Got my appointments for Covid Vaccine Jabs!

Good news. I was able to book my Covid vaccine jabs today on NHS site in 10 minutes. 1st dose next Sunday.

Westfield is just 15 minutes cycle away from my home.

I only needed my NHS number, (you probably have a card or letter with the number somewhere) date of birth and postcode. 

We still live in very difficult times but hopefully this is to me light at the end of the tunnel. 

 

I do get it that some are very suspicious of the vaccinations and considering the conduct of our national government over the course of the pandemic and the various scandals, I am not surprised this is so. 

I failed my O level biology twice so I am in no position to lecture people but personally I trust our scientists (not Boris) to make the right call on this. 

Please go and get yourself vaccinated as soon as possible. 

The Great Tory Train Robbery

"Dear Colleague, will you join me on Friday 4 October to campaign against the Great Tory Train Robbery?  Please click here to register and I will put you in touch with activity near you.

Over the last few weeks I have been campaigning against the Tory Mayor’s plans to hike fares above inflation and close every TFL ticket office in London. So far I’ve campaigned in Barnet, Brent, Camden, Southwark, Croydon and Tooting.

There was more coverage of our campaign in the Evening Standard yesterday, but we need to keep the pressure on the Tory Mayor if we are to persuade him to freeze fares next year.

We are holding a London-wide weekend of action on the 4th, 5th and 6th of October. We will be leafleting tube stations in London and holding street stalls in all parts of the city.

Will you join us? Click here to register.

In the middle of a cost-of-living crisis, Londoners simply cannot afford another inflation busting hike to the cost of commuting, especially while the Mayor is closing ticket offices – making commuting more difficult less safe and costing thousands of jobs.

I hope to see you there,

Sadiq Khan
Shadow London Minister

P.S – please tweet about the campaign using #GreatToryTrainRobbery

Plug No 1 from “Local Labour Round Up”

It‘s been a positive week for “John’s Labour Blog”.

On Thursday the leader of the Labour opposition in Hammersmith & Fulham Council, Stephen Cowan, here in his blog “The Cowen Report” mentioned my attack on “Why Corrupting Boris is now beyond a Joke”.

He was reviewing Labour supporting blogs.

Camden Labour Councillor and Theo’s Blog author, Theo Blackwell, has had the excellent idea of setting up a regular Labour “blog round up”. Different Labour activists will take turns at reviewing Labour blogs.

What a great idea! I'm trying to do something somewhat similar by posting on public housing issues every few weeks - "housing matters".
