Buona festa della Repubblica!

If we can build power-assist speed limiters on bicycles (15mph), how come we can't do the same for motors? Needs a change in the law - some hope!!!

A plaque was unveiled today at what became Tottenham Hospital, but we don't know which year, even though we have a photo - a charming group of nurses with one bowler-hatted gent, who obscures the year on the plaque.

@cycleislington.uk have been campaigning for 50 years next month. Come and give us a hand for the next 50 ;)

Well there's an unxepected surprise!!!

So much about this has me screaming into my motonormativity cushion. Why further subsidise all the wealthy people who drive? Why NOT subsidise the poorer people who don't drive?

Would be great if we applied the same level of design, testing and scrutiny used for our children's car seats to the bike lanes they ride to school in.

Happy 100th birthday to Sir David Attenborough. One of the most important natural history broadcasters, environmental educators and climate voices of our time. 💚

Congratulations Zoë

From deep in the Islington count just heard the news that my awesome colleague @zoegarbett.bsky.social has been elected mayor of Hackney. So proud of Zoë and I know she will do an incredible job for everyone living in Hackney. 🌱 🎶 🤸🏽

Today: International Workers Day. Built as the HQ of the Union of Post Workers, this unusual 1930s architecture remained offices until 2012. Now residential.

This is the right thing to do.

Love the sign!

Did you know? On the corner of Pentonville Road and Islington High Street stood an inn called the Sheepcote. Outside its door hung a sign featuring a painting of the Angel of the Annunciation. That sign is the source of the name Angel. historiclondontours.com/tales-of-lon...

A good time to celebrate astronauts. These memorials for the Apollo men are in Kennington Road.

Hannah Spencer MP in her maiden speech in Parliament: "Our struggles may be different, but our humanity is the same. We always stick together, we always fight for each other. "And that is what I want us to take forward from International Women's Day and to do that every single day."

International Woman's Day: let's honour the first woman to compete in the Isle of Man TT race. Result: an immediate ban on women (via a min. weight limit) which lasted for 16 years.

Covid Day of Reflection: A cascade of facemasks commemorate the doctors, more than 50, who died from Covid.

The RNLI was founded today, 1824, at the London Tavern, which was NOT where the plaque says it was.

The painter James Barry died today 220 years ago. More than 80 years later a plaque was erected on his house, which was demolished 40-odd years later. Result: another lost plaque. There is a contemporary drawing of the dilapidated house.

Back story: they chose a grey but when the gates were painted they didn't like it and are now considering other, darker greys. But it's definitely going to be grey.

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government. Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’ I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

Get Palantir out of the UK. Protect our NHS. Protect our country. www.thenational.scot/news/2582860...

1942 the Mendelssohns stayed in Dane House, one of 8 houses lost when Ruskin Park was created.

C Read this and get Mad. One of LCC Women's Network members tells of her experiences of cycling with her children with onlooker males thinking they know better. Men - sort yourselves out. Collectively you should be better than this. metro.co.uk/2025/12/07/c...

St Andrew's day. Who knew that the plant Forsythia was named for a direct, Scottish, ancestor of Brucie?

What would the Green Party do at the Budget? 💡 Cut energy bills by ending profiteering 🚰 Cut water bills by bringing water into public hands 🏠 Give councils the power to control rents 🚸 Lift the two-child benefit cap and extend free school meals to all Cut Bills. Tax Billionaires.

To no-one's surprise! What war on motorists???

Michelle Mone can be expelled from the House of Lords by a simple majority vote in the Commons, and then in the House of Lords. Like if she needs to go. RT if she has to go.

On today's World Day of Remembrance for Road Victims it is worth noting that in the two years since Wales implemented a national default 20mph (32km/h) there have been 25% fewer casualties on such roads with over 1,000 fewer people killed or injured. youtu.be/efr3uVKpOwY

Britain is not a country of racist bigots. Time for the decent majority to "take back control". Repost if you agree.

Our annual war commemoration: we will publish a war memorial every day from now until 11 November. Today: A memorial for the German dead of WW1 in Southgate. Not soldiers, but German civilians, interned as enemy aliens.

Ce soir, les associations lui rendent hommage avec une déambulation à vélo, le long de la piste cyclable qui porte son nom. Qu'elle ne cesse jamais de nous rappeler sa mémoire, son histoire et ses combats pour une mobilité plus sûre.
