At the Woolwich foot tunnel today where we saw a dad struggle down over 100 steps with his three year old child. We’d like to know why it’s so filthy with pigeon droppings. Where is the respect for the health and safety of people? #WoolwichFootTunnel #GreenwichCouncil #Woolwich #FixTheLifts

Any thoughts on (albeit anecdotal) findings of voters on the doorstep who are undecided between Green and Reform?

Facing Eviction: A Tenant's Battle Against Damp and Disrepair Facing homelessness and health risks, one tenant exposes systemic failures in housing safety and tenant rights. Discover her urgent story.

Rachel is speaking out because she has evidence to show how revenge evictions by housing associations happen, step by step, and because many tenants do not survive the process long enough to document it.

Turns out Reform aren't the shoo-in Question Time and The Mail like to pretend they are. Voters can think for themselves and they just did.
And Labour? Now you know what happens when you pander to
'Trump lite'. The people say no.
Complacency is not a strategy.
Politics just got interesting.

With all my heart I want to have Hannah with me in Parliament next week. She is not only the best candidate to beat Reform but just simply the best new MP you could wish for.

If you are voting today, choose Hannah, and tell everyone you meet to do the same! πŸ’šπŸ’šπŸ’šπŸ™

Rules preventing this sort of outrage can’t come in quickly enough. In the meantime, these residents are so lucky to have had you highlight their plight. Well done!

My gay youth group used to meet at West Central on Lisle Street, London. Now it’s a Ku Bar. At least it’s still queerish.

Some cases, maybe, but with a lot of our 1970s stock, in order to install the required ties to do this safely, you certainly can't do it while people are in situ, and there is a good chance of compromising the structure while doing so.

And pre-1970 buildings were not built to modern structural standards, so they cannot be safely extended. Look at the unfolding disaster that is the Eric Estate vertical extension project in Mile End. Another project supported by Mayor Khan.

This is exactly why we need to get rid of landlords. Hundreds of lives ruined at the whim of a billionaire.

My watch plays music and doesn't have a cell connection (technically it can). I really enjoyed being uncontactable for my run and coffee last weekend.

Zack Polanski on how Keir Starmer could have changed the April 2025 UK Supreme Court ruling to protect trans rights (EXCLUSIVE) Zack Polanski revealed how Keir Starmer could have acted to protect trans rights after April 2025 UK Supreme Court ruling.

It’s the Government’s duty to protect all communities - including trans people.

They’re failing to do that.

Trans people deserve safety and dignity.
