To be absolutely clear, it is impossible to vote for a party that cannot bring itself to unequivocally defend the rights of people living and working legally in this country. Because arbitrary removal of legal rights, or sudden varying of terms, for some is ultimately a threat to everyone.

Honestly feel like Labour on immigration is a political and moral crisis with potentially scary consequences

Last vacant site at Lend Lease's Elephant & Castle.

This is one of the issues London Labour insiders raised with me in this piece on Labour & London – Labour is taking the votes of the capital for granted, and is about to impose major local government austerity on councils who were hard hit first time round. www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-l...

Girls' use of parks drops after the age of 11. At a time when they should be gaining independence, many girls start to avoid parks. Why? They feel that parks aren’t for them - there is nothing to do. Also, many state they don’t feel safe.

Which is quicker: walking, or catching the C10 bus? @simoncalder.bsky.social puts it to the test www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-...

Beautiful reporting on the sad final scraps of Elephant & Castle clearance from @jim.londoncentric.media today. Considering a paid sub even though I'm not in London, in part because the writing is so fantastic, always with that little bit extra of context and detail.

Fantastic event

Can't wait to visit and see the Robert Browning primary school students, offering delicious food and drink made with fruit from Nursery Row Park in Walworth @boroughmarket.bsky.social

Meadow cutting day today

Wansey Street in 2008 and now - looking east @walworthse17.bsky.social @walworthsociety.bsky.social

Great to see the new park mural ready for painting after several weeks of workshops and discussions with local children and park users. Many thanks to the artist @taras.art.studio for leading the work! www.instagram.com/p/DOoGrZDDDY...

A scale model of what Brixton might have looked like with a motorway running through the middle, and some rather wonky blocks of flats, is the centrepiece of an exhibition about local urban planning. www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/bri...

Quiet corner off Kennington Road

Today! From noon in Pasley Park

The Lambeth Archives exhibition about housing and urban planning between 1965-1980 is totes good. www.ianvisits.co.uk/calendar/bui...

Didn’t you call them chavs and yobs for 20 years until you realised you could ventriloquise your posh-boy racism through them?

Very very good letter in the FT magazine this morning pinpointing what humans definitely do when we “learn” and why machine LLM “learning” isn’t that. (And also why LLMs take up so much more energy than we do for thinking.)

Loads of fun activities at Nursery Row Park, Walworth on 4th September, to celebrate the new play equipment @walworthse17.bsky.social @walworthsociety.bsky.social @stpeterswalworth.bsky.social

The “correct” map The Mercator map creates distortions. Just like the Peters map and any map with any projection on a plane. This is the story of the correct map, the map that does not exist. www.cartographerstale.com/p/the-correc...

I want residents to be aware that I have received threats of death and violence directly posted in response to a misleading video recently shared by the MP for Keighley and Ilkley, Robbie Moore. See my full statement below:

Borough High Street / London Bridge is a great example of unfair allocation of roadspace. Look at all these pedestrians crammed onto tiny footways.

Pasley Park fair on 6th September, Walworth SE17

#bumblebee on borage, as furry as each other

Official "UK Prime Minister" Twitter account put out this dog-whistle tweet that was viewed by 5 million people. A few days later, police had to form a physical cordon around a Deliveroo rider who was being threatened by the mob protesting outside a hotel housing asylum seekers. Cause and effect?

Leaving Newhaven port and headed to Dieppe, 2 years ago exactly. It was also a very dry landscape then.

stumbled upon the Osterley Bookshop earlier today and 1) it's so charming oh my word 2) it's closing down in December, so get down there before then if you want to experience it for yourself, it's so nice

Lost London...

What the hell @theguardian.com?? Degraded, repulsive fascism.

Have been looking back at some of the pics I took at Bempton & Flamborough Head earlier this seabird season. Always a special experience watching #NorthernGannets diving into the sea at up to 60mph with their air sacs that cushion the impact. #gannet #seabird #seabirds #wildlifephotography

Here's why we will not be doing cross pavement charging in the City of Westminster 1️⃣ We would become responsible for the safety of EV cables without the ability to verify this safety, for one because we can't know how they're connected to a domestic supply. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... 1/4

Not for the first time I am begging angry people to put the phone down, walk through actual streets, go to actual pubs, stand on the touch line at local sports clubs, browse Saturday markets, chat with ramblers on footpaths and rediscover beauty & contentedness.

Starmer's and Rayner's #Labour party appears to be aiming to be Britain's new National Front. We've destroyed the racists once, and we'll destroy them again. Truly disgusting.

Spent a lot of time in #HouseofLords trying to strengthen this law. What happening in US far from reassuring news.sky.com/story/tesla-...

Suella Braverman was born in 1980. She knows little about The Troubles. It was a time of violence and carnage for those of us who lived through them. The issue seemed intractable. The Good Friday Agreement was the towering political achievement of our era. To consider trashing it is beyond wicked.

In Norfolk in 2023, seven people were killed whilst cycling. When I asked Graham Plant, the Cabinet Member for Highways, Infrastructure and Transport at Norfolk County Council, he said it was not possible to make it safe for cyclists because of the economy. Not all deaths are treated the same.
