The narrative about London crime is truly so BORING to Londoners.

Those of us who walk & travel around our city safely every day, every night.

The likeliest daily risk to Londoners is of being ripped off by our landlord or somewhere charging us £4.50 for a coffee. #r4today

If we allow the state to strip people of their citizenship, we will end up in a very dark place.

Spoiler: They used the money just as wisely as anyone else would, and it's so frustrating that this still isn't a common sense assumption to make.

Hear from Julia from @inclusionlondon.bsky.social - a member of the London Loo Alliance.

Julia discusses the new 'accessible' toilet at Seven Sisters Underground Station. Action needs to be taken by TfL to ensure the people who need these toilets can actually use them!

Well worth a listen… do you think our public toilets should be sold off?

"We grant people different rights based on their genetic heritage and on which scrap of land they happened to be born on. That’s mad, isn’t it?"

I just think, when debating immigration and so on, that we should try not to lose sight of the fact that "nationality" is a made up thing.
Why does nationality matter, anyway?
Deciding someone's legal rights based on a nebulous combination of birthplace and parentage is a bit weird

I've seen many YouTube interpolations of "Steamed Hams," but this one, which expands the gag into a "My Dinner With Andre" parody, is special. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk-O...

Trump’s ICE goons dragged a childcare worker out of a bilingual daycare and preschool in front of children and parents.

This is who Trump claims is the “worst of the worst” — a woman who has dedicated her life to educating and caring for children.

The cruelty is the point.

Nice to be in the top 3 named individuals for news on social and video networks in the UK 🥰

But it's not good that there's no other left-wingers there 😬

The left urgently needs to build up an online ecosystem - and reverse the right-wing dominance 🙏

Priority number one! 🎯

"The idea of deporting people with settled status is disgusting, and anyone proposing it should be immediately drummed out of polite society. Breaking promises made in good faith to our friends and neighbours is racist, extremist and immoral."

I'm basically shouting at the sky here, but still.
It’s racist, it’s extremist and it’s immoral
The right is still calling for deportations, and the government is still being cowardly about it. Also: London’s first green belt; some notes on a shark; and some news, on my next book.
