The good thing about Susan Hall making the mayoral election a referendum on ULEZ expansion is that we now have the result of the referendum on ULEZ expansion.

Hi emily m

If voters switch from Labour to Green because we supported a ceasefire in Gaza, that is not a protest vote

Choosing a party because of its policies is how democracy works

Please don’t patronize Muslim voters

I wonder if those cheering the death of 'traditional media' realise the alternative isn't enlightened independent super-sleuths for the people - it's Mario Nawfal uncritically blasting out sensationalist garbage he found on Russian Telegram channels to millions of people.

Labour performed terribly because they won, whereas the Tories performed brilliantly because they lost almost everything.

The British press, ladies and gentlemen.

So does the bounce to Khan in many boroughs mean the Westminster establishment credits it all to ULEZ and environment policies and pressures the prime minister to make positive environment policy announcements? Like they did the reverse with for Uxbridge?

None of these folks showed up when I lived on campus and white supremacists with tikki torches yelling “Jews will not replace us” marched through campus as I hid my three kids.

I would go further.

If you convert Khan's lead into Japanese Yen and map it against the inflation adjusted price of short grain rice in Latin America from 1967-69 then, assuming Mercury remains in retrograde and the Yankees win the World Series, it's a tough day for Labour.

Dear BBC, just a reminder that so far Reform hasn’t won any seats. None. Zero. Nada. Meanwhile The Green Party doing well. Look forward to you inviting them on to get their opinion as winners rather than losers…

Momentous ruling: this Govt's dangerous lack of concrete climate plans & investment is unlawful. There is no time to lose now - Govt must go back to the drawing board & urgently pull together a credible plan to put the UK back on track to delivering our climate commitments

Last night UCLA admin stood by while outside agitators attacked our students. Today they are authorizing LAPD to violently dismantle the Palestine Solidarity Encampment. I'm so inspired by our students, who have been so articulate about their demands. Shame on you, UCLA admin!

Home Office Using Home Office social media accounts for political propaganda on behalf of the Conservative Party just ahead of an election day is a clear breach of the Civil Service Code.

Not that this would worry the crooks in charge of the current government.

Ready for a set of meetings in which I will speak with compassion about anti-Palestinian racism + surveillance. We must engage with these important themes. What else am I supposed to research as a Palestinian scholar, given the existential threat to our people?
