It's a huge honour and responsibility to have been elected as Leader of Cambridge City Council. I set out the Labour Group's priorities for the year ahead in my speech yesterday:

Millionaire argues for millionaires to pay less tax in the UK. 💰

Who does he work for?

Farage is not the voice of ordinary working people.

I was appalled to hear of the horrific incident on a train near Huntingdon last night.

All of my thoughts are with those affected, especially the victims and their loved ones.

I'm very grateful to the emergency services for their response.

Reform say they stand up for the working class - but they never have.

They’ve voted to block the Employment Rights Bill again and again.

It’s Labour on the side of workers: creating jobs, ending zero-hours contracts, and protecting workers from unfair dismissal from day one.

It was brilliant to be at Abbey Leisure Complex yesterday to celebrate the official opening of the new 3G pitch. We know just how important sports and exercise can be in helping people to lead a happy, healthy life. We're very grateful to the Football Foundation for their generous support.

As Yom Kippur draws to a close, many of our Jewish friends and neighbours will be turning their phones on to the news of the antisemitic attack in Manchester.

We condemn this terrible act, and send our solidarity and love to all members of our Jewish community in Cambridge and across the UK.

Lovely to attend the Cambridge Street Pastors AGM at St Andrew's Church last night and hear about the fantastic work that they do to keep people safe at night in the city centre.

Cameron Holloway @cameronholloway.bsky.social · Sep 19

It was lovely to attend the official opening of the Cherry Hinton Hub this morning - it's taken a fantastic effort by so many in the local community over so many years to get this off the ground, and I'm proud that the City Council has put £1.6m behind this great community project.

Cameron Holloway @cameronholloway.bsky.social · Sep 18

Local government is being reorganised, giving us a chance to simplify governance structures in our area. We think a unitary council covering Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire is the best option for local residents - here's why:

Cambridge is joining up habitats across 9,200 hectares – from meadows to fens – to help nature bounce back.

Great to hear from and meet other council leaders and officers from other small cities, and to make the case for how simplified governance arrangements for Cambridge could help us to contribute to the national economy, tackle poverty and inequality, and protect and enhance our natural environment.

With racist and far-right sentiment on the rise, it's more important than ever to stand up for migrants. At Cambridge City Council, we are proud to be a City of Sanctuary and to work to support and empower all our residents, no matter who they are or where they were born.

Cameron Holloway @cameronholloway.bsky.social · Sep 8

I was glad to contribute a very small amount to the project, by attending sessions with ESOL students at Cambridge Regional College, to hear about their lives and the challenges they face in finding suitable housing, and to offer help where we could.

Cameron Holloway @cameronholloway.bsky.social · Sep 8

Navigating the Cambridge rental market is hard, and far more so if you're newly arrived in the UK or English isn't your first language. This book reports on a project by @pomocorguk.bsky.social to understand the experiences of migrants trying to find a home in Cambridge.

Farage said today he would said women refugees back to the Taliban.

Matt Potter @mattpotteruk.bsky.social · Sep 6

What a grotesque loss of touch with the whole idea of ‘right’.

The Taliban’s strict command about ‘no skin contact between women and unrelated men’ means rescuers leave injured but surviving women under earthquake rubble, even as they retrieve the dead first.

Taliban's 'no skin contact with males' rule leaves Afghan women under quake rubble

Many women remain trapped and overlooked after the deadly earthquake in Afghanistan, as male rescuers prioritise efforts on men and children due to Taliban's strict “no skin-contact” rule.

We also discussed broader topics, such as the City Council's commitment to tackling the climate and biodiversity emergencies, and, in these worrying times of rising racist and far-right sentiment, the work we do to bring our communities together and make everyone feel welcome.

Lovely morning out talking to residents in Newnham, supporting them with a wide range of issues, including broken fences, Council Tax and pest control.

The book documents some of the many moving and powerful moments, speeches and themes from those protests, as well as the wonderful community and solidarity that has built up among attendees.

Today I picked up my copy of a very special book! 'Cambridge Stands with Ukraine' has been produced by attendees of the regular King's Parade protests, which have now been taking place for three and a half years.
