On Sunday 28 March 2021, I took advantage of the longer day with the start of the British Summer Time delivering leaflets for Sadiq Khan and Labour Party in my ward, Noel Park with my Cllr colleague and London assembly candidate, Emina Ibrahim.

It is a difficult time in the middle of a pandemic for the election to take place. However, the election is also well overdue having already been postponed by one year. Sadiq Khan has enjoyed five years as the Mayor of London. He has served Londoners well during that time. He deserves to be re-elected. It is good to see that he commands a healthy lead against the Tory candidate.

In any other election, I would be out on the doorstep speaking to residents along with my Labour Party comrades. This has not been possible thus far because of lockdown measures. It is hoped that it may be possible to knock on doors in the coming weeks with the easing of lockdown rules.
