Exactly right and what a blessing for Ms Rantzen and her family that this is so.
Esther Rantzen is living proof of this. Since she announced her Stage IV cancer in May 2023, she has outlived two premierships, Catherine O'Hara, Matthew Perry, and Dolly Parton. Amd she is thankfully still with us. #assistedsuicide

Thanks to Patsy for leading the preparatory work that meant today’s meeting had such a positive outcome 👏 Croydon Caribbean Credit Union does fantastic work. For anyone who’s interested in finding out more and/or to join, check out their website: cccreditunion.co.uk/
It was a pleasure to meet the incredible volunteers who operate the Croydon Caribbean Credit Union at Ramsey Court, alongside Councillors @PatsyjCummings and @chrisclarkcpfc . The Credit Union has been supporting the local community since 1967 by offering safe savings and low-cost loans. Today's meeting resulted in a positive outcome and serves as a strong example of what can be achieved when we work together for the benefit of Croydon.

Thank you @LabourSJ for inviting @gareththomasMP , Minister for Services, Small Businesses and Exports, to meet some of Croydon’s businesses at a round table discussion. It was great to join Gareth, Sarah and Julie for a walkabout on London Road, visiting local businesses and hearing directly from owners about their challenges and opportunities. Supporting Croydon’s business community is vital for our borough’s growth and resilience. #Croydon #SmallBusiness #Community

Our local pubs, libraries, and leisure centres can be saved with a new Community Right to Buy. @FloEshalomi and @AlexJJNorris agree on the need for this important new policy.

There is an urgent need for more fostering. Is this on your wishlist? Young people & Croydon Borough need you to step forward. The alternative: Young people may be placed further away from their families. Transform the lives of children and young people: 👇🏾👇🏻Contact Info: 👇👇🏽💬

Sickle cell patients face poor NHS care, rising medication costs & a lack of pain management. As a mother & Chair of CCC Hydrotherapy, I know hydrotherapy could be a game-changer. Sign the petition & demand change! petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Urgent and necessary work from the Prime Minister. Good to see this finally being given the priority it deserves
Knife crime is a national crisis that we must tackle head on. Our Coalition to Tackle Knife Crime brings together politicians, families of victims, young people and community leaders to drive forward our mission to take back our streets and half knife crime in the next decade.

Another day of speaking to voters in Kingston who are ready for change. From homeowners to renters, business owners to key workers. Polls show it’s between Labour and the Lib Dems here, with the Tories trailing in third place. Vote Labour on July 4th!
