It was also wonderfully to welcome our friends from @villeclichy - our twinned city in France, including @AliceLEMOAL.

My grandfather Eric was in the army and fought in World War II. He was a big influence on me growing up and his socialist and antifascist politics were shaped by is military experience. We must remember the dead, and fight every day for the living.

I'm fond of Miatta but this isn't good.
The Labour Party is forcing her to back policies she clearly does not support.
We don't do that in the Greens. I'm never asked to lie. When someone asks me a question, I tell them what I think.

Today I made what was meant to be a light-hearted self-deprecating remark. I didn’t get it right and it hasn’t come off as I intended.
I fully support our Home Secretary and the government’s position on migration reform.
As I said earlier this week, it’s absolutely right that people should have to make a contribution to this country in order to earn citizenship.

What changed @Miatsf ?
If it was wrong when you were trying to get elected. It's wrong when you're in power.

In the middle of an energy crisis, homegrown gas has a role to play in our energy security as we transition to net zero.
We’ll also invest North Sea revenues in renewables and other low-carbon projects.

Today is a great day for Shell's profits.
But a terrible day for anyone who wants a liveable planet.
And a terrible day for democracy: politicians like @Miatsf should keep to their word.

The people of Peckham did not vote for, and will not benefit from, new oil and gas drilling.
Before her election, Labour MP Miatta Fahnbulleh repeatedly opposed new oil and gas.
Now in power, it looks like she'll approve it.
Peckham deserves better.

I recognise how difficult the past few days have been for members of the Jewish community in Southwark and beyond. This is already a deeply painful time for many, as we mark the anniversary of the appalling attacks of October 7th.

To our Jewish colleagues at the council: I have written to your Staff Network and will speak at tomorrow’s all-staff briefing. I know some of you are concerned about what this means for you at work.

Developers in Southwark will now start to pay more towards community needs.
This week our Executive agreed to increase the amount student housing developers must contribute in Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).
It’ll mean more money for transport, schools, community projects ure growth in our borough benefits you.
See the link in the first comments for more information

Great to see @owenjonesjourno campaigning for @ZackPolanski and the Greens in H&SP at the weekend.
He thinks @Miatsf should say NO to new Oil & Gas in the North Sea.

Government has confirmed London will be given powers to introduce an overnight visitor levy.
CLF has long called for a fair share of the revenue to be retained locally & for boroughs to have a meaningful role in how the levy operates, to make sure it works for all of London.
