Thank you, and goodnight: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij0K...

Here's the Lib Dem take on what the Lambeth Greens did last night: www.instagram.com/reels/DZFGyw...

Lambeth has a new, Green, leader. But committee system Greens promised in their manifesto won't be happening. Instead, what they call a "cabinet and committee" constitutional change has been made after Lib Dem amendments. By some point tomorrow I hope to have worked out exactly that that means...

Mayor/Chair said officers and others needed "up to" 30 minutes to consider various amendments to AGM agenda. That was 45 minutes ago.

What is going on at #Lambeth Council? Green councillors had brought about Extraordinary Meeting intended to pass resolution to change governance arrangements. Meeting began and was immediately ended because Green Cllrs have changed their minds. Last week's adjourned AGM to resume in a bit...

🏙️ How are narratives about cities formed? Why do they matter?🎙️ Hear from @davehillonlondon.bsky.social on our latest podcast episode discussing public narratives around London🎧👇 buff.ly/ytwC8uh

The bit always missing from recurring "killjoys are destroying Soho's nightlife fun" narratives is that many of Soho's residents are long-standing social housing tenants who have concerns about antisocial behaviour by people with more money than manners: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... #london

Stupid game anyway.

The torment approaches. #arsenal

Live (and joyously bellowing) commentary on Champions League final coming through my window from various neighbours. Don't really need to actually watch the match at all. #arsenal

Blockers of #London housebuilding now come in a variety of shades and combinations - blue, turquoise, yellow and green. How will the Mayor respond? Plus reports on poverty/deprivation from @centreforcities.bsky.social and @trustforlondon.bsky.social: davehillonlondon.substack.com/p/on-london-...

Anyone who thinks the "King of the North" can turn Makerfield - and Britain - into a land of rich and plenty by turning off the London investment tap needs to have a squint at the latest ONS stats on regional tax and spend. Chock full of inconvenient realities: www.onlondon.co.uk/dave-hill-th...

Now confirmed: southwarknews.co.uk/featured/new... #southwark #london

Enfield Greens enable formation of minority Enfield Conservative administration. As expected. @charleswright57.bsky.social has the details: www.onlondon.co.uk/enfield-gree... #london #enfield

Yes, he's at it again. #london

A briefing is circulating to the effect that Lib Dems and Greens have done a deal in #Southwark that is set to see a Green leader of minority administration elected there at council meeting tomorrow evening. #london

Lambeth's Lib Dem-Green alliance takes next step towards changing the council's governance arrangements: www.onlondon.co.uk/lambeth-gree... #london #lambeth

The Conservatives have dropped their plan to make a legal challenge to Sadiq Khan's Oxford Street transformation plans: www.onlondon.co.uk/westminster-.... Never seemed to be a runner, TBH. #london

Without London's tax gift to the nation, Andy Burnham's telly would be a monochrome eye packed in Bakelite. Plus Lambeth's looming decision-making "chaos", James Cleverley's Elephant parade and more: davehillonlondon.substack.com/p/on-london-...

OK, cricket lovers. Lords or The Oval? www.onlondon.co.uk/ann-campbell.... Might interest @charleswright57.bsky.social.

He would be an outside bet to win, but a certainty to improve the quality of debate: www.onlondon.co.uk/talk-about-l... #london

Weird feeling watching SW1/commentariat picking through the pronouncements of Andy Burnham. Read his words carefully. He sends out signals while often leaving himself space to move, sometimes to positions quite far away from the signals.

Reminder for London taxpayers that West Ham's relegation is going to cost us each the equivalent of a Freddo bar. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Sadly, it was already too late to do a "you're fired" joke at the expense of Karren Brady. #westham

Spurs fans boarding a train out of Liverpool Street station about an hour ago. To me, apart from the phones, they look exactly the same as they did in the 1980s, haircuts and all. #london

New for On London by Tim Donovan. Greens and Lib-Dems have struck a deal in Lambeth that looks set to end Labour control and bring back the committee system of governance: www.onlondon.co.uk/lambeth-gree... #london #lambeth

The Green Party needs to get into the habit of giving straightforward answers to simple questions. If it doesn't, people will start drawing their own conclusions. Plus Arsenal, the Aylesham decision, borough power-sharing and vintage springtime film: davehillonlondon.substack.com/p/on-london-....

Another day, another Green mishap: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Barnet Council has a Labour leader again, thanks substantially to the Tories. How did that happen? www.onlondon.co.uk/barnet-counc... #barnet #london

Whether he likes it or not, a PM Andy Burnham could not keep his promises to the north of England without London's economy and its voters: www.onlondon.co.uk/dave-hill-bu... #Burnham #labour

Big interview with the Mayor of London: www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

I can't look.... haringeycommunitypress.co.uk/2026/05/20/c... #haringey #london

OK, as previously reported Labour's Barry Rawlings will resume as leader of the now No Overall Control council. The Tory group abstained from the vote to allow his appointment. This meant the sole Green councillor's "against" vote could not prevent it. Solid background to all this to come (I hope).

Lots of people round my way tooting car horns. Is this something to do with football...? #Arsenal

Andy Burnham as PM couldn't begin to keep his promises to the north of England without looking after London's economy and voters. Is he beginning to acknowledge that unfashionable reality? davehillonlondon.substack.com/p/on-london-...

Another Green councillor has resigned from #Lambeth Council, creating the possibility of Labour replacing the Greens as the borough's largest party: www.onlondon.co.uk/lambeth-seco... I will be able to add to this story later today. #London

Another #Lambeth Green Party councillor has resigned: lambeth.greenparty.org.uk/2026/05/18/j... That's the second one to go in the borough since 7 May. Greens still biggest party in Lambeth but now only by one over Labour (27-26).

Andy Burnham says he would "reindustrialise the north". Where would the money for doing that come from? Not from Greater Manchester. (Source: commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-bri...)

True this morning. Truer still this afternoon.

A legendary London venue has been brought back to life. @juliehamill.bsky.social paid a visit: www.onlondon.co.uk/julie-hamill... #london

This week's theme is 'People of London' - a celebration of ALL the people who make and have made London the beautiful city it is. ------ 'The London Underground' (from 'This Is London', 1959) by Miroslav Šašek

Andy Burnham doesn't want to say he thinks the UK should rejoin the EU, does he? Partly because he thinks doing so won't help him win Makerfield, and partly because he thinks it would compromise his "authenticity" as a "man of the people" who "stands up to 'London'." Sigh.
