Very moving ceremony in New Addington this morning to pay tribute to all those affected by the Croydon tram derailment 10 years ago today. We remember those who tragically lost their lives, those who were injured and their families and friends.

We will remember them.

We need to get the spades in the Ground and build Heathrow's third runway! 🛫

Reform are the only party in London dedicated to making it happen.

Experience for dangerous times. @reformparty_uk will reverse the hollowing out of our armed forces 👇

When I first raised Poundland last week, I was told by Westminster talking heads and the Tories that it was certainly “kaput” and the 12,000 jobs must all inevitably go. Some leaned in, arguing the “creative destruction” would be good.

Others made a stupid straw man argument that I was proposing to nationalise it. As if you can’t even question bosses when so much is at stake.

They showed scant interest in the workers, suppliers or frankly the taxpayer.

My point was, and remains, why should a business be put into administration when there appears to be multiple offers to buy it as a going concern on the table?

That doesn’t seem to be in the best interest of the taxpayer, the workers or the suppliers. The taxpayer alone stands to lose hundreds of millions if this business needlessly goes under with unpaid taxes and benefits.

And since I made this argument, we’ve learnt of more potential offers. There has been another in the last 24 hours. As of today, there appear to be at least three bidders - maybe four. I can’t opine on their credibility, but it doesn’t suggest Poundland is “kaput”.

Gordon Brothers haven’t responded to my letter. They need to account for their actions. I’m pleased my intervention has promoted others to enter the fray, in government and in parliament.

A government that cares about working people asks searching questions in these situations. It doesn’t throw workers to the wolves. That’s not anti-business, contrary to what some out of touch ideologues say.

You can bet they would take a different view if it was a different type of business to Poundland. The employees of firms like this are to them, as a former Prime Minister once said to me when I was arguing over a similar point, “just fungible low wage workers”.

Reform UK is the party of working people. We’ll unashamedly stand up for them. To defend free markets, you sometimes have to expose their excesses.

Let’s hope raising this can save as many jobs as possible at Poundland this Christmas.

This is mind-blowing! 🤯

How can the Met deliver for Londoners when the officers on the ground have such little confidence in their leadership?

Another fantastic morning in South Woodford for @PoppyLegion - thank you so much for your support!

Tories don’t care about people, jobs and communities

Tories are happy for corporate raiders to deliberately lie and shaft many thousands of staff.

Steel, refining, retailing, make no difference to toxic Tories

Tories destroy it all in favour of a quick buck

The Budget that Sadiq Khan calls ‘positive’ for London will only make us poorer.

It hands the Mayor a credit card for vanity projects that Londoners will be forced to pay off.

Sadiq, rule out raising taxes on London’s hard-working residents and businesses.

Frontrunner candidate for Mayor of London from the Conservatives is... opposed to a third runway at Heathrow.

Just another blocker?

Yet more managed decline?

Whenever Kemi starts to build some momentum, a wet Tory pipes up to proudly proclaim that the party hasn’t really changed.

🚨"It's an ideological vanity project from the mayor."

Alex Wilson slams Sadiq Khan as the Ballon d'Or was delayed due to severe traffic on the day Oxford Street was pedestrianised.

@TVKev | @AlexWilsonAM

Huge thank you to so many folks in South Woodford today for your generosity and support for @PoppyLegion

For the avoidance of doubt, JW3 is a Jewish community, arts, culture, and educational centre.

The “intimidation and disruption” is from the antisemitic “pro-Palestine” hate movement.

Antisemitism must not be allowed to fester in Britain a single day more. ❌

Inaction by the Government and the Mayor have allowed this vile hatred to take root in our schools.

Enough is enough.

⚡️ We need to make better use of the vast resources under our feet and rid ourselves of Net Zero madness.

That starts with Jackdaw, continues with Rosebank and it should continue with further exploration as well.

Call me old fashioned, but I think a charity established to maintain London's bridges should maintain London's crumbling bridges.

Instead, £840 *million* of its endowment has been spaffed on spurious “social justice” causes.

How can someone with such abhorrent views come to manage large budgets on behalf of the Mayor?

That’s the question @SadiqKhan needs to answer.

The Tory Party is falling apart in London!

Many congratulations to you both!
