At last night’s Peoples’ Questiontime, the frightening attacks in Golders Green were raised. Antisemitism has no place in our city or country. My thoughts are with the Jewish community and all affected. We must stand firmly against antisemitism and Islamophobia, hate and division cannot win.

✡️ If you want to stop #zionist and #antizionist being used as a code for Jew hatred and #antisemitism in the @greenparty.org.uk and beyond, please support this emergency motion. springconf2026.greenparty.org.uk/std/Clarifyi... ❎️ You can join the party to do so here: join.greenparty.org.uk

At Transport & Air Quality Committee meeting on Richmond Council, I voted against the Lib Dem decision to keep an #ebike monopoly, swapping Lime for Forest. Two companies provides choice, resilience against operator failure and better connectivity across London. richmond.nub.news/news/local-n...

Can you imagine bragging about what an irresponsible law breaking nob you are? He isnt fit to be allowed to drive.

Join us for a friendly and energising Green Action Day in Ham on 28 March — perfect for new members and experienced volunteers. We’re delighted that Caroline Russell, Green Party Member of the London Assembly, will be joining us! All details: actionnetwork.org/events/actio...

"Research has found that when cities invest in safer infrastructure for walking and cycling, the benefits extend well beyond people on bikes. In many cases, drivers see smoother traffic flow, safer streets, and even shorter travel times." Non-technical summary. momentummag.com/just-7-ways-...

You are five times more likely to survive being hit by a driver doing 20mph vs a driver doing 30mph. Great to see Enfield rolling out new life saving 20mph zones. Slow down. Slower speeds save lives. #VisionZeroLDN. 👏👏 Enfield Council

I’m standing with mothers on hunger strike outside Parliament, calling for action — because climate action is food security, and children must be protected. No child should ever go hungry.

I just emailed my MP through the #CleanWaterNow campaign 🌊 calling for a new water law to stop pollution and restore rivers, lakes and seas. Every voice matters – will you join me? action.friendsoftheearth.uk/target/clean...

🚲 I voted to keep Lime and add Forest Bikes to Richmond Council at the Transport and Air Quality Committee on 16 March. Reasons: 1. Choice for residents 2. Resilience of provision 3. Connectivity around London. Shame Richmond residents won't get to use these new Lime bikes. 🧵1/2

Councils in Wales have been given new powers to install side road zebra crossings at junctions. Join Living Streets campaign to bring side road zebras to streets across the UK – we all deserve to cross side streets safely! @livingstreets.bsky.social act.livingstreets.org.uk/page/188243/...

Time to share my regular round-up of activities as councillor for Ham, Petersham and Richmond Riverside and Leader of the Opposition. If you have any issues, please email me via [email protected]

Today, we're publishing Don't Steal This Book - a (mostly) empty book from almost 10,000 authors, protesting the theft of their work by AI companies. 🧵 1/3

Fuel has jumped 10p a litre here and is currently £1.36. Its still to cheap as people are driving everywhere, idling and wasting fuel. Adding 2p as increased fuel duty won't make a blind bit of difference to them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Got an issue in Ham, Petersham and Richmond Riverside? Come to the ward surgery today, and I'll see how I can help. We're in Costa on Ham Parade, between 11am-12pm, no appointment needed.

🙌 Pleased to see this quick response by @LBRUT to residents' concerns about speeding vehicles on Chruch Rd, Ham. 🙏 Here's hoping people pay attention and slow down!

🚗 💨 Pollution alert! Walk, cycle, catch the bus, tube or overground and avoid driving if you possibly can! This will help people with asthma or other lung and heart conditions to get on with their days safely.

Hoping the Iranian people can now get the leaders they say, instead of the murderous IRGC #freeiran

Time to share my round-up of my councillor activities for the last two weeks. Last Friday I was shadowed by a Year 12 pupil from the secondary school in my ward, Grey Court. She was interested in everything and it was so good to be share with a young person something of local democracy.

There are no words to describe this cruelty.  Israeli forces raided Al Tabaqa near Hebron, brutally attacking and detaining Palestinians as part of routine violence in the occupied West Bank. (1/2)

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Demand better transport in new development! Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/dema...

I’m totally here for a radical overhaul of driving culture. It is weirdly, so normal that people in vehicles feel it is acceptable to drive fast close to people walking or cycling along a road. Do they have any idea how threatening their behaviour is?

Caught doing 72mph in a 30 limit. Just 6 months ban and a £666 fine. Imagine if he'd actually hit someone? When will we take road danger seriously/ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

Well deserved TfL celebration today of the work of the Sarah Hope Line set up after a terrible bus crash injured Sarah, killed her mother and caused her daughter to lose a leg. The Mayor “Sarah has single handedly changed the way London responds to tragedy” tfl.gov.uk/travel-infor...

Politics London discussing driverless taxis casually referring to “jaywalking pedestrians”. Jaywalking is not a thing in UK law. Transport for London and Government had better not be asleep at the wheel on this.

I find this article persuasive. I know from my own anti-fascist organising that many left-wing Jews - including many who have been extremely vocal against Israel's actions in Gaza, turning up at protests week after week, having many difficult conversations - have a complex relationship with Zionism.

I've just supported the People's Emergency Briefing. If you want to as well (and can afford to do so), here's link: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/the-people...

Jewish Greens have come out opposing Zionism is racism. Since 2018 I have worked with Jewish Green to keen Green members safe and ensure the party cannot to be falsely accused of antisemitism. This jeopardises all these efforts. jewishgreens.greenparty.org.uk/2026/02/12/w...

The government has included the river Thames at Ham and Kingston (by the YMCA Hawker Centre) to be a recognised open water swimming site. This is the link to the swimming status consultation. It is really quick to do. saveourlandsandriver.org.uk/ham-and-king...

The consultation on the water bathing designation.

It's been a busy couple of weeks with committee meetings, two sets of interviews for senior positions at Richmond Council, volunteering at the Holocaust Memorial Day workshops at Richmond synagogue and lots of casework. If you're a ward resident, contact me via [email protected].

🏊‍♀️'Idyllic' #Ham and #Kington are going to becime the first official bathing area on Thames. 🏊‍♂️Thanks to efforts by local wild swimmers the Bluetits. thelondonstandard.pressreader.com/article/7566...

13 #LibDem councillors failed to represent their residents at the last Full Council meeting in #Richmond. Some absences were due to illness, annual leave, caring responsibilities, or bereavement. Others are serial offenders who regularly miss meetings: richmond.nub.news/news/local-n...

Reminded by Fire plenary this week to dig out the response from former fire commissioner Andy Rowe to a question about LTNs and delay to brigade attendance times. ⏱️ 🚒 Turns out low traffic streets support brigade attendance times.

If you live in Ham, Petersham or Richmond Riverside, and have a concern about our ward, come to our councillor surgery on Sat 7 Feb. We'll be in Costa on Ham Parade between 11am-12pm, no appointment needed.

Why are #Richmond Lib Dems so keen to challenge the decision not to build a new secondary school in #Mortlake? Councillor Niki Crookdake pressed for an answer last week... any answer! Watch the full session of the Education and Children's Services Committee: richmond.public-i.tv/core/portal/...

Councillor @andreefrieze.bsky.social organised a police speed check on Church Rd this morning, in response to residents' requests and her own experience of walking and cycling down this road. Over an hour and a quarter, 18 people were pulled over for speeding.

More than 16 years since Eilidh Cairns was tragically run over and killed while cycling along Notting Hill Gate, Westminster Council has come up with a good plan to keep people safe while crossing the road or riding their bikes along Bayswater Rd. www.standard.co.uk/news/transpo...

Between 7.45-9am today, I joined police on Church Road for a speed check. Within 3 minutes, police stopped someone driving at 30mph. During the 75 mins I was there, 2 people were logged doing 35mph, another 33mph, someone at 32mph and two 29mph. In total 18 people were stopped for speeding.

At Transport Committee on Monday 2 Feb, I brought up safety issues on Church Rd, Ham. In response to my and residents' calls for action, the Chair promised officers would look into: 🚚 Signs saying the road is unsuitable for HGVs, 🚫20mph signage, 🚶🏽‍♀️Warning to drivers that pedestrians use the road. 1/2

Here's Leader of the Opposition, @andreefrieze.bsky.social challenging the Council on its lack of transparency around its #AI policy last week. Greens continue to champion transparency, environmental issues and public accountability. Watch the full meeting: cabnet.richmond.gov.uk/ieListDocume...

11 Greens out canvassing in Ham on Sunday - valiant efforts, well done everyone 💚 (The rain stopped shortly after this!) @andreefrieze.bsky.social @chaswarlow.bsky.social

Richmond's Green Party councillors have pushed the ruling administration to help households and communities cut energy bills and carbon emissions. ✅ #Richmond Council yesterday revealed it will provide funding for community energy projects. Green councillors have been demanding this for years.
