This is now corruption and bribery on a scale with 1980s Nigeria and 1990s Russia. Worse given it is happening by the president in plain sight.

Jess Phillips is one of the most real, decent, down to earth and hard working MPs going. Has been on this issue for decades.

There’s a long track record in the commons of women MPs working cross party on VAWG *for a reason*, which is firstly that this doesn’t have to be a partisan issue & secondly that ‘cultures that don’t respect women’ has at times felt like a fair description of parliament.

If you needed a better example of the way politicians use and discard young teenage girls, this is it. The stats are there if you’d care to view them, Kemi

Given they as a newspaper opposed every expansion of education over the last century or more, I can't imagine they care.

People who have not been don't quite realise how green london is: one of the highest proportions of open and green spaces of any capital city in the world. And more parks than Paris, Rome, Prague, Dublin and New York put together together.

Main aim has to be to stop Reform sneaking through maybe 5 or 6 candidates in each borough running on left of centre to socialist tickets, getting in, and ruining a decade of good progress. Worryingly good chance of that happening. Its a lot cheaper to rip up a cycle lane than to build one.

A narrow negative for using a masked paramilitary force to illegally bundle brown people into unmarked trucks is a sorry indictment of a lot of people in America.

He won't, as the Tories are heading down into the far right gutter.

Ha! Its like Reform over here with anything mad or racist (normally racist) coming out of one of their candidates. Mass memory loss and or sudden inability to read the news.

Similar story to Paris getting rid of the roads down the Seine
