Well spotted @campbellclaret! I think Cllr Small-Edwards has a nice ring to it 💪🏽
Hey @JSmallEdwards get your Twitter bio updated. You’re not the candidate anymore — but the elected councillor in Bayswater ward, Westminster. I know because your proud dad has been texting to tell me ‘he didn’t just win - he smashed it!’ Time to get your mum’s Proud album out!!

Great to join @MayorofLondon at my beloved @ChelseaFC today.
Recent events highlight the importance of the work being done by @CFCFoundation to empower our young people and foster community cohesion.
In London, we are united against hatred. Our city has shown that we reject the disorder, racism and violence we have seen across the country in the last few days.
I am working closely with partners such as @CFCFoundation to ensure all of our communities are safe—and feel safe.

Disgusting comments.
@SadiqKhan has always sought to bring Londoners together while Lee Anderson strains every sinew to divide people.
Conservative MP Lee Anderson tells GB News that he thinks Sadiq Khan has "given our capital city away" to Islamists, who are "his mates".
"Islamists have got control of Khan and they’ve got control of London," he says.
