My thoughts are with everyone tonight in Kingstanding following the horrific explosion in Dulwich Road - I lived off this road for 20+ years and know the community will rally round each other for support and love. Our emergency services, as ever, have shown true professionalism
Carnival time is approaching. The ever popular Shirley Carnival will take place in Shirley Park on Saturday 9th July. There are only a few stalls pitches left so if you would like a stall, don't leave it to the last minute, book it now at https://www.shirleylions.co.uk/events/shirleycarnival.html
There are few more principled people in politics than Oliver Dowden, proud to call him a friend and colleague.

Keir Starmer has spent 11 days refusing to condemn the rail strikes. On Wednesday he ordered his MPs not to take a stand against the militant unions.
Now we know why: In private, he's backing the strikes which will grind the country to a halt.
