And then some me time - watching Leicester Women playing London City Lionesses in the league cup 🙌🏾💙🦊

Had felt bad for missing last night’s men’s game but think I get some Leicester credit back in the bank for:
✅ new ground CopperJax Community stadium 🏟️
✅ a rare away win 💪🏾

Back to bread & butter council work after quite a week with our Bloomsbury ward resident surgery 💪🏾🌹

Given we had a queue on arrival knew it was going to be a busy one but does feel satisfying to help constituents (when we can) with a range of issues 🙏🏾

Deeply saddened to see our Gandhi statue in Tavistock Square defaced at weekend

As a British Indian Councillor for the patch & as a former resident of the square, I’m proud of Camden Officers for working with the High Commission to get it restored ahead of Gandhi’s birthday anniversary today 👏🏾🇬🇧🇮🇳

And just over 12 hours later… another train via Euston, this time to Liverpool for #Lab25 🙌🏾🌹

London ➡️ Liverpool

Train journey made more enjoyable by bumping into & catching up with friends & Govt ministers (plus some who are both!) 💪🏾🌹

🌈 Glad to have my written Q about Pride + what more we can do to keep our borough hate-free in today’s agenda

Great work on Pride on the Square, @prideinlondon.bsky.social + making space for LGBTQ+ voices

Gutted we didn’t get to my oral Q on South Asian Heritage Month & how it can help unite
