Members and supporters join Labour's campaign

' I've spent this first weekend of the Prince's ward by-election campaign visiting our Labour members and supporters in the ward, to let them know about the campaign and ask them to get involved.

'I've been delighted with the response, with people putting up posters, pledging time, making donations, and signing up to deliver leaflets. People recognise the good work that Labour is doing in beginning the transformation of Lambeth Council, and the importance of having good Labour councillors to stand up for our estates and streets.

'I've really enjoyed this weekend as it's been a chance to speak to the many people in our area who are members of the Labour party. It's reminded me what a fantastic movement the Labour party is- made up of people from every kind of background- but who all share the belief that the Labour party is the force through which we achieve change for the better.

'If you share the values of the Labour party, why not join us?

'If you'd like to find out how to help us in this campaign, please visit the 'get involved' page.
