Imagine if all 32 London Boroughs backed just two community-led housing projects and released unused land.

That could create 1,500 genuinely affordable homes - improving neighbourhoods, boosting wellbeing, and building lasting community wealth.

Lewisham has a proud history of community-led housing. With Citizens House, London CLT continues that legacy, creating affordable homes for local people. Imagine if every borough backed two such projects.

My lovely dad would’ve turned 100 this week. Just 20 on VE Day, he served as an RAF flight engineer. A true gentleman, kind, sharp-suited, devoted to Mum. Raising a glass (of his famously strong wheat wine) & picturing them dancing once more to the ‘Fascination Waltz’.

Anora review – stellar turn from Mikey Madison in sex work non-love story
Sean Baker’s tragicomedy features Madison as an escort betrayed by a bratty oligarch’s son who she marries in a film that offers a more realistic take than Pretty Woman
