It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

Very refreshing!

Sure, Conservatives are right to ask why Starmer tolerated a paedophile’s friend as US ambassador but why are they not concerned about the PM hosting another pal of Epstein, one who has repeatedly lied about their relationship? And why are BBC interviewers not asking them about this?

Will your former BBC colleagues, Mason and Kuenssberg have the bottle to ask him whether he still believes the “Epstein Files” still don’t exist, and if they don’t exist, why did his mate Mandelsohn resign? Thought not.

Steve Parish to step back from certain responsibilities at Crystal Palace Sharon Lacey is set to rejoin Crystal Palace as Chief Executive Officer after leaving her role as Chief Operating Officer only six months ago.

35% lower gases in Newham that kill our elders and children. Thank you @london.gov.uk

New Post: Some E7 late Victorian letterheads. Frequent contributor, Peter Williams, records a rich finding of well-illustrated letterheads from near-by businesses supplying the local Burial Board and cemeteries in late Victorian Forest Gate, courtesy of Newham's Archives.

I like Hughes A LOT. But when he is your best player, you’ve had a poor game.

Graphic with the headline “London is the greatest city in the world” set against a bright view of the River Thames with the Shard, Tower Bridge and the city skyline. The text celebrates what makes London special: regularly voted the number one city in the world, incredible diversity with over 300 languages spoken, world-class transport, world leader in finance tech and life sciences, best museums and galleries many free to visit, world-leading nightlife, food sport and music for every taste, host to the world’s best sporting events, home to seven Premier League clubs, globally-ranked universities, a city where you can be yourself and love who you love, and a place for everyone.

Ignore the haters. London is the 🐐

How much have her NDAs, compensation to sacked CEOs and legal cases AGAINST her own council cost hard pressed citizens of one of London’s poorest boroughs?

Another external imposition on the people of Newham, like yourself as local MP. Shocking lack of democracy in a borough that proudly elected Labour Party founder, Kier Hardie as local MP.

July 24 2020 - Clapton CFC bought the freehold to the Old Spotted Dog Ground, which had been disused since April 2019.

It took until September 2022 to host our first competitive game at the @oldspotteddog.bsky.social

Palace was the first club that Textor invested in. Parish resisted all his attempts to allow Palace to be part of an MCO.

Shame you resort to circular firing squad tactics, when the culprits are on the outside.

He could not force Textor, the villain of the piece to do anything.

New post: Review of On Romford Road, Andrew Sanger's fifth novel and a family saga about two east end families, whose feud carries from the 1900s til the 1990s. A page turner, with many Forest Gate references.
