To become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave - Assata Shakur Pic of the day #photography

Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom release a joint statement:

For my safer streets summer campaign, I visited high streets across London. In deprived areas, gambling shops were everywhere. But the wealthiest high streets? I couldn’t find any. Remove Aim to Permit powers & allow councils to take control and deliver safer streets for all.

On my way to a funeral and thinking 🤔…. Life isn’t really too short, we waste the days we are given. Make today a good day for yourself and everyone you meet👌🏾

Oh the indignity of it … 🤣🌸

“Summertime and the grass is cool, yea! 😎 👌🏾

Nationally, Black workers earn 6% less than White colleagues. In London, the gap rises to 23.8% - and hits 37% in the public sector. It’s time for mandatory ethnicity pay gap reporting, alongside action plans. ✊🏾 Equality can’t wait! ✍🏾

Today at #MaryonPark SE7 #SummerFest (north of the #MaryinWilsonAnimalPark). I had a great time dancing and is glad I went, rather then sitting in my garden with a larger … which is what I am off home to do now anyway 😆🍻

Lovely views, but my eyes see it much better.

#BostallHeathFC Celebrating 10 years with a tournament #SouthWoodFC. These are the self-funded #grassroots Group out there doing it sustainably by themselves, for themselves 👏🏾👏🏾 Many congratulations and wishing you 10* more successful years 🎉

TfL is proposing to close #CapitalCall, an assisted transport service that was set up in 2003 to supplement #Taxicard. You can read more about the changes and respond to the consultation on our website at: haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/capital-call The consultation closes on 6 August 2025.

I'm calling for a parliamentary debate on the “aim to permit” rule that forces councils to approve new gambling shops, even when high streets are already overrun and communities object. Local voices should matter. Community cohesion should matter. Let's put people before profit.

I am really proud of my role in this achievement. This initiative was nearly 2 years late in being launched. I ensured #CommunityEngagement and got it over the line. Please support Greenwich Giving if you can. #CommunityFirst royalgreenwich.public-i.tv/core/portal/...

Oh lovely 😊 I won some prizes on the #Tombola at #HornfairPark’s #SummerFest this afternoon 👏🏾👏🏾

At #StBenetsChurxh #summerfare yesterday. I did not win a thing from the Tombola but found some lovely little things to buy. It was great to catch up with the parishioners who are always volunteering at these events.

It was great to welcome the #DeputyMayor Councillor @davidlgardner.bsky.social to witness and support the opening of the new #children’s section in #AbbeyWoodMemnrialGarden today 👏🏾👏🏾

On Politics Live last week, I welcomed the suspension of trade talks with Israel, but the UK must go further and faster. We need a permanent ceasefire, full humanitarian access, and an end to arms sales. The time to act is now.

The sound of the waves will suffice 🌊

This is hilariously wonderful 😆 Pigeon voting for kittens 🐈‍⬛!! But I can’t help wondering who will attempt the first bite 😳

I’ve joined over 300 public figures in signing this letter because the UK needs to go further and faster to help the people of Gaza. The scale of human suffering demands action now.

When you are too predator! Total abandonment 😻

I first  came across #AirInk at the #AssociationLocalGovernment conference in 2018. The #innovation produces #blackink from #airpollution and was developed in #India. I'm unaware of this product being produced / used on any scale in UK / Europe. www.designboom.com/technology/g...

My #veggie-patch is Babba’s #dustbowl. So my carrots 🥕 and potatoes 🥔 are defo not going to grow this year! I’ve also seen the 🦊 digging and eating from there😖
