Yes, you’ve done your part to vote for more austerity and the poor getting poorer while the rich of the labour party buy their council houses make large profits and then tell us there’s no housing of course not you bought it and sold it. This is not theLabour Party.

Are the shutters finally coming down on the local MP is it time for somebody to stand as an independent? At the next general election, somebody who has done over 50 years in the tenants moment, somebody who cares about local people is it time for a change yes

As I said, and I keep saying it’s time to bring back the rent tribunals it’s time to bring back a rent cap. Most of the HMOs on my estate are run by absentee landlords and most of them have not got the licenses to do it. Does the HMRC know about undeclared money for rent?

This is the first draft of a flyer that I’m putting out. I know the other parties have messes with amount of money to spend I’m doing it on a shoestring to prove a point that we need change.We’ve been let down by these major parties trying to make a stand and say enough is enough

I said I would do it. I have officially put the paperwork in and I am now a candidate as an independent standing against Mr Coyle. People said I would not do it but I have just come back from Tooley Street and I’ve handed the paperwork in and paid the fee so now it allbegins.

It’s a disgrace. I remember going to a meeting at Parliament with all the ladies who were robbed of their pension because they decided to put the pension age up it’s disgusting what the government done to these people and it should be reinstated and they should get their backpay

When I got up this morning at 4 o’clock it was very very cold and I knew that we have to do something again so we are open again today. The Canada estate is open for tea coffee and a sandwichs come over and keep warm. We are here for the community

Yesterday was such a good day at the holi festival thank you to Vimal and all the rest of the volunteers who made it such a great day

My colleague, Jerry and myself have decided to start up an area housing forum. This is the invite to people in the area. Please let people know that we are starting this form and the date that the first meeting will be. we need to invite all the counsellors from all parties.

We stand together against private landlords putting profit before people there should be a max rent cap of 20% above council rents. We believe that private landlords especially absentee landlords are charging as much as they can possibly get and are putting profit before people

This years rotherhithe festival on the 2nd of August will be dedicated to the women who have changed southwark in the past 20 years not politicians apart from one we’re not political but there are some very strong women I’ve worked with and we need celebrate their achievements

Well, today I reached a good old age of 74 and my wife Janet reached the age of 73. And we spent our day with our colleagues and we had people in to our warm hub for pie and mash and tea and coffee and cakes it’s been so cold that we had the hall open it’s about our community

On my estate, where I live, which is in Rotherhithe the council has been informed that the flats have been let for Airbnb and it’s clearly there to see in the Airbnb publications at £130 a night clearly stop people from having somewhere to live it’s all about money second homes

Don’t forget the great Etta James that was a great female voice from Chicago

Very busy today, helping my good friend chi /Klien with the Chinese New Year celebrations in Surrey quays the mayor of Southwark opened up the celebrations with the lion dance it was a privilege to help put on such a great performance in such a diverse community we live in

Next Tuesday 19th of November we will be working with Southwark pensioners please see the flyer below and please inform anybody who wishes to come. It will be in the Canada estate hall on the estate from 11 a.m. until 2 pm

My beliefs are the beliefs of local people, my beliefs are the beliefs of everyone who believes in community and a fair deal for those who have nothing don’t forget if you vote for labour or you vote for the liberals it will mean more austerity. Putting profit before people

Good to see the two of you at it again. Hope to see you once again in August next year, at the Rotherhithe festival

Southwark council have said that they will mute me or suspend my account if I asked that question again because I’ve asked it too many times the question as you know is do you as labour counsellors support kier Starmer stopping the winter fuel payments threats from labour

Replying to

and

What a load of rubbish where I live people will suffer badly this winter because this prime minister dictator has decided with you to take away the winter fuel payment. It’s not the labour party that I was in back in 68 is a politician a liar or is Liar a politician ?

Please retweet this to everybody you know so that people know exactly what’s going on with the suspended officers from Southwark council we need to let people know what’s going on because the council wants how much of your money they’re paying out to suspended officers every week

The chair of SGTO is saying Kieran Williams the leader of the Council is a associate of hes and goes on to say they are both charged with the responsibility of delivering quality housing well where is the 11k new homes promised in the labour manifesto nine years ago utter rubbish

Well a big thank you to everybody that sponsored us yesterday otherwise we won’t be able to do this. It was hard work 60 hours of non-stop on our feet. Not going home for two days but that’s what it’s about community I will post a few pictures without words of the festival.

Do you want one of these two or do you want somebody independent Who has fought for 53 years for the rights of local people? Don’t forget what I say about local needs are also national needs think before you vote on the 4th of July them or me it’s up to you think before you vote

Replying to

Thank you, for turning up Good to see you again. Once again giving away food to those in need the Rotherhithe festival free food it was wonderful, help from you hope to see you down from Liverpool next year you’re more than welcome Great comrades people really loved those pies

A great picture of myself with the Millwall team during lockdown working hard and I never saw the disgraced MP walking about helping people by delivering food. We worked really hard during this time. It’s all about community hard work but keeping people from being hungry.

Replying to

Yesterday morning when the bailiffs came how right Michael was, and we need to make sure that we back him as much as we can. We all need to do whatever we can to reverse this eviction order local community leaders need call upon the local ward counsellors to help fight this

Please see below a freedom of information and see how much money we’re paying officers who are suspended and this is not just all of it because don’t forget we have one that’s been suspended for about seven months now on full pay it’s disgusting when you read its your money

I also wonder how many are out with stress which they put down as sickness we suffer stress because we have to put up with this useless council yes the Labour Party doesn’t care for you the Labour Party waste millions of your money and doesn’t want you to know about it

And perhaps you think this is good being a counsellor living on this estate, and nobody knowing who you are, and you had the chance to ask questions at scrutiny the other day when they told lies, but you kept quiet I would’ve said quite a lot, even if I got in trouble the truth

Replying to

Please don’t joke about cancer people don’t say this people don’t pretend to have cancer. I’ve had it three times and it’s not fun so I think you should retract this. It’s despicable for you to say this and I’m not a loyalist. I’m a patient.

I have managed to find this senior management structure in southwark possibly each one of these is on over £100,000 each are they worth it? I don’t think so. Then add all the counsellors money and then the disgraced MPs money £92,000 a year and it’s your money no consultation

Replying to

Good to see you’re still at it lads and ladies I’ve been so busy today giving out food yesterday same thing but it’s good isn’t it? That we can still do it? The festival this year is on the 2nd of August and of course you’re all invited if you want to come rotherhithe festival

If you really want to see some great clowns go to southwark Council full council assembly meetings it’s full of clowns packed out with clowns they’re called counsellors. The labour party is renowned for its clowns.
