An arson attack on a Jewish ambulance service isn’t about Israel. It isn’t about Zionism, or American imperialism, or capitalism, or war in the Middle East. It’s about Jews. It’s about making British Jews feel fearful in their own homes. Just like Bondi Beach, and Heaton Park, all over again.

Merci !

Speeding contributes to half the fatal collisions on London's roads. TfL & Met Police are trialling new radar-based speed cameras on 20mph & 30mph roads in 9 boroughs across London. Slow down. Save Lives. #VisionZeroLDN tfl-newsroom.prgloo.com/news/tfl-lau...

Fantastic to be out on the doorstep in Balham this sunny afternoon. Great to hear such positive feedback about Wandsworth Labour freezing council tax at the lowest level in the country. We're committed to supporting our community.

This is awful news for anyone not in one of these hideous machines. www.gbnews.com/lifestyle/ca...

Delighted to announce that following the consultation, I'm giving the green light to make Oxford Street traffic-free.

💥Oxford St Pedestrianisation Approved💥 With the majority of Londoners supporting the change, I'm delighted @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social has approved the plans to transform this iconic street. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So as I struggled with miscarriage after miscarriage before having my 🌈 baby, Reform would seriously think I should pay more tax during that agony. This policy isn’t just a slippery slope to a handmaids tale dystopian future - it’s a deliberate step towards it www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Brilliant news from Wandsworth Council who are waiving parking permit fees for car clubs. 👏 I’ve been a car club user myself and know how important shared cars are for residents who don’t want to own a vehicle but still need occasional access to a car. www.putneysw15.com/default.asp?...

This week, an X user created an AI video of me being chloroformed and prepared for rape. Victims are told it's not real and they're getting offended for no reason. But nudification tools are weapons of sexual assault, and the harm they cause is real 👇 jessasato.substack.com/p/ai-nudific...

My kids woke up so excited this morning for the first night of Hannukah and now yet again we have a festival where I’m very conflicted about whether it’s safe to take them to synagogue to celebrate. Communities shouldn’t have to live like this.

I went to bed excited to celebrate the first night of Chanukah tonight. I woke up to a text from my sister in Sydney reassuring us that she wasn’t at the candle event on Bondi Beach where 11 people have been killed in a shooting targeting the Jewish community. Feeling sick with relief - and horror

I am delighted that Trinity Cllrs @jackmayorcas.bsky.social and @lizzydobres.bsky.social are restanding to continue their stellar work locally. Local elections are coming up on May 7, 2026 - make sure you register to vote and re-elect these passionate voices for local people on Wandsworth Council.

I’m very proud to have been part of this report with @pactsuk.bsky.social and @sarahcoombesmp.bsky.social on the serious and growing problem of Ghost Plates. The past couple of months have been incredibly eye-opening, to say the least: transportsafetyappg.org.uk/inquiries/ve...

Trapped in traffic and stuck travelling long distances to work because of car-centric planning? Be grateful, says Mercedes-Benz’s latest advert which aims to persuade us that spending two years of our lives stuck inside a car is somehow actually a good thing.

Make no mistake. Those who spearheaded the Gaza genocide will try to relaunch it in a more ruthless manner, at the earliest opportunity. They will fail only if there will be an alternative vision, one of recognition, life and equality for everyone.

Now, more than ever, Londoners from all communities must stand together, show allyship to our Jewish friends and neighbours, and be united in our rejection of hatred.

thinking of everyone emerging tonight on this horrible day, our community is strong and this is our home

One reflection talking to other Jews today is how unshocking this is. Numbing, upsetting, scary but not shocking. We all knew it was coming. Given the enormous rise in antisemitic incidents in recent years, it's a surprise it hasn't happened more often.

This is as close as you get to an open announcement of genocidal intention, from a member of Netanyahu's cabinet.

I have supported the creation of a Palestinian State my whole life. Just last week, I reaffirmed my support for the UK recognition of Palestine as a state in a joint letter with more than 100 Labour colleagues. #Palestine

More than two in three drivers have shown support for a nationwide pavement parking ban, according to a new poll, reports GB News. www.gbnews.com/lifestyle/ca...

By continuing business as usual, Israel’s international partners are allowing the Israeli government to continue with its genocidal campaign with no consequences beyond symbolic gestures of disapproval and statements. The time to act is now - me @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

And that's why they got a London Overground line named after them.

Oh captain, my captain.

The equivalent of a classroom full of children are killed in Gaza by the Israeli military each day, according to UNRWA. No child should have to live through this. It must never become normal. (1/3)

I'm going to be on BBC Breakfast on the sofa tomorrow morning at 07:15 talking about fake e-bikes. Tune in! This is about the All Party Parliamentary Group report I authored, with @fusionmedia.bsky.social

Very much enjoying #Wimbledon on 5 Live for the first time. Audio commentary is such a different skill to describing events for TV. Rallying behind (!) the exceptionally talented players and in awe of their versatility. For me, tennis has long been the truly beautiful game.

As the author, I’m immensely proud of this report. But mainly I hope people read it and take notice. This is about the rise in ‘fake e-bikes’, and what’s driving it appgcw.org/resources/in...

NEW REPORT 🚨: Today, we release a new report "Unregulated and Unsafe: The Threat of Illegal E-Bikes", calling for urgent action from the Government to protect people from fire and safety risks from "fake e-bikes". The full report is available here: appgcw.org/resources/in...

Even in the context of what we already knew about the effects of physical activity on health, this is pretty extraordinary stuff.

This would be the same Robert Jenrick that said during the Tory leadership campaign: "If I was an American citizen I would be voting for Donald Trump".

When Starmer was at the White House last night, I said that with Trump, things can go wrong very quickly. And they have. The treatment of Zelenskiy by Trump and Vance in the Oval Office is one of the most shocking political things I can remember. Viscerally, obviously awful.

One of the most shameful episodes in US history. 24 hours ago feels like a different century.

Remember: the televised punishment & humiliation meted out to Zelensky just now could be done to any NATO ally facing similar aggression. The sense of sneering hostility & contempt by Trump & Vance isn’t specific to Ukraine.

Oded Lifshitz, a courageous man who fought for decades against injustice, was snatched from his home at the age of 84 by Hamas and was abandoned to die as a hostage by the Israeli government. May his memory be a blessing.

Behaviour change 🤝 infrastructure. Yesterday #ActiveTravelEngland met with the Transport Committee to discuss Gov plans to promote cycling & walking. Thank you @chrisboardman.bsky.social for your championing of Bikeability—we agree that working in tandem with infrastructure is key for progression.

🏠 Labour’s Renters’ Rights Bill is bringing real change; ending no-fault evictions, banning bidding wars, and capping upfront rental costs. Today, I’ve also backed amendments to: ✅ Stop unfair advance rent payments ✅ Protect students from early tenancy pressure ✅ Support bereaved families

Foreign influence and industrial pumping of disinformation on a scale we’ve not previously seen. He’s tweeted re UK politics over 200x in the last 9 days. He’s the richest man in the world and owns one of the world’s biggest social ‘media’ platforms. We must fight back www.ft.com/content/dd4b...

Very good explanation of how the devastating California fires are a perfect example of a "compound climate disaster", when a series of exceptional conditions coincide to create something truly unprecedented. As it warns: expert more of the same.

This is not what he said and they know it. Something very disturbing has happened to much of the British press and a fair amount of conservative politics. The extremist Musk tail wagging the formerly mainstream dog.

Suspect we'll hear rather a lot less about this today than we did when it was was people protesting against catastrophic climate change, rather than the right to hang onto their multimillion pound inheritances

I was proud to co-sponsor & speak for this motion to support Standing Together / Omdim B'Yachad / Naqef Ma’an at the Jewish Labour Movement's AGM tonight. It passed with 81% of the vote! If you're in the UK & want to get involved in promoting Standing Together, sign up at ukfost.co.uk

This evening at the Jewish Labour Movement AGM I was proud to propose a motion in support of Omdim Beyachad. Having known the organisation since 2019, I could not be more proud that the motion was overwhelmingly passed. It sends a powerful message of hope. You can read it in full below⤵️

Today is the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. Today we remember all those who have lost their lives on our roads. But we should also remember that these are not accidents. These are results. These are the results of the choices we’ve made as a society.
