‘Down there,” says AJ Nakasila, “that's where my friend Bobby was killed.” We’re walking through the council estate warren that backs onto Canning Town station in Newham, east London. The locals call it “Grey Town”, and it's not hard to see why. From the balconies of the crowded blocks of flats one can see the bright lights of Canary Wharf and the Gherkin. “Takes the piss, doesn't it,” he says, “when...

A leaked letter has revealed that Newham will be allowed one of the sixteen new gambling palaces proposed by the government. Favourites at the moment to host the casino are ExCeL in the Royal Docks, Stratford City and West Ham United's Boleyn Ground at Upton Park (although I have no idea what Stratford City is). Young West Ham left-back Joe Widdowson is joining Rotherham United on loan.

A dank evening, on the eve of England's débâcle at Wembley, in an unprepossessing location adjacent to an A13 flyover in East London's Beckton, would-be England striker Dean Ashton is an inspirational presence among the youngsters of one of the country's disadvantaged areas. He appears at Newham's Kickz project which provides football sessions, delivered by West Ham United in the Community, but perhaps...

On Thursday evening I was the “guest” speaker at West Ham Labour Party CLP General Committee (GC) at Stratford, Newham, East London, E15. West Ham lays claim to being the "home of the Labour Party". So this is a good place to argue why the Labour Movement needs to embrace "New Capitalism". I pretty much gave the same spiel that I gave to East Ham CLP Manor Park & Little Ilford wards in July.
