@londonassembly.bsky.social When will Keith Prince stand down? Havering & Redbridge voted for a Conservative AM. He isn't that. Reform got one AM from their PR list. Also not Keith.
With this defection, the Assembly no longer reflects parties' London-wide vote share. Time for a by-election.

Misogyny for retired doddery old codgers who firmly believe in nostalgic nationalism, bigotry and the belief that women shouldn’t be allowed out of the kitchen.

As the Mayor to a city of more than one million Catholics, I want to express my sadness, and the sadness of all Londoners, at the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. He was a man of courage and humility who demonstrated how cooperation between faiths was a force for good.

Good thread on the legit frustration people have with local authorities trimming services while increasing council tax
Agree people don’t know what councils do etc. But I also think the public is reasonable enough to question why the local area looks dirty/declining etc while council tax bills have gone up and up and up and up and up. Politically it’s therefore currently ripe for undeliverable promises

I was a child on a demo in Hyde Park. There was a flat bed truck loaded with Vox and Marshal amps.
Three skinny guys stepped up. Played the best live music I'd ever heard.
Goodbye Rick Buckler.

If I avoid spending money on sandwiches by taking packed lunches to work, does it still count as a saving if I use it to buy a book instead?

If this isn’t Islamophobia, what is?
We heard loud and clear at our latest inquiry on gendered Islamophobia, the need for a definition.
I note that at the end of the article, it says no arrests have been made.

Today I was privileged to see part of the electoral process in the world's largest democracy; voting in Maharashtra's state election. Thanks to the Maharashtra State Police and local election officials for letting me see some of the procedure (without entering the actual polling place, obviously).
