As Manchester turns into London, horrifically online YIMBYs rejoice because ‘look at the big shiny towers’
Unliveable, overpriced investment property is not housing. Tearing up places that employ people to build income streams for the very rich is not progress.

How am I supposed to go back to school in September and tell my classes to be kind, compassionate, understanding, and polite to one and other when this is the example being set by the education secretary?

I started at The Bartlett only months after the fire. 3 years of architecture school and nobody mentioned Grenfell ONCE.
The industry has washed its hands of the 72 lives we lost. 5 years on and the construction industry still takes no responsibility and shows no remorse…
Constantly astounds me that 72 people dying in the biggest fire since WWII has not fundamentally altered the industry.

This is Linden Gardens in Pembridge. Every time I ring Peabody it’s flagged as an emergency, then when you call back a week later you find out nobody fixed it and it’s been forgotten about…
5 years on, same old BS 💚
🚨 North Kensington - in the sight of the Grenfell Tower, tenants have complained of their fire safety alarms being broken for over a year. Yet after many complaints Peabody still haven’t fixed it I’ve been told.
Nearly 5 years on this is still happening 🤦🏽♂️

This is frustrating…
3months campaigning from Labour, even less from the Tories.
@EmmaMidBeds
has been running surgeries and filling the gap left by Nadine for almost a year, but Lab and Con feel entitled to your vote and FPTP rewards them for it.
Whatever happens next, I will always be grateful to the people who took their time in the last three months to talk to me about the issues that affect their lives.
Mid Bedfordshire is our home. If I am lucky enough to be your MP, I will not let you down.

RBKC has finally admitted it’s culpable for deaths at Grenfell (if only 9). This is so long overdue, and must be followed by resignations and prosecutions
We in North Ken are here to make sure that happens 💚

RBKC is the final boss in this game where cyclists have to not get hit by cars in London! That’s how notoriously appalling our council’s treatment of bicycle users has been.
I've made a little video game.
About Santa delivering his presents by bike in London.
Easier in some boroughs than others...
Move the bike, avoid the cars, collect everything else. Sound on 😁
Enjoy! And Happy Christmas!

The single Tory seat here is Beconsfield, where in 2019 LDs stood aside for Dominic Grieve and Labour were squeezed to their lowest ever. Almost certain that the Tories would lose that too on this metric…

Since this construction, central Manchester has seen an absurdly exponential increase in property prices. The cost of this is greater than a car park - it’s the people and businesses pushed out as M gentrifies (more rapidly than any other UK city in memory, I’d hazard)

Give us a thumbs up if we’ve gutted your estate of all its mature trees as part of a redevelopment which will price you out of the housing market forever and irreversibly damage the quality of the air you breathe!!
Are you a Catalyst customer, aged between 7-25 years and passionate about the environment? Why not join the Green Youth Board? Applications close on Fri 7 Jan to give you that quiet time between Christmas and New Year to complete your application

This was my view from Dollis Hill today. Trellick is visible for miles around, marking out North Kensington on the London skyline.
It is iconic, beautiful, and to surround it with new development would be a great loss to all Londoners, not just those in our community.

I’ve written to TfL to support the Holland Park Roundabout cycle lane and you should too.
Cyclists are killed in this area, this scheme protects them.
You know what nobody’s ever died of? The loss of less than 100 yards of a third vehicle lane on HPA.

Very sage advice for the many people in RBKC who’s service charge has just been hiked up, but are still getting next to no actual service (maintenance/cleaning)…
After a discussion last night, for leaseholders disputing service charges: A list of things NOT to do. (Do circulate.)
First - the big one - Do not withhold service charge payments. This instantly exposes you to the risk of a money claim against you in the County Court.

Guys why can’t you get this thing I made up into your heads
People aren't against 15 min cities because they don't want shops and schools near - of course people want that - but that isn't the problem
People are against 15 min cities because they don't want to be fined for leaving their area.
Get it into your heads.

London arrogance?
Fail to understand the notion that by living in the capital you lose the right not to have 60ft corporate insignia seared into your retina every night…
Absolutely stinks of London arrogance.
Huge opportunity to be at the very centre of the future of entertainment, attracting massive investment and visitors from around the world. Offer it to literally any other part of the UK and they'd snap your hand off.
