I attended the @norwoodgrove.bsky.social inaugural meeting. There is a lot of enthusiasm to look after and maintain this beautiful #greenspace in this area of #SouthLondon.

We recognise that true national renewal must begin in our communities.

We know that politics and decision-making should be driven by communities themselves, shaped from the ground up.

This new era of community empowerment is essential to building a more Community Britain.

Enjoying the vibrant atmosphere at the Thornton Heath Festival with my Croydon Labour friends.

It was a fabulous day spending time on the #labourdoorstep in Norbury Park ward, listening to residents who are quite protective of their green spaces and keeping their streets clean and safe.

Appu Dhamodaran, @rowennadavis.bsky.social and myself are here to put #peoplefirst in Norbury.

Fantastic to have been selected as a Labour candidate for Addiscombe East, together with @maddiehenson.bsky.social .

Looking forwards to delivering positive change for #Addiscombe, and working with @rowennadavis.bsky.social to transform Croydon into a council which puts #PeopleFirst.

I'm standing as #Norbury Park's #Labour Party #council candidate in #Croydon's local #elections in 2026 alongside Appu Srinivasan.

I'll be putting #peoplefirst in Norbury Park, by protecting our green spaces, supporting local businesses and keeping our streets clean and safe.

Today is the 80th anniversary of the #hiroshima bomb. I was glad I visited, I learnt that humanity must aim for #peace as the alternative will only lead to devastation & destruction & ultimately will benefit no one. Let's learn from history & make sure it doesn't repeat itself.

Protect Forestdale. Change Croydon. Revolutionise the Council.

That was the message residents in Selsdon Vale and Forestdale sent in our community meeting today.

Great discussion - thanks to everyone for coming!

When Nelson Mandela visited London after his release, he called the British Anti-Apartheid Movement a source of hope during his darkest days. It’s something we’re immensely proud of.

I was humbled to meet his family in Johannesburg today.

PBS is in danger of going away. How can you help us and your local station?

Visit ProtectMyPublicMedia.org and urge Congress to protect PBS funding.

And thanks to everyone who followed before our first skeet. We see you!

It's great to see the flag flying at the #Croydon Town Hall for the NHS on its 77th anniversary!

It was great to be on the #labourdoorstep with these fantastic folk in Addiscombe West. Residents were really enthusiastic to talk to us and our Croydon Mayoral candidate @rowennadavis.bsky.social - It's all about putting #peoplefirst in this neighbourhood!

Shout out to Ahsan, a local police officer who injured himself catching a serious offender in South Norwood Country Park.

Also huge welcome to our new borough commander Nick Blackburn. Croydon is lucky to have you all.

Just finished my 9th swim this month at Nuffield Health (Croydon Central). I swam 1,200 metres which has brought the total for this Dementia UK fundraiser to 10,800 metres! I made it! I have also raised over £500! It's an amazing feeling to help a cause that means a lot to me.

Out on the #labourdoorstep this evening in South Croydon to invite residents to a special meeting with our fantastic Croydon Mayoral candidate @rowennadavis.bsky.social

#Neighbours is the only soap opera I watch and I have enjoyed the storylines for the past two years. I think Amazon is making a mistake by bringing it to an end so abruptly. There is an audience for this show. It's time to #SaveNeighbours.

Another 1200 metres done at Nuffield Health (Croydon Central) - only 400 metres to go for my 10k @dementiauk.bsky.social fundraiser - feel free to donate to help me get to the finish line! www.justgiving.com/page/julie-s...

I guess I'm lucky to have gone through Doha and Dubai earlier this year and not now. I can only hope that one day we will just use air travel to visit other parts of the world peacefully...
