Happy #LunarNewYear to everyone celebrating the start of the Year of the Horse today.

Let's hope this positive news gets as much attention as the people who try to convince us that the UK is a murder ravaged hellscape. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Still time to catch #SublimeSpace at the #HeathRobinsonMuseum #Pinner Landscapes by Heath Robinson and other artists - works by Daniel Sturgis and Barnaby Barford below

Not the greatest #Wildflowerhour here in #SouthGosforth, but better than nothing

Some opposed our work to put nature at the heart of London. I sincerely hope that David Attenborough’s ‘Wild London’ has changed their minds. We aren’t reintroducing beavers and white storks simply because a thriving natural world is better for humans, though it is.

Today, we commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day, remembering the millions killed during the Holocaust and other genocides, and all those who have had their lives impacted by these events. We must resist hatred wherever it grows, and remember that we've got more in common than divides us.

A National Security Assessment highlighted nature as a national security risk earlier this week. Yet yesterday’s Habitats Regulations report shows many of England’s most important habitats are rapidly declining. Just 3% are in good condition. And half are in an unfavourable and worsening state 🧵

This week we shared our Private Finance briefing with MP at the House of Commons. It doesn't matter what form of private finance is applied in the NHS. The result is the same - a bonanza for the private sector, at the expense of patient care. Find the briefing on our website vist.ly/4nrab

#Penguinawarenessday so here are some penguins from my sketchbook - thanks to @rebelunicorncrafts.bsky.social for this entertaining (and much needed) brush control exercise @hayleysnailey.bsky.social @heatherlsmith.bsky.social

🚨Thames Water is on the brink of collapse. 🙋We asked its customers what should happen next. 54% think the water regulator Ofwat should put it into special administration. And over two thirds (68%) believe that Thames Water should be run in the public sector. Read the full results here.

Excellent news

If you build world-class public transport, people will use it. Six of the UK’s most used railway stations are on the Elizabeth line, and all 10 are in London.

Best wishes to everyone celebrating #Orthodox #Christmas @hayleysnailey.bsky.social @heatherlsmith.bsky.social

Another chilly morning in #Harrow although yesterday's snow has vanished. Graffiti on the town centre benches showed romance is not yet dead... @hayleysnailey.bsky.social

Merry Christmas everyone! But especially to my fellow artists @heatherlsmith.bsky.social and @hayleysnailey.bsky.social Hope you like my robins.

Reform UK have repeatedly said that Kent is their "flagship" council and "the shop window" for how they intend to run things. When they are exposed as planning to slash social care for old people, in order to hire their cronies as advisors at £150k a pop, I think people should believe them. ~AA

Delighted to find out from the #RSPB that today is #NationalRobinDay. So here are some robins.

A few plants in flower on #Greenhill allotments #Harrow and a milk thistle (??) in flower on some waste land close to my house #wildflowerhour

This Government once vowed to be “the most nature-positive [we have] ever had”. Months of blaming wildlife and stripping back protections have already made a mockery of that promise. And if the rumoured cuts to BNG go ahead, it will deal yet another devastating blow to nature.

The number of people with flu in hospital has shot up 55% from the previous week. I'm urging anyone eligible to get their flu vaccination to help prevent themselves getting seriously ill. You can book a vaccination appointment through this link. www.nhs.uk/nhs-services...

The Government are deciding whether to approve the EHRC’s new inhumane Code of Practice that will exclude trans people from public life. Will you join @genderedintelligence.co.uk and email your MP to ask them to reject the EHRC guidance? link: gi.eaction.org.uk/EHRC

At our event on the Future of Water leaders from publicly owned water systems across Europe spoke to us about their experiences in the transition from private to public, and the many forms that truly democratic participation in water ownership might take. 1/2

🤑Thames Water's profits are soaring. 😟While we struggle to pay our bills. 💧While water infrastructure crumbles. 💩While our rivers fill with sewage. 😡Absolutely disgraceful. The privatised water scam must end.

Look at this absolute professional just doing his job.

Villages are attacked at night. Homes are burned. Families scatter in the chaos. Parents lose sight of children. Elderly are left behind. Some walk for days to reach safety—without documents, support or even shelter. This is the current situation in northern Mozambique.

Three new UN World Restoration Flagships have been announced! Congratulations to Australia’s Shellfish Reef programme, Canada’s Respectful Returns initiative & South Africa’s Thicket Restoration for being #GenerationRestoration champions. Read our press release: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Spotted these plants in flower on a walk past Northwick Park hospital #Harrow today. I was really hoping for flowers on the gorse bush by the roundabout but sadly there was not a blossom to be seen #wildflowerhour

On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember those whose lives have been lost to transphobic hate and violence. Everyone in London and around the world deserves to live with dignity and be safe from harm.

🎟️ Your new all-access consumer protection just dropped ✨ The Government is announcing today that ticket resellers will be BANNED from selling tickets above face value. We've been backing music fans and we'll see you on the barrier for these brand new protections 🫶

Here’s what you won’t hear from some commentators on social media: in the year to October, London recorded 10,000 fewer violent crimes leading to injury than it did in the twelve months before I was elected. More on the progress we’re making ⬇️ www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

🚨Watch Dr Grace Brown explaining the ROSCO rip-off. 🤑Private rolling stock companies extracted at least £410 million in profits in 2023, and at least £360 million a year for the last decade. The new Rail Bill means the ROSCO gravy train keeps rolling, extracting huge profits from passengers.
