I live in London and have been blessed with my wife Yvonne and three children Lauren, Gabriel and Adrian. I work as an independent management consultant in the civil society/ not for profit sector. I am an elected politician and I write scripts.
@novaramedia.com As a supporter and fan of your programmes it’s been interesting hearing the analysis following Lammy’s proposals to end jury trials. I think the left needs a greater analysis and response across the system. Particularly in the week of the Hillsborough and Angiolini reports

Zohran Mamdani’s historic win in theNYC mayoral election following what I believe was one of the most Islamaphobic, racist and devisive campaigns I have seen from his opponents. From this side of the pond.
In generational shift, Zohran Mamdani wins NYC mayor's race
Mamdani will be the city's first Muslim mayor and first Asian American mayor after energizing progressives with an affordability-focused campaign.

Thanks to Isobel and all the members of Enfield Green Party
For the invitation to speak at todays social in Enfield Town today. There’s a real energy and positivity within the party. Zack Polanski has hit a nerve. People want an alternative to the politics of hate. Greens are rising!

Canvassing in Tottenham with Green Party colleagues. One resident in a wheelchair told me he has been living in temporary accommodation for 3 years. A room in a Shared house not accessible and infested with vermin. Temporary accommodation costs Haringey £8.million and the UK £2.8billion a scandal!

Today's speech from the PM on migration left me speechless. is he implying the state of the country is down to immigration?

Enoch Powell, `they found themselves made strangers in their own country' (1968)

Keir Starmer ‘we risk becoming an island of strangers’ (2025)

Farage is the winner.

I am now on Bluesky. I will be posting more political things here. Below is a piece I wrote for the Morning Star reflecting on the current crisis afflicting Haringey and other Local Authorities.

Councils in crisis – a different approach is long overdue
Based on his experience of Haringey Council Councillor MARK BLAKE believes only a radical policy rethink will reconnect councils with the alienated constituencies they are supposed to serve
