Brilliant visit to Fashion Enter in Finsbury Park this morning. Great to meet the team and some of the designers in one of our affordable workspaces.
They are doing excellent work in showcasing how fashion can be less environmentally harmful whilst supporting local jobs and skills in Islington

Lovely lunchtime helping @wandsworthlabour.bsky.social in the Trinity By-election. The Tories could control the council if Labour lose. Good luck to our candidate Shirin Georgiani 🌹

I’m a big fan of the “Greetings from Archway” mural that was created as part of the Art in Archway event a couple of weeks ago. You can find it round the back of the Archway Tavern. It looks brilliant! 🎨

First meeting of the new Executive last night and I was pleased to present my first report on introducing High Street Rental Auctions to the Caledonian Road.
This will see us work with landlords to bring vacant shop units back into positive use for the community.

Very pleased to have been re-elected in Junction Ward with Sheila and Ben and proud that Islington remained a Labour borough 🌹
But I feel sad for the councillors in Islington, London and the whole country who lost their seats. We lost a lot of good community champions yesterday.

Birthday trip to Boscobel House to see The Royal Oak (yes, where Charles II hid and why many pubs are named after it)
Which reminds me, last chance to buy your copy of ‘What’s in a London Pub Name?’ Only 25 left and when they’re gone, they’re gone! 📚

Looks like the grey barriers have been removed from the Mother Red Cap on Holloway Road.
I’ll be asking for an update on what is happening and will let residents know when I hear back.
Let’s hope this means the pub will reopen soon!
