Install traffic calming measures on Portway #Newham #SaferStreets

If you’re not sold on the walking & cycling benefits or the cleaner air, maybe reduced crime will persuade you that traffic reduction schemes on local streets are a positive change!

Labour's problem under Starmer isn't that to doesn't know what do with power, it's that it doesn't know how to tell people what it's doing and weave all of that that into a coherent and compelling narrative. Which is why I'm only now hearing about it from a backbencher on Bluesky.

Proportional Representation would mean that: ❤️ Everyone can vote with their heart 🗳️ No vote is ignored ⚖️ A broad range of views are heard in Parliament 🫱🏽‍🫲🏻 Parties are encouraged to work together and find common ground The new Prime Minister should make it a priority.

Sigh. Another day, another request to table a motion at my CLP (this time about PR) and another day where I've had to explain I can't because we've been suspended for coming up to FIVE YEARS now. FFS. #Newham #Labour 😡

👍

This is why cities need trees. Hard surfaces and parked cars can reach extreme temperatures, while shaded grass and tree-covered areas stay dramatically cooler. This is the urban heat island effect in one image: hard surfaces absorb and radiate heat, while vegetation and shade reduce it.

The UKHSA has extended the Red Heat-Health Alert until Friday 26 June at 11pm. Stay safe: ✅ Drink plenty of water ✅ Stay indoors 11am–3pm ✅ Keep your home cool ✅ Check on elderly neighbours ❌ Don't leave pets/children in cars This is a risk to life, stay safe.

Wish I could say it was out of character, but the leader of #Newham's largest opposition party gets it wrong (again). Salam Patel was not the previous chair of the Local Development Committee. That was James Beckles. The kind of mistake you make if you don't actually turn up for meetings.

And still our government insists on posting to this man's website.

Two days? I might have half a chance of finishing!

About bloody time! Hopefully the rest of the government will quickly follow suit.

Repeating my periodic call for all Labour councillors, MPs, ministers and their government departments to GET THE FUCK OFF X.

And well-deserved too!

Wow. #CaboVerde #FIFAWorldCup

"Freedom of speech in Britain is under attack," says man whose 1,000 word essay is published by the largest circulation newspaper in the country.

Harry Potter shops raided after London Centric investigation…. HMRC officials seize till receipts… ministers treating now central London gift shops as a tax enforcement issue…. www.londoncentric.media/p/harry-pott...

What's up with the Harry Potter shops in central London? London Centric's investigation into their finances was raised in the House of Commons by Kensington and Bayswater Labour MP Joe Powell. He asked ministers what it will take to get HMRC officials to check the shops are paying their taxes.

Karl Marx needs to rise up from the grave and remind many idiot workers that trillionaires wealth is just their unpaid wages.

Great to see the UK government’s new commitment to active travel. Plan is focusing on healthy everyday journeys & safe active journeys to school - investing £4.5bn over 5 years 🚲🚶🧑‍🦽‍➡️ 👏👏 Heidi Alexander & @transportgovuk.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Some news: 🇺🇦 Next month I'm driving to Ukraine. 🇺🇦 I'll be delivering an evacuation vehicle, specially modified for saving lives in areas of the highest danger. But that's only possible if I can fundraise enough - £3,500. I'd be so grateful for any support you can give. donorbox.org/johnoxleydu

The money raised will pay for the vehicle, adaptions to make it suitable for use in some of the most dangerous areas of the conflict - and the costs of getting it there. Anything above the target will go towards other essential materials, from medical supplies to drone detectors.

It's by-election Thursday! 3 polls today, with the Conservatives defending 2 seats and the Lib Dems 1 And find out who lives in a house like this... Andrew's Previews: andrewspreviews.substack.com/p/previewing...

If he killed someone with a gun or a knife it would be a life sentence. But he used his car, so it's five years. This is so fucked up.

Low Traffic Neighbourhoods are helping make London's streets safer and enable more people to walk & cycle. Great to see more being made permanent - with extensive urban drainage systems & planting to help prevent flooding & boost biodiversity.

All the talk of a FIFA family is horse shite. Families take action when a member is grotesquely mistreated. So far, nothing.

Man who is always wrong about everything is wrong again.

"Whisper it, but Badenoch is dragging the Conservatives back from the brink" (Daily Telegraph headline from six months ago)

New Survation poll of Makerfield has Burnham 10 points up. LAB: 49% (+6) REF: 39% (-1) RTR: 8% (+1) GRN: 2% (-1) LDEM: 1% (-3) CON: 1% (-1)

Which of you was this?

X is currently full of posts falsely naming Christi Hill and another officer as having arrested Henry Nowak. One names and pictures the other PC, saying, "Wanted: dead or alive". It gives his address. What more exactly will it take to get UK MPs, ministers and departments off that hellsite?

Chris Mason and the entire BBC Politics team need to put on a rocket and fired in to the Sun.

What exactly did they think would happen? www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Former #Newham mayor Robin Wales when he defected to Farage's party in March: "If I thought Reform was racist, I wouldn't be anywhere near this room." How's that going for you, Sir Robin?

Agree. Appropriation of public space in cities for selling electricity to fuel cars locks in car use and locks out alternative uses like bike lanes, pedestrian crossings or trees for shade. A green and accessible city should protect the public purpose of its streets from commercial exploitation.

Lots to agree with in here, the bias in the commentary was switched up to eleven last night. www.football365.com/news/champio...

Restore democracy to London Labour! labourhub.org.uk/2026/05/31/r...

This is messaging that should be coming from MPs, but at least Chris Boardman is being allowed to say it.

TBH, King Donald the Mad making half-naked sweaty men grapple with ea h other on his front lawn as a special birthday treat is a really cool way to celebrate Pride Month.

"We knew what we were voting for" 🤦‍♂️

In Newham we elected an executive mayor with just 30% of the vote. Absolutely ridiculous.

Fun fact.

For the Crystal Palace fans in my timeline…

The pro-Arsenal bias of the TNT commentators is doing a disservice to viewers. #ChampionsLeagueFinal

Arsenal wasting their own time at a throw-in then complain that the ref blows for halftime before they can taken the subsequent corner. #ChampionsLeagueFinal
