Sensationalist headline, but Andrew’s reasoning is spot on as always.

The damage we did to ourselves with Brexit will outlast all those that voted for it, leaving future generations poorer, both financially and culturally.

Peabody are selling social homes in Potters Bar to the highest bidder.

I’m calling on them to stop the sales & work with Hertsmere Council to keep these homes in public use. Anything less is a betrayal of their social purpose.

Inspiring to join these talented Elstree Screen Arts Academy students at Elstree Studios today. They're working on a special project for the centenary celebrations of the iconic, council owned studios. The Academy is central to the skills & training agenda that is so vital to the screen arts sector

Labour is building the homes that our families in Hersmere need - putting the dream of home ownership back in reach. That’s the difference you get with Labour in power.

I am sitting here listening to James Cleverly on @lbc.co.uk commiserating with cancer patients treated appallingly by their employers in drop jaw disbelief. He knows that workers rights erosion & the fact that the NHS is on its knees happened on his watch, right?

The hypocrisy is astounding.

I look forward to continued negotiations.

The Leader of the Opposition going heavy on immigration when it was her party that lost control of our borders is an odd tactic.
