BBC now suggesting they didn't interview Zack Polanski on Laura Kuenssberg when he was elected because they weren't on air then. Which is technically true because he was elected on a Tuesday. However, they did air just days later on Sunday and featured interviews with Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch

Great to meet Sonia Winifred yesterday, to discuss sandpits in the park.
She is rightly proud of her achievements in keeping the parks open for all to enjoy, and reporting the accumulated litter.
In the Home Office scandal, she supported the Windrush Generation in getting lawyers to fill in forms.

The new Silvertown bus shuttles are zero emissions, but the real issue is the flood of cars and lorries most of which won’t be zero emissions 🚗💨
The bike buses are an afterthought from the Mayor, greenwashing a £2.2 billion project that should’ve been scrapped or used for buses walking & cycling.

Powerful thread on the impact of disability on employment - particularly relevant today as we process the government’s changes to disabled people’s benefits announced yesterday.
I used to be a bike mechanic. When I became disabled, i asked for a hydraulic ramp as i could no longer lift bikes up and for someone to bring bikes down the stairs for me. I also said i might need occasional help with strength related tasks from my colleagues. I wanted to stay in my job. 1/-

Performative cruelty.
Benefit cuts: Govt admits from November 2026, 370k people who already get PIP will lose it and another 430k who would qualify now no longer will. They will lose £4500 a year each. In addition 150,000 carers who look after them will not get their £83.30 a week Carer’s Allowance.
