Not being able to stand is truly emotionally painful, especially when people scorn you for not standing up for elderly.
So let’s see if actually wearing these guys actually gets me a seat when I need it the most. #DisablityMatters

Pleased to have been asked to speak at this tonight.
My day job brings me to tears regularly when I see how people are struggling to get by.
My campaigning heart lies with reducing food injustice at all times.
Politics ties itself in red ribbon at all times, but we are getting there. #FoodJustice

This was fun today.
Even more interesting is the working class roots of the boat race.
Not sure why I always imagined the bridges were there, not that men used to ferry you across, and other men would bet on who could cross it the fastest.
Until April Putney #Sport

Absolutely excellent people whom I miss dreadfully but never had the opportunity to work with. I know we’d have been so great!

Tonight Matthew I will be a bauble!
Turned on the Christmas lights on Northcote Road, Battersea with the Deputy Mayor, Junction BID and 130 school kids, who sang Xmas songs. Yes, I know, it’s still November, but it was cute! #ChristmasLights #Community

He’s a lovely man!
When he visited us at the Town Hall he took time to speak to each young person and shake everyone’s hands. Even went to visit and old friend after the talk.
Happy Birthday Uncle Frank!

Amazing day with the Sight loss council really understanding how people with sight loss experience the built environment.
I tried 3 different glasses replicating different issues and learned how to guide others
Thank you!

Great start to my tenure on the Health and well-being board for the LGA with a Q and A with Andrew Gwynne MP. He spoke passionately about the importance of Arts and Culture in improving health and well-being. Phew #WandsworthCulture

Three photos of yesterday that aptly describe my average AVERAGE day
1) met another Kemi
2) Signed a structural beam
3) Made some bags and a mosaic with children on two estates
