London Liberal Democrats are opposing the increase, describing the news as “a hammer blow to already hard-pressed Londoners” and the EV charges a “total betrayal of those who did the right thing and invested in going green".

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

"Today is a momentous day" says Housing Minister @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social, rightly proud of the Renters' Rights Bill as it passes its final hurdle without needing a vote.
Waiting for the King's signature in next week or so, when date will be set for ban of Section 21 'no fault' evictions!

Picked up some Lib Dem stats at conference. Some of these surprised me (especially given media coverage):
1. The Liberal Democrats now control more councils than the Conservative Party
2. In May's local elections in England, the LDs elected more councillors than either Labour or the Tories.

I left Twitter because I do not intend to legitimise an Apartheid-nostalgic, Sieg-Heiling, drug-fuelled narcissist by lending my weight to his right wing propaganda platform, knowing that he minimises my reach anyway.
