Keith's constituency, Havering & Redbridge, voted for a Conservative AM. He isn't that.
His new party, Reform, got one AM from their PR list. Also not Keith.
With this defection, the Assembly no longer reflects parties' London-wide vote share. Time for a by-election.

@londonassembly.bsky.social When will Keith Prince stand down? Havering & Redbridge voted for a Conservative AM. He isn't that. Reform got one AM from their PR list. Also not Keith.
With this defection, the Assembly no longer reflects parties' London-wide vote share. Time for a by-election.

Amazing victory for the #Lionesses; doing it the hard way. Inspiring! Football's coming home. Again.
(Note to men's team: penalty practice matters)

Misogyny for retired doddery old codgers who firmly believe in nostalgic nationalism, bigotry and the belief that women shouldn’t be allowed out of the kitchen.

As the Mayor to a city of more than one million Catholics, I want to express my sadness, and the sadness of all Londoners, at the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. He was a man of courage and humility who demonstrated how cooperation between faiths was a force for good.

Good thread on the legit frustration people have with local authorities trimming services while increasing council tax

He already owns the lawyers and the voters don't get to school him until 2026

Felipe VI defiende la “legítima defensa” de Ucrania en la inauguración del Mobile en Barcelona Salvador Illa asiste a su primer congreso como presidente de la Generalitat y participa en la bienvenida al monarca que dejaron de realizar Quim Torra y Pere Aragonès

En su discurso, el rey ha vuelto a condenar la invasión rusa de Ucrania: “Las razones para la firme condena y rechazo de tal agresión contraria a la legalidad internacional y la Carta de Naciones Unidas siguen muy vigentes en nuestro país”

Millions in public money has been wasted on these legal challenges and achieved nothing. 3rd runway was approved by parliament and the courts years ago. The only reason it went into deep freeze in 2020 was the pandemic - nothing to do with the expensive lawyers

I was a child on a demo in Hyde Park. There was a flat bed truck loaded with Vox and Marshal amps.
Three skinny guys stepped up. Played the best live music I'd ever heard.
Goodbye Rick Buckler.

If I avoid spending money on sandwiches by taking packed lunches to work, does it still count as a saving if I use it to buy a book instead?

Pie in the sky (walker)

Just heard a woodpecker from the Tube platform
Good start to Tuesday

Fantastic to see the new Woodford Police Hub opened in my ward Churchfields today. We promised this when we stood for election to Redbridge council and now it's been delivered! @kamrai.bsky.social @khayerc.bsky.social @SadiqKhanLondon.BlueSky.social @jasathwal.bsky.social

School and mosques vandalised with anti-Muslim graffiti in London "Several incidents of criminal damage" are being investigated by the Metropolitan Police which is treating them as "shocking" hate crimes.

If this isn’t Islamophobia, what is?

We heard loud and clear at our latest inquiry on gendered Islamophobia, the need for a definition.

I note that at the end of the article, it says no arrests have been made.

Tackling an issue, starts with clearly defining it.

Shoah Revisionism After Gaza Beinner Family Research Papers: Dave Rich.

With Holocaust Memorial Day approaching I've written about Pankaj Mishra's London Review of Books essay 'The Shoah After Gaza'. It was a deeply disturbing work linking traditional anti-Jewish narratives & contemporary intellectual anti-Zionism: this is my response. isca.indiana.edu/publication-...

Campaigns The community campaign for Heathrow

Public letter signed by business and unions in today's Sunday Times calls for a new runway at #Heathrow. Is this the private sector investment in infrastructure the government needs to kickstart growth? @labourgrowth.bsky.social @gmb.org.uk @communityunion.bsky.social

UK's Sustainable Aviation Fuel Mandate Enters Into Force Discover how the UK SAF mandate is set to cut aviation emissions significantly by 2040, boosting the economy with £1.8bn and creating 10,000 jobs.

The SAF mandate is finally in force.
Not a permanent solution to aviation emissions but a step in the right direction - and much better to make our own rather than import from afar

Me too. Should have read the first question more carefully!

A remarkable stat: Heidi Alexander’s appointment as Transport Secretary means the cabinet is now 100% state-educated for the first time in history.

There's a group of Punjabi wedding drummers staying in my hotel and they do like to practice. Maybe I'll invite them to support us at Woodford Town FC games

Today I was privileged to see part of the electoral process in the world's largest democracy; voting in Maharashtra's state election. Thanks to the Maharashtra State Police and local election officials for letting me see some of the procedure (without entering the actual polling place, obviously).

Craven madness is kinda her thing

I'm not sure I'm going to be on time to Labour Group this evening
