Statement from @CllrSirajIslam on the current assault on Rafah
Pleased to see once again former @TH_Labour administration’s investment is bearing fruit. New CCTV control was part of the new town hall project. See link to Cabinet report.

Just seen an 'improvement plan' for scrutiny in Tower Hamlets Council is going to Cabinet next week. This has been created without reference to opposition cllrs on O&S. No doubt this plan is designed to impress inspectors, but it actually shows Mayor Rahman is directing scrutiny
Delighted to join deputy mayor for London @howarddawber at a press conference & celebration of @SportingBengal’s promotion to the Isthmian League. Huge congrats to the players, the manager, chairman Zakir Khan and rest of the board. Proud of your success.
I reported this racist graffiti to the Council yesterday after noticing it on my way to a meeting. Can I thank @TowerHamletsNow housing team for promptly removing the graffiti this morning.
We're experiencing an issue with our phone system. Calls aren't coming through to the number for council tenant & leaseholder services. We're working to fix this as a priority and apologise for any inconvenience.
Please use MyHome to report any issues: ...https://t.co/yDjKhct5XT
In the debate last night, Aspire's cllrs sought to deny the findings in PwC's 2014 'Best Value' inspection. For the record, here is what PwC said Mayor Rahman's team did to obstruct its audit. No wonder Ministers were left with no choice but to send in independent ...Commissioners
Congratulations @SadiqKhan! Policies from Free School meals to council housebuilding will benefit all. With this victory against the politics of division in London, our solidarity can and must continue to extend, from our city towards a free Palestine.
Huge congratulations to my friend @SadiqKhan on winning a historic third term. So proud Londoners have rejected the politics of hate & division espoused by Susan Hall and Tories, and re-electing a Mayor who believes in the strength in our diversity. @LondonLabour @BGandSLabour
East London’s silver fox does it again!
Wonderful to see voters in Tower Hamlets, Newham and Barking & Dagenham playing their part in re-electing @SadiqKhan as #LondonMayor. Thanks to all those loyal Labour folks in Bow who came out to vote + also those usually Green/Lib Dem/Tory supporters, who lent Sadiq their vote
In 1978 a 24 year old young man called Altab Ali was murdered in a racist attack in St. Mary’s Gardens (aka Altab Ali Park). Today we mark his anniversary with prayers & remembrance. His murder unified our diverse communities to fight & challenge racism in the East End. RIP.
We are a member-driven and people-powered organisation.
Labour activists are the lifeblood of our Party and the engine room of our campaigning.
Labour’s messages on social media — whether from the party or our people — are an important part of Labour’s digital campaigning and something you can easily help with from home. Hearing direct from people like you in virtual community groups and other online spaces about the issues that matter locally is an important way to amplify Labour’s messages. In times where there can be mistrust of politicians, posts from friends, neighbours and local stakeholders can help voters to connect with Labour values and local track record where other media fails. We can help you to use social media as a campaign tool for Labour, with training provided for those who want to take it further.
Labour leaflets help us keep in touch with residents, and ensure our representatives and their work are widely recognised. The local team produces and prints Labour literature and organises it ready for distribution by local teams within neighbourhoods. Could you volunteer to take a delivery round in your local patch? Our leafleters play a vital role in Labour campaigns, and you’ll be given everything you need, including a map of the streets you’ll be covering. Getting started couldn’t be easier!
Dialogue is Labour’s online system for telephone canvassing. It’s a crucial way to connect with voters and provides vital information that helps us at election time. You’ll need an internet-connected device and a mobile phone. Connecting to the system via your Labour membership details means that the calls cost you nothing. Once logged in, you’ll be connected automatically with the voter and can see a script to work through and input responses. We often run ‘phone banks’ to work together, either in person or virtually, and it’s a great way to volunteer when the weather isn’t great for door-knocking.
Traditionally, the Labour Party is known for people-powered campaigning, with door-knocking at its heart. Canvassing is all about collecting information on the thoughts and voting intentions of local residents, as well as connecting them with Labour values through thousands of positive conversations and face-to-face interactions (and not just at election time!). We work in local teams, and your organiser will have an app called Doorstep that directly inputs the information you collect into Labour’s systems. Door-to-door canvassing is the most powerful form of volunteering for the Labour Party and a great way to meet fellow activists in your area.
Beyond talking to voters, there are other ways to help Labour and your community. This could include signing and sharing Labour-led petitions, completing and helping to promote one of our surveys, or co-signing a letter pressing for action on an important topic and encouraging others to do the same. Please look out for opportunities to put your voice behind Labour’s campaigns as we build up the pressure for better ways to address the big issues that face us.
