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.

The 2nd Mayor of Newham When Rokhsana Fiaz became Mayor of Newham all the other direct elected Mayors of London Boroughs were white men. As was her predecessor, Sir Robin Wales, who had hung on as Mayor too long and had w…

On this day...

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.

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.

A bit different (2). Yesterday she graduated from high school and we will support her in nursing college from September. We still support one of her brothers and her exceptionally gifted sister. The picture of Isa's parents' shows the pride. See our charity website www.SohmSchoolsSupport.org.uk

A bit different (1). Yesterday was a special day for us. 13 years ago in a conversation with a security guard I met while on holiday in The Gambia, he told me his two sons were at nursery school, but his older daughter wasn't "because we can't afford it".

New post: Local historians, Peter Williams and Mark Gorman go on a detective hunt and track down the origins and function of a WW2 relic discovered on Wanstead Flats. There is an ironic twist to the tale! www.E7-NowandThen.org

In the long term, we’re all dead!

Does your friend have anything against the supporters of Lyon? Wondering what they have done to offend.

Harold Wilson did not and he was the only post WW2 PM who would not have done, in the circs.

She is just dreadful. No answers, not much thought before speech, too full of herself, too sneery and completely unlikeable. The fact that she is leader of the party says much about how disconnected the Tories are from the people they seek to govern.
