share. Our campaign is built on a proven record of delivery. The Wandsworth Labour council has proudly kept council tax the lowest in the country, a vital support for families struggling through a cost-of-living crisis. This is what Labour in power looks like: competence, compassion, and a focus on putting residents first.  Today marks 9 years since I was first elected as MP for Tooting. It has always been an immense honour to represent the community in which I was born and raised. Thank you to everyone who puts their faith in me to represent our area.
May the spirit of Eid al-Adha bring love, compassion, and endless blessings to your life. Wishing a joyful and peaceful Eid to all observing in Tooting and around the world.  Eight years ago today, I was selected as the Tooting Labour candidate for the by-election caused by Sadiq becoming a candidate for Mayor of London. It has been a huge honour and privilege to serve as the representative for the community in which I was born and raised. My heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who has supported me on this incredible journey. 
This morning, I invited residents from Tooting to share a cup of tea and a biscuit at my local coffee morning. As the local MP, I am here to help and my door is always open.
Every corner of Wandsworth thrives with culture and creativity. Our art, food and history are what makes our community great.
That's why I'm so proud that Wandsworth has been selected as London's Borough of Culture in 2025. Thanks to everyone who has worked to make this happen.
Sending my best wishes to everyone in Tooting and around the world. I hope you have a blessed Ramadan. Special thoughts and prayers going to Palestinians and all Muslims around the world enduring hardship and suffering at this time.  |
