Here's an idea for Starmer:
Why not keep the promises he made when he was elected Labour leader?
👌🏻Public ownership
👌🏻Scrapping tuition fees

👌🏻Free movement in the EU

Great video. The homes are thoughtful, attractive and well designed. Khan is eloquent and considerate. Much more like this please.
A real pleasure to meet George Clarke and hear about his experiences growing up on a council estate. We both know the positive impact social housing can have on families’ lives.
That’s why I’m determined to continue delivering more council homes as we build a fairer London for everyone.

Look at this absolute delight! A local church holds a Rocking Service where the baby in the Parish born nearest to Christmas Day, is rocked in a decorated cradle at Candlemas. Possibly the last Church in the world to do so - unless you know different? #TinyJoys
