The Ambassador did nothing wrong. However, whoever leaked the advice did and should face a criminal investigation. Whatever is the case, alas the Ambassador’s position is now untenable.
From the evidence so far presented, Paula Vennells is either incredibly stupid & frankly unfit to even work on the checkout in Sainsbury’s, or a complete and utter liar who wilfully ruined the lives of thousands of sub-postmasters.
I know what I think. 🤔
I submitted a Members Enquiry asking for an itemised cost of the parklet that has been installed along Chase Side, Southgate. The total cost was £35k, funded entirely by TfL. I’ll leave it to you to determine whether this is a good use of the money.

Sorry, are they saying that they now interrogate potential customers on their stance on Israel, rather than ask, ‘sir/madam, what’s your plumbing problem, and how can I help?’? If so, then yeah they are operating illegally.

@ukhomeoffice
The mother is also listed as being born in Israel, but they failed to scrub that out. So whoever did this is also a poor proofreader as well as an antisemite.

‘HUMZA YOUSAF is the worst of politicians. An individual who deliberately stokes the fires of racial and religious tensions for self-serving purposes, with no regard to the greater societal damage he is doing.
The very definition of a scorched earth policy. Shameful.’

Well if you rely on the myopic views of the few rather than see the bigger picture then it’s hardly surprising. Roadworks are of course unpleasant in the short-term, but there are longer-term health & wellbeing community benefits and an improved street scene is good for business.

Station for redevelopment but provide them for staff. Funny that. Why can’t they too get on a 🚲 or a 🚌 like they expect the rest of us to do? 🤔

Will have PARTIALLY vaccinated all 1-9 vulnerable groups. The FULL vaccinations of groups 1-9 will not be completed until June when second doses are administered.
@PaulEmbery
Actually I don’t think we can because there is something seriously wrong with a jury system that has now deemed criminal damage acceptable on the basis of political sympathies. That is a dangerous precedent.

Given the detrimental impact on anyone sitting behind, the real question is why the hell do the seats recline at all? I blame the plane companies. Either provide ample space or prevent them reclining.

This will bankrupt the country. Whether you like it or not we are and will remain reliant on fossil fuels for years to come, we will simply be ever more dependent on other countries and so cost us far more. The alternative infrastructure is not in place and won’t be for decades.

But many pensioners who have savings just above the threshold but are living frugally will be hammered. Means testing means many miss out. This is THE Labour Party.

Don’t be ridiculous. It was an appalling speech. No remorse. No contrition. No sense of ownership for the chaos she created. A narcissist. Good riddance.
@Daniel_Sugarman
I have known this guy for over 25 years. But cut off links with him a few months back over his virulent antisemitic postings on his Facebook page.
@sarahwillers
Maybe you should be disgusted that inflation is running at 10%+, food and energy inflation far more, meaning people’s standards of living have tanked, rather than imply that workers should accept below inflation pay rates and worse conditions.
Great news: The Cockfosters Station car park development proposal, approved by Enfield’s Planning Committee last month on the Chair’s casting vote, has been thrown out by the Secretary of State for Transport Grant Shapps MP and will no longer proceed.
Panic and fear are as contagious as the virus and they'll kill even more people.
The outlook may be bleak, but the situation is not desperate.
We must return to a mentality in which we take the time to look after each other, rich & poor, old & young.

You mean the Jewish homeland that historians and archaeologists agree goes back 3,000 years - the northern Kingdom of Israel to ca. 900 BCE and the Kingdom of Judah to a. 850 BCE?
@YorkshireCCC
do you think it acceptable for this antisemite to be a trustee of your club?
The sheer nastiness within Enfield Labour Group just knows no bounds, removing a well respected and dedicated councillor in this way. Just appalling. Please vote them out on May 5th.

Understand that this is currently the legal position, but frankly this is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. They are increasing in popularity and are an efficient and carbon neutral means to get around. We need the law to be amended.

The Enfield Council EGM of a vote of no confidence tonight starts with another resignation from the Labour Group - Cllr Ayfer Orhan! Labour now down to 38 councillors.
@wesstreeting
@SadiqKhan
Yeah right Wes. 🙄 Look at the shameless way he has facilitated antisemitic hate marches on our streets week in and week out. He is no friend of the Jewish community, and neither is your party.
Enfield Council spends over 300% above stated costs installing the Bowes and Fox Lane Low Traffic Neighbourhood schemes.
This is yet another damning indictment of this Labour Administration and yet again demonstrates a complete lack of political and operational oversight.
Shocking that as of today there has been no condemnation of Ian Barnes’ conduct by
@Keir_Starmer
@UKLabour
@Bambos_MP
nor even by the likes of
@EnfieldCycling
. It appears to confirm my point that if you are part of their tribe you are beyond reproach. What a damning indictment.

Nowhere near. Accepted estimates of the Spanish Flu pandemic are approximately 50m deaths, but that was on a then worldwide population of 1.6bn. Based on today’s population of 7bn we would be talking about 200m deaths.

And you have perfectly demonstrated why we are nowhere near capable of a mass shift towards electric cars. 400,000 electric cars that take at least 30 minutes to charge compared to 32 million petrol/diesel vehicles that can be filled in 5 mins.

They are an irritating couple and could do well to learn from his older brother and sister-in-law who seem to understand and appreciate their roles and responsibilities. Harry and Meghan seem to want to have their cake and eat it with media attention. It doesn’t wash.
@WhichUK
And what about Tesco and other supermarkets deliberately overpricing products and forcing you to have a loyalty card for the ‘discount’ which is only reducing the price of items back to the level it should be? That is an even bigger crime.
@BBCTomEdwards
I’m not at all surprised. Councils across London seem intent on introducing such measures without any consultation whatsoever. Not a good look.
Here’s the speech that the Mayor wouldn’t let proceed at the Full Council ‘no confidence’ motion last Thursday by my colleague Cllr Dino Lemonides. Can’t think why, can you?
@bbclaurak
Completely and utterly impractical. People need the money and now. The economy is tanking and unemployment snowballing. They need to pay everyone a universal basic income directly into everyone’s accounts otherwise we face chaos in days.
@EnfieldDispatch
@JollyJourno
Reading Barnes’ rant again it has a much more sinister threatening undertone because he implies that he is not acting alone and instead on behalf of
@UKLabour
when he says “WE [not I] will spend the next four years etc” so it is imperative that they make clear their position.
At the official opening this morning of the Broomfield Park wetlands in my ward of Southgate Green. This fantastic project was made possible through the help & support of the Coca Cola Foundation, The Rivers Trust, Thames21, Friends of the Park, & the Council’s watercourses team.

@AllisonPearson
Yep. Endemic I’m afraid within bureaucratic institutions. Their goal is simply to protect the organisation at all costs. Wrong and right doesn’t enter into it.
And to add insult to injury, in an email response to a resident today regarding the LTNs Cllr Barnes called the Winchmore Hill Residents Association ‘a thinly disguised right-wing organisation posing as an RA’ and that he intends to ‘write more about that in the coming weeks’. 😱
Three protests in the space of a week, against three different Enfield Council-backed schemes. Labour won a big majority at the 2018 local election, but 2022 is now looking far closer than they anticipated.

@SamCoatesSky
The reason for their answer is more about their inability to supply the NHS and care homes and the accuse embarrassment associated rather than the science. It’s clearly a political decision.
@WilliamClouston
So the alternative is poverty for the elderly who already have amongst the worst state pensions in Europe? Indeed, older pensioners suffer worst of all with the two tier pension set-up. What’s your answer?
The Council Leader wastes police time with a deeply unpleasant attack on a fellow councillor unjustifiably seeking to smear his name. Just when will you take action over the mess that is Enfield Labour Group

BREAKING: Commissioner of the Met Police Sir Mark Rowley has been seen leaving the Cabinet Office in Westminster.
As he left, he was asked a question about two-tier policing, but Sir Mark grabbed the journalist's microphone and dropped it to the ground.
@southlondonscum
@PaulEmbery
They toppled a statute for which there is incontrovertible proof. The charade of a jury system has now demonstrated that truth pays second fiddle to political interpretation of motives. That is a perversion of justice and sets a dangerous precedent.
@lukeakehurst
Sorry I’m not getting this smear attack on someone who is by all accounts a good mayor who’s never expressed antisemitic statements, accepts the IHRA definition and taken JLM training. If it’s guilt by association then Starmer had better go for hanging around Corbyn.

@VoiceOfN9
He is a fantasist. He wasn’t even elected when the manifesto was written. I was and as the then cabinet member for the environment can categorically state that LTNs were NOT in any way referenced, let alone a commitment.
@DrRosena
What he has proposed is utterly unworkable and will instead see millions without money in days. 1.5m have always registered for universal credit. He needs to pay a universal basic income into everyone’s accounts to avert a crisis becoming a disaster in days.
@RubiRubenstein
Er…you do realise that most vacancies are actually filled by those already employed? It’s like employment musical chairs. Employers often bypass unemployed candidates.
@VoiceOfN9
Labour lost Chase, retained Southbury and Jubilee, but saw a 13.6% swing against them across all three wards indicating they face losing swathes of seats in 2022 and yet he thinks this a ringing endorsement. Just delusional.
@EmmaLYDS
Exactly as we had thought. Truly appalling by an increasingly arrogant and detached Administration that is prepared to put lives at risk on a ideological whim.
@Mendelpol
A blue octopus has well established antisemitic connotations dating a back to the Nazis, and in recent years adopted by virulent antisemites in the Arab/Muslim world. That together with the garb of the contestant is too coincidental to not be intentional.
