Infographic titled ‘Cleaner, Greener, Faster: Real Progress in Reducing GLA Group Emissions’. A line graph shows historic emissions in black and projected emissions under the current budget in green. The vertical axis is labelled ‘Tonnes CO2e’ ranging from 0 to 2,000,000. The horizontal axis shows years from 2015–16 to 2029–30. Historic emissions decline from around 1,600,000 tonnes in 2015–16 to just under 1,000,000 tonnes by 2022–23. Projected emissions continue downward, reaching about 400,000 tonnes by 2029–30. A black label reads ‘Emissions cut by 52% from 2015 to 2026’. A green label reads ‘On track for an 86% cut by 2030 with current funding’. Source: GLA Group Climate Budget 2026–27.

We have cut the emissions from the services we run by half since 2015.

Our climate budget puts an 86% cut by 2030 within reach.

Real action. Real results. 🌱

Get down to see Hackney Central Library - it’s transformed. I left today’s grand opening with a tear in the eye, feeling full of what a wonderful, rich, cultural and political place Hackney is to live. From Jazz Grant’s mural in collab with V&A Storehouse, to Knit n Knatter crew’s knitted boobies…

It’s not true that vaccines only reduce severity. Vaccines significantly reduce transmission, as well as the risk of long COVID.

Ten years as the world’s #1 city.

The haters online can’t fathom the reality: London is a global powerhouse that only gets better. Don’t believe the noise, believe the results.

Fears of polio resurgence as US vaccine adviser questions need for childhood shots Survivors say US healthcare system not ready for new cases – ‘the only thing to fix polio is the polio vaccine’

Every time I write about measles, experts warn that polio is next.

But it's been so long since we had polio outbreaks, there are very few doctors who even know how to treat its long-term health issues. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Fantastic news that this really comprehensive scheme has been formally signed off. It will transform a big part of Dalston. Credit to @sarahwoodberrydown.bsky.social - it isn’t an easy climate in Hackney right now but this is absolutely the right decision. 👏

Cllr David Wimble, Reform Cabinet member for economic development at Kent County Council, says he might defund Margate's Turner Contemporary Gallery to spite the local MP Polly Billington.

Great British Energy sets out Local Power Plan GBE has published the Local Power Plan with funding of up to £1 billion for locally-owned clean energy generation projects.

I welcome Great British Energy’s Local Power Plan and its support for community and local energy generation in London. This will help places of worship, social clubs, and community centres produce clean power for the people they serve.

On Kenworthy Rd today with residents. Too many terrible accidents here. It’s obvious that we need safe crossings.

@hackneycouncil.bsky.social cllrs, @londonassembly.bsky.social Members & @londoncycling.bsky.social all told TfL. @willnorman.co.uk updated us & we can’t wait to see it happen.

Been a busy day in De Beauvoir for @joewalkeruk.bsky.social & I! Started the day at the monthly community cafe at St Peter's Church. Then headed off to speak to residents hearing about what's working and ideas for improvement. #JasAndJoe4DB your hardworking Labour Cllrs, working with residents 🌹

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

The warm homes plan can help persuade a sceptical public that green energy is for them and the future of their families.

Visiting @hackneycouncil.bsky.social solar panels on our council estates, giving residents cheaper electricity from the sun. Looking forward to seeing how @edmilibandmp.bsky.social’s Warm Homes Plan can help us to do more for Hackney residents.

I'm honestly less mad at the President, who is clearly not well, that I am at his outriders and enablers.

They see messages like this and then, with straight faces, go on television or write op-eds retroactively constructing grand strategy justifications.

Pathetic.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

London is officially the most powerful city in the world right now And it’s not just because of the cast of Industry.

The evidence is clear: London is making real progress against violent crime.

Trump Says London Is Unsafe. Its Murder Rate Just Hit a Historic Low.

www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/w...

People have been trying to talk London down, but the evidence tells a different story.

Last year saw:

The lowest murder rate per capita since records began

The fewest murders of those aged under 25 this century

One of the lowest numbers of homicides for almost three decades

Sorry, Trump and Farage – London is no lawless ‘warzone’. Violent crime is lower than ever | Sadiq Khan Reform’s new candidate for mayor claims people pity Londoners for living in an unsafe capital. But the evidence is clear: we’re making our streets safer, says mayor of London Sadiq Khan

Last year, we reached the lowest per capita homicide rate in recorded history - not by chance, but as a result of our tough action on violent crime and our preventative approach.

We’re on the right path. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
