On this day in 1987, thirty-one people lost their lives in the fire at King’s Cross St Pancras Underground station. To read the report of that disaster is harrowing. I still nod my head to this memorial as I pass. Remember and learn.

London proves progressive cities work. No wonder some politicians hate that, writes Sadiq Khan | LBC We must stand up and defend our liberal, progressive, caring capital

London is a place that truly values diversity, inclusion, equality and opportunity – and is a shining success because of it.

I can only imagine that some political commentators don’t like our city because it’s an engine of social progress.

Please be aware that Nazis will be marching in central London today, with a rally in Westminster/Whitehall. There will be a counter-demonstration too. I can’t believe I have to write this in 2025, but please take care and avoid the area unless you are on a stewarded anti-fascist demonstration.

News of racist and sexist abuse from Barnard Park, Islington’s least welcoming green space. It was the only space in Islington afaik to have George Crosses lining the road last week. Coincidence, anyone?
Islington Council and MPS Islington have stepped up patrols.

Highbury and Islington station seems to have opened, and Mildmay and Windrush trains are running. No service on the Victoria line nor the Northern City (Moorgate) line.

Highbury & Islington closed until around 7:30am. Mildmay and Windrush trains are running but not stopping ar H&I. Northern City line trains to/from Moorgate are not running until at least 8:15, and not clear whether the deep level platforms at H&I will be open.

In some versions of TfL’s info systems, H&I might open at 7:30am, for Mildmay and Windrush trains. Not clear whether Moorgate line platforms will be open.

The woman is believed to have left in this car after the incident. I understand that this has been reported to the police.

Story of a phone snatch on the Fields yesterday, a white brown-haired woman in a green jacket, pinching a phone then driving off in a silver/grey car. Get in touch if this rings any bells.

Is London set to put the brakes on SUVs? The number of SUVs in London has increased tenfold in 20 years, prompting calls to curb their use.

Time to get a grip on the huge number of anti-social SUVs. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

City Hall earmarks Β£875k to tackle hate crime and extremism The Mayor of London has ringfenced the sum for more than 20 grassroots organisations.

We’re living in increasingly divisive and uncertain times, and I know the worry and concern that this is having in our communities.

That’s why I’m committed to working in close partnership with communities and the police to ensure everyone in the capital feels, and is, safe and welcome.
