On D-Day, my father was a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp. My mother was in slave labour for the SS. Thanks to the bravery and sacrifice of all who fought in Normandy, they were liberated a year later and could make a life in Britain. Always grateful, never forget. #DDay80

So there you have it. Despite claiming to be left-wing, the SNP don’t care if there is a Tory government after the next election. But helpful of the SNP’s deputy leader in Westminster to make it clear that when choosing between SNP and Labour, only Labour wants the Tories out.

Great fun, great response this afternoon for the Number 1️⃣ choice for #UxbridgeAndSouthRuislip , @DannyBeales . Lots of disaffected Tory voters, switching to Labour for its positive message on the #CostOfLivingCrisis , to #SaveUxbridgePoliceStation and new #HillingdonHospital .

Thank you @NewJournal for giving me the space to write about my brother Ted, to highlight the personal costs on people of following the lockdown rules.

In this piece about his brother Ted, Camden cllr Richard Olszewski underlines the hard sacrifices people who have followed the lockdown rules - in law, and spirit - have made. His brother was dying and he couldn't go to see him. He couldn't say goodbye.

A year ago today, I fell off a ladder & smashed my left elbow to smithereens.👇 Since then: two operations to piece my arm together & so many visits to the Royal Free I cd be registered to vote there. Still not 100% but huge 💙 to all the #NHS staff who have looked after me.

A hundred years ago today, my dad, Zdzisław Wiktor Olszewski, was born. Seen here with my mum, Leila, in our back garden in Chiswick in the late 1950s/early 1960s. As centenaries go, this one is quite moving. I will toast him in the manner he would approve, Sto lat! 🥃 🇵🇱

In 40 years as a Labour member, I cheered new leaders like Kinnock, Smith & Blair, because they offered hope for Labour and the country. Same for Keir Starmer. But I’ve never before felt palpable relief that a morally dark period in Labour was coming to an end. I celebrate that.

Tonight Camden council approved the #CostOfLiving budget I proposed: -make permanent, @SadiqKhan ’s #FreeSchoolMeals in primary schools -renewed our £2m cost of living crisis fund -£4m annual voluntary sector funding -£1.3m family support fund. Shame Tories/LibDems didn’t support.

On @Channel4News , Matthew Syed called the #BBC a “state broadcaster”. It’s not; it’s a public service broadcaster. A pity that @campbellclaret didn’t get the chance to respond. A state broadcaster is under the editorial control of the state. That’s not the BBC - yet.

As I arrive at Belsize Priory health centre for my #COVIDVaccine , it’s good to see this great example of council housing built under Camden council’s community investment programme. Quite an improvement on the multi-storey car park that used to be there.
