Dirty Russian money “ridiculously” inflating local house prices, says MP
The Socialist Agenda for Southwark was founded in 2021 by left-wing Labour Party activists in Southwark.
It is a project of the Labour Left in Camberwell & Peckham, Bermondsey, and Dulwich and West Norwood.
They discuss a wide variety of local issues and possible council strategies, including education, equalities and communities, the economy, social care, the environment and housing.
