An investigation into Russian interference in our politics is long overdue. And we all know who should be questioned first.

Give up with YP - join the Greens. We already know what we’re doing and we do it very well.

You would be most welcome here x

Wonder what Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk is thinking about his Labour Party.

Is London still open?

Maybe time for Sadiq to resign and let @zackpolanski.bsky.social run this great city!

🚨 Lion Wood Consultation Closes FRIDAY!

We’re so lucky to have the city’s only ancient woodland here in #ThorpeHamlet, but we all know how inaccessible it is to enjoy.

The City and County Councils want to fix it. Have your say on the plans while you can!

When my second child, Teddy, was born back in December I was fortunate enough to be working for myself - so paternity leave wasn’t an issue. But for my first born, and for millions of parents across the country all Dads are entitled to is 2 weeks off. That’s simply not enough.

There’s a chronic issue of litter along Koblenz Avenue which neither the city nor county councils have any interest in clearing up.

No sooner do volunteers do a litter pick than it’s back to “normal”.

Maybe part of the problem is the complete lack of bins along this busy footpath.

Happy New Year! 🥳

Double celebrations as the Christmas Cooker has also been removed!!

What are my resolutions this year?

1. Post more on BlueSky 📝
2. Don’t get angry and throw my cooker off the balcony 🧘
3. Eat more greens 🥬

🤷‍♂️ Maybe they burnt the Christmas Turkey and threw it out in frustration?

Either way, not cool. I’ve reported to the Council to get this picked up!

🦁🌳 Lionwood is receiving just under £500k from the Greater Norwich Growth Board to help make this beautiful green space in Thorpe Hamlet more accessible, and ensure its success as a haven for wildlife.

This is fantastic news and I look forward to following up to get a plan on when work will begin!

An unexploded device? In Thorpe Hamlet? On a match day?

What a nightmare 🥹

Pls steer clear of our lovely little corner of Norwich if you can - just for today!

It wouldn’t take much at all for us to start requiring developers in the UK to build facilities like this. CIL is great, but it relies on councils or community groups to have the inclination and ability to do something with it. Instead, let’s make the developers build community facilities.

This new legislation gives Councils the opportunity to hold public rental auctions on shops sat empty for more than 366 days - a great chance for us to curate a better kind of high street.

Let’s hope Labour-led Norwich City Council have the guts to use it.

What happens when government that wins 33% support from people who voted gets 100% power?

Great dissastisfaction.

I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.

👊 This is what community in action looks like.

Last night residents from across #ThorpeHamlet braved the cold to discuss a plan for making the roads in our area safer for our kids.

@liamcalvert.bsky.social also attended to talk through the complexities of parking and traffic enforcement.

I’ve had some really interesting conversations recently with business leaders in Norwich saying how the Labour-led City Council’s lack of vision and support for the business is killing the high street in the county’s economic hub.

We need something bold…
