in which the majority of Islington’s people live.
Is that true?
Yes there are plenty of estates, but does that actually make up the majority of residences?
Also worth pointing out that many of those estates have had huge investment and pretty nice with excellent playgrounds, outdoor spaces, etc.

As a rough guide the average ranking on Indicies of Multiple Deprivation of English Local Authority Districts in London

Kingston upon Thames 270th

Islington Council has done an amazing job despite a 70% - yes 70% - reduction in funding. There is still huge deprivation on those estates. They need money spent on them. There needs to be more social housing. The money simply is not there.

Riiiiiiighhht.
This is data from public health england and shows how islington is doing next to its nearest cipfa neighbours (areas most like it) and benchmarked against England.
I'd have a look through there.
London, has a massive inequality within areas. You can have LSOAs bumping up against each other that are massively different.
When new measures come out and show an area improving overall compared to other parts of the country/london, it's worth pointing out it's not always an improvement. The other areas might be getting shitter.For the more granular picture

I find it enlightening that many people who are happy to support men of the people such as Johnson and Rees Mogg, seek to belittle Emily Thornberry for being a supposed aristocrat.
Her husband is a High Court judge. His knighthood comes with the job. It is mean to add to the status of the judiciary. No High Court judge refuses the honour. It is part of the position.
Calling Emily Thornberry, Lady Nugee is crass sexism. She is a woman on her own right as a barrister and as a politician.
She is far from aloof or elitist. She is wonderfully down to earth. She has a great sense of humour and really cares. Her constituency is one of the most deprived in the country. Behind the Georgian townhouses of Barnsbury and Canonbury are huge estates in which the majority of Islington’s people live. She is known as an exceptional local MP and the warmth that people feel for her is evident when door knocking.
She is quick witted and articulate. She would be great to see against Johnson at PMQs.
