I’m in no doubt that #Covid_19 presents the greatest challenge to us at all levels of government and society. But local government is well practiced and prepared for emergencies and at Southwark Council and right across London we will do our best to help and protect our residents.

Cross party standing ovation for Peter John at Southwark Council Assembly (unofficial) as he announces he will step down as Southwark Council leader one month from now.

Come on #Southwark - it’s time to vote now in the World Cup of - wait how are polls still working #WorldCupofLondonBoroughs - we like Islington but we love #Southwark

Truly shocking news from Christchurch NZ - I’m sure all of our thoughts are with those affected. We know only too well that terrorism respects no borders, faith or community. It is evil & hate in human form. Our world’s politics is divided;we must do more to heal those divisions

Very notable high level of bemusement from #localgov chief execs that Lewisham Council mayor Damien Egan has decided he can't work with chief Ian Thomas CBE, whose key role in Rotherham Council's recovery from CSE scandal suggests he is a man who can accomplish much.

A genuinely sad day - we have lost the optimism, warmth, practical politics, care, determination, friendship, inspiration, smile, laughter, and love that Tessa Jowell represented. She leaves a void in our hearts but a great legacy of achievement.

Eleanor Kelly on #gmb with Piers Morgan was a refreshing antidote to the hysterical reporting around #GrenfellTower

A wonderful act of community after #LondonBridgeAttack as all the flowers are moved. A human chain of love.
