If you've seen the Vermeer 'Double Vision' on show at Kenwood House, this is a superb deep-dive into the two paintings www.english-heritage.org.uk/guitar_playe...

This is the Policy Exchange press release for the "History Matters" project: it highlighted eight other findings, capturing a range of views It chose not to prioritise the 76% to 13% support for the National Trust exploring links to colonialism and slavery policyexchange.org.uk/press-releas...

In case you missed it ... Here's Katherine Hepburn exposing a fascist plan to take over America in the 1942 film "Keeper of the Flame". The parallels between that plot and what's happening in the USA and elewhere today is staggering!

Brilliant video from Jon Stone (do follow and subscribe to him at the link) on London's growing cycling infrastructure. Proud Camden gets a strong showing, and great to see neighbours like Westminster also getting the acknowledgement they deserve 😃 youtu.be/MdAz-OL09z4?...

Britons support a ban on trail hunting by 50% to 29% Support by 2024 vote Green: 64% Labour: 62% Lib Dem: 50% (net +22) Reform UK: 45% (net +5) Con: 34% (net -13) yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

Absolutely everything online seems to be devolving to video now.

Canceling the northern leg of HS2 was an act of insane self-harm

We have a deal. Decision to provide 90 billion euros of support to Ukraine for 2026-27 approved. We committed, we delivered.

Big cheers for Camden Council! 🏆 Winner of the London Cycling Campaign Awards 2025 for Active & Inclusive Travel 🙌 Bold schemes, everyday cycling, and streets that work for everyone. Proof that when councils commit, communities thrive. 💚🚴‍♀️ #Cycling #ActiveTravel #InclusiveStreets #LondonCycling

Labour Gov orders urgent review into foreign financial interference in UK politics, which is bad news for Farage and Reform UK Party Ltd.

I am a TV journalist so by definition, I watch A LOT OF TV. I cannot think of a single drama in which this - or anything like this - has happened. This geezer is just making shit up. And the increasingly laughably self-styled Newspaper of Record is publishing it.

Zebra crossing going in on Maple St as part of the C63 works.

Under construction: a new zebra crossing across Maple Street in Fitzrovia, right next to the BT Tower. Been pressing for this for some time! All part of the Cleveland Street cycling and walking changes we have worked on with Westminster 🦓 @maxsullivan.bsky.social @londonls.bsky.social

It's not a scoop when it's just the House of Commons colour 🙄

Really pleased to see Westminster leading cross-borough street works with Camden. Cycleway 63 and improvements along Cleveland St will make it safer & more pleasant for people cycling & walking between these two boroughs. 👏👏 @maxsullivan.bsky.social @adamdkharrison.bsky.social

So glad there is now a Rest Is Science ... Have been telling anyone who'll listen that the world needs this!

Need to borrow a cargo bike? Our cargo cycle share scheme is expanding across the borough. Check out @fitzrovianews.com's report on the hire locations at Cleveland Street and Alfred Place 😃 fitzrovianews.com/2025/11/27/c...

Jenrick’s campaign fuels vile far right attacks. At least 6 immigration judges have been subjected to threats since April. At least 2 have been advised to move out of their homes. One judge received a threat saying: “We know which bus your child catches”. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Good to be out speaking to local residents this evening – thanks to all our helpers! 🌹 @camdenlabour.bsky.social @rishimadlani.bsky.social

Grade II* listed Hampstead house damaged by building work > Good work from Camden's planning enforcement service protecting the borough's amazing heritage Nb This is a non-statutory service so I'm doubly pleased we've been able to keep funding it over the years 🏠 www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/2565580...

Today's BBC #Carspreading article takes a good look at the issue of the rise of the SUV, with reasons and solutions, but doesn't mention #RoadDanger at all. Children are 82% more likely to suffer fatal injuries in an SUV collision than one involving a car. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This used to be a newspaper.

I've long feared such an attack targeted at LGBT people in London--and it looks like it's what happened in the Shaftesbury Avenue murder. (And this involved racist attacks too.) We have the ability to address the means, if not the motive. We should seize it. www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/w...

Attended a beautiful World AIDS Day event at the Fitzrovia Chapel tonight - followed by a walk to the Bloomsbury site for the proposed London AIDS memorial 🙏🏾❤️ Powerful voices: songs & poetry, and a reminder of how much love & resilience sits within the community 🙌🏾

We’re cautiously optimistic about this changed attitude towards our dirty air from this government. If it is serious about protecting everyone’s health, we will also need a legal commitment to reducing NO2. Many areas have been in breach of legal limits for 15 years. #AirPollution #Dieselgate

Wages are up more in the first year of this Government than the first decade under the Conservatives. We’ve seen private investment commitments worth over £250bn secured since July, supporting 45,000 jobs.

Great to attend the opening of the new Liddell Place shared workspace with @richardolszewski.bsky.social. A fantastic initiative from Labour-led Camden’s Community Investment Programme with 14 affordable units. This will bring employment, economic benefit and growth to the #WestHampstead area.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

8. But these new stories apparently indicate the opposite—that, like many institutions, the BBC is arguably backing down from ethical and scientifically rigorous coverage in order to cater to the anti-trans agenda. Instead, it has reverted back to pejorative terms to refer to transgender people.

Unclear why this person should ever be allowed to drive again tbh www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Very big deal this. Government is proposing transitional licenses, but Greenpeace is interpreting it as honouring the manifesto pledge for no new licenses for new fields. www.businessgreen.com/news/4522446...

Today the Government announced plans to give mayors the power to introduce an overnight stay levy. CLF has been calling for these powers and we welcome the announcement. Below is a comment from @adamhug.bsky.social

The Commission looks set to push binding tech-transfer rules on Chinese FDI in strategic sector. At this rate, the upcoming December package on the Industry Accelerator Act and the automotive package could end up being the most consequential EU industrial policy move in years. on.ft.com/49He4Jr

This ruling should also prompt the governments in England, Scotland, and Wales to revisit the requirement for mandatory collective worship. We hope it is now repealed. You can read the full story on our website: humanists.uk/2025/11/19/s...

Out talking with residents in our ward this evening near Russell Square 🌹 We managed to pick up a bunch of casework and already getting it dealt with 💪🏻 @rishimadlani.bsky.social @camdenlabour.bsky.social

Amazing news. Well done to Green School Runs, local communities, Camden councillors and council officers on this success 🚌

This Transgender Awareness Week, we come together to celebrate the resilience and bravery of the transgender community in the face of relentless attacks. My message to you is simple: I am with you. I love you. I will never stop fighting for you.

Trigger warning. “In crashes, SUVs are more likely to strike vital organs in the core of adults’ bodies & heads of children. Hitting pedestrians above their center of gravity means they’re more likely to be knocked forward & down and then be driven over.” Plus more likely to hit in the 1st place.

The search in WhatsApp has definitely got worse since they introduced their AI add-ons. Way to go, lads.

"Sadiq Khan will pocket an estimated £320m a year from motorists after hiking the congestion charge, The Standard can reveal" This is bordering on the misleading, if not actively so. "Pocket" suggests he will himself get the money and sits within longstanding trend of misinformation about the mayor

America is eating Europe’s lunch again. Solvay’s rare earth processing plant in France is a genuine strategic asset. It could have scaled to cover 30% of Europe’s needs. But... www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/b...

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Pleased we were able to announce a trial of longer opening hours for Hampstead Cemetery, following local request at the environment committee tonight. Thanks to local councillors incl @shazknit.bsky.social and Lorna Greenwood for working on this this year 🌳🌹 @richardolszewski.bsky.social
