Genuine question: donβt TFL manage Cutty Sark station, which went eons without working escalators and is now closed for an eye watering amount of time while theyβre fixed? If they do, will they actually do any better with the foot tunnel?

Teenage girls detained for killing man in Islington street attack
Three girls are detained for the manslaughter of Fredi Rivero, who was set upon in an Islington street.
The violence of this attack and the shortness of these sentences make me feel physically sick. These are not βjustβ children. They are cold blooded killers and their sentences do not remotely reflect that!

I wrote to my Labour councillors (I voted for both) 2 weeks ago. Neither has bothered to reply. Labour is trying to screw itself at all levels. I simply cannot vote Labour locally in future when Greenwich Council is so bad. The only saving grace nationally is an MP whoβs listened & helped for years!

Not βentirely straightforwardβ is a serious understatement! Itβs a joke.

The so-called βconsultationβ is a joke. Itβs very difficult to understand and impossible to use the response mechanisms. It seems deliberately designed to stop us responding! I have written to my councillors to complain!

Greenwich Council implements ice cream van ban on street
Two ice cream sellers say they hope for success when they continue their fight in the High Court.
Between trying to remove outdoor tables at the Trafalgar Tavern and implementing an ice cream van ban, I do wonder if @royalgreenwich.bsky.social has decided its main function is to suck joy out of the borough! Itβs certainly already made travel a joyless experience!

Do you think the BBC picture desk has a game going on of who can use the photo in which Trump looks most like an Oompa Loompa? #smallpleasures

I suspect they donβt want to have to re-block everyone theyβd decided to ignore on Twitter because they donβt want to see criticism!

Thank you very much, Matt. I do hope that the House of Lords donβt get in the way of enabling the terminally ill to die with dignity.

My nearest donation centre doesnβt have an appointment until September! I want to give, but Iβm afraid they actually need to go back to a system that works! I used to see a mobile unit and just walk in!

We're in London today with a big old bus to tell our Govt this country cannot afford cuts. Instead they should tax us, the super rich. A 2% wealth tax alone could raise up to Β£460mln a week. @Keir_starmer - invest in a fairer economy. Patriotic Millionaires say Tax Our Wealth

Even in London (Greenwich), Venus, Jupiter and Mars were clearly visible tonight. Amazingly clear night for it! No photo because, letβs be honest, it would be rubbish!!

Did anyone at Greenwich Council actually check this to realise they ask some questions twice and that the confirmation of email address messages donβt actually send? What a waste of time it was filling that in. Without that email (yes, checked junk and asked it to re-send) it wonβt be submitted.
