Labour is investing £4 million in repairs and refurbishment at South Thames College!
For too long, further education was neglected. Now that's changing.
We are backing young people to get the best possible start in life, while helping to drive growth in our local economy.
Earlier today at the Foreign Affairs Committee, I questioned Sir Olly Robbins at length about the vetting process for Peter Mandelson.
I can understand why he decided not to tell the PM the full story but also why the PM judges that he should have been told.

I got a ride in a Robo taxi!
Soon if you book an Uber and have agreed you might get a Wayve automatic car - anywhere in the M25.
I took a test drive on busy streets around Kings Cross ….

We’re bringing youth clubs back.

Delighted that a new youth club is coming to Wandsworth.
Thank you @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social!

🐣✝️ Happy Easter!
The weeks of preparation of Lent are always a reminder to me that there are tough times in life and that we can always have hope of better times ahead.
Wishing you a wonderful day to everyone celebrating.
working with Our Streets Now, Plan Uk, Citizens UK, Greg Clark as well as many others, we finally made misogyny part of our hate crime laws today.
If you believe something will lead to positive change, never give up - even if it takes 11 years it is worth it.
We’re raising the alarm about the growing threat of foreign disinformation, not just abroad, but here in the UK.
The reality is stark: hostile activity, especially from Russia, now resembles that of a state at war. We need to respond with urgency and clarity. Complacency isn’t an option ⬇️

🗳️ It's time to vote for your next Youth Mayor of Wandsworth!
If you are aged 10 to 19 (or up to 25 with SEND), head to a local youth club or library this week to cast your vote.
What do you think about raising the age of social media access from 13 to 16?
Take the consultation now - it doesn’t take long and there is one for young people (10-21) one for parents/carers and one for everyone.
www.gov.uk/government/c...
Good to see that the Government is doing a quick six week trial of banning, restricting to one hour, and night curfew for under 16s social media alongside the consultation.
But clear to me that only raising the age altogether will stop the harm.

Labour is delivering sixteen new nursery places for two-year-olds in our community, supporting more families and giving more children the best start in life.

Antisemitism and hatred will never divide us - they only strengthen our resolve to uphold kindness, safety and respect for all.
Fantastic! The park run in Battersea Park is great!!
Wandsworth went big in the sunshine with the Borough of Culture Finale event - great to see so many of you at Battersea Power Station.
Thanks to the Council for organising such a great year of events across the Borough. The beat goes on….
It's #WorldWaterDay 💧
2.2 billion people still lack access to safely managed drinking water.
Having worked in water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), I know how fundamental it is to international development.

Today marks the anniversary of the 1993 Warrington bombing, where 2 children were killed and 54 were injured.
We owe justice to the 3,500+ lives lost during the Troubles.
The world is watching; reconciliation in Northern Ireland can offer hope to peace processes everywhere.
