No, it's not. It's all a lie. The blunt truth is across the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them.

London's Network of Cycleways is continuing to grow and get even better. 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲

Great to see the temporary cycle lanes on Haverstock Hill being made permanent by Camden Council - this includes new kerbs to protect cyclists, raised zebras and new bus stop bypasses.

This sounds so familiar. I don't think we had any equipment, but I just remember vast expanses of concrete. Good for playing marbles though.

BBC News leading with completely groundless claims by Farage. Absolutely ridiculous. What happened to journalistic analysis?

I remember being told that it would take 193 years to reach legal limits for nitrogen dioxide.

I decided this was unacceptable.

Thanks to the bold policies we put in place, we've managed to do it in nine years - 184 years earlier than expected.

The government delegating some highly technical tasks to independent experts doesn't create a democratic deficit, but it does avoid wishful thinking.

Good to meet the Indian high commissioner Vikram Doraiswami. We discussed the recent awful defacement of the statue of Gandhi in Tavistock Square and our shared efforts to look after and restore it.

It was great to see around inside the Black Cap, whose renovation is now under way! Among the many things that have got us to this point are the determination of the council and use of planning policy to protect this as a cabaret and LGBT venue πŸ’ͺπŸ»πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ

The turmoil and stirring of hatred of the last decade has genuinely been elite-led (in multiple domains) and this isn't recognised nearly enough.

It’s terrible when people try and impose a particular lifestyle on you and undermine society. But enough about Danny Kruger’s opposition to abortion, same sex marriage and human rights.

Don’t let these jokers get away with it. Swipe left for the corrected version.

Today Sky News was flashing up that "Nigel Farage is on course to be prime minister". We are NOT in the middle of a general election campaign. This was presented as a "top story". Absolutely ridiculous and another example of the media going bananas.

Here’s a portrait of the T049A family, minus the two older sons who now spend most of their time travelling on their own. That’s mom Nan (T049A) in the lead.

I'd also lay odds that the category of "sex education" includes LGBT support sites. So you're also cutting off some of the most vulnerable kids from vital support.

How the simmering freedom of speech row reached boiling point How did we reach a point where the UK is being compared to a 'tin pot Third World dictatorship'?

Truly facile, awful analysis by Nick Robinson normalising hate speech by 'ordinary people' and equating it with free speech. The boiling point is too many of Britain's commentators unthinkingly wading in the toxic swamp of X and believing it is what passes as normal.

A large, lively crowd fills Oxford Street, with people eating, socialising, and walking. Bright pink signs and banners read β€œTHIS IS OXFORD STREET – MAYOR OF LONDON”.

This is Oxford Street, completely transformed & traffic-free. It was fantastic to see community spirit in the heart of the West End. By removing traffic, this created the space to stride, stroll and explore.

This street is for everyone to enjoy with music, art, food and fun.

Accusing us of being socialists is now passΓ©. They’ve graduated to calling us communists. That’s what we’re back to.

And apparently refusing to dehumanize trans kids is now communism.

Miller is deranged but the kind of deranged that’s running the country.
