Well this made my afternoon. First time I've seen Metropolitan Police taking action against the serial red route blocking ice cream vans on Westminster Bridge SE1 - @se1.news on Bluesky KenningtonPplOnBikes


In eight years of bombing ISIS in Iraq and Syria, the UK says it has killed precisely one civilian. Two years ago I started looking for them. While searching for a victim, Emma Graham-Harrison and I uncovered a mystery. A brief thread of our findings: theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/a…



🏳️🌈Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, has said “sorry” to the LGBT+ community for his force’s past homophobic persecution. He's the first UK police chief to apologise. The RVT welcomes this apology which Paul O’Grady and Peter Tatchell campaigned fervently for.



50 years ago as a schoolkid, I volunteered at the glorious Penrhos Reserve on Anglesey/Yns Mon, forging a lifelong love of nature. Now there are plans to destroy it in an act of greed-driven vandalism. Please sign so Senedd Cymru will debate this issue. petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/2454…


I resigned my membership of The Labour Party this morning in protest at the leadership's continued refusal to support an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Keir Starmer is woefully out of touch with his members, and with national and international opinion.


As predictable as the first cuckoo of Spring, news of Virgin Media ❤️'s grotesque annual price hike. Almost 9% this year, for a generally mediocre service. The company's name is mud in my neighbourhood. Biggest topic on community chat today? Who to dump Virgin for.



If reports are true that trailblazing Black MP Diane Abbott will be blocked by The Labour Party from standing again in Hackney, it will cause terminal damage to the party. Keir Starmer's contempt for the left and centre of his own party appears bottomless.




From Missy Ryan. Top Pentagon general Charles Q Brown struggled with civilian harm issues in his time battling ISIS. Now he struggles to convince Israel to use greater restraint against Hamas [article suggests I'm still with Airwars. I'm not, of course] washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

Hey Hackney Labour Diane Abbott - pretty sure this fella Ryan Ahmad isn't standing for Labour? Leaflet through Clapton doors today...
