Some photos from my very short walkabout this morning - literally just round the corner from where I live in Southall and back. Visited Sam’s Recycling on the Balfour Industrial Estate off Johnson Street. Complaints of a burning plastic odour and air pollution in the area. t.co/QMIpXkdZP…

We pay hundreds of thousands for representatives who say they are on our side, except when it comes to doing anything about inequalities.

Ealing Labour champion a London living wage, yet couldn’t even manage to pay their own catering workers that amount. Maybe it’s time for a ‘seasonal’ CEO, and zero hours managers, salary cap?

It’s already paying massive agency fees and management salaries and pensions, none of which adds anything to efficiency, but we’re all paying for it. Yes, the £15 an hour minimum wage issue is a local as well as national issue.

Southall is a Labour stronghold, as I’m sure you know. Labour national party leaders - Blair, Brown, Miliband, Corbyn, Starmer - it makes no difference to life here. x.com/DvdMrsdn/statu…

Neither Corbyn or Starmer will fix our pavements or empty the bins.

The Labour Party does not stand up for local people. We will.

Money to pay new chief exec more than prime minister, new cabinet posts and Jubilee street parties. £15 and hour is actually what most voters believe is a fair minimum wage. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
