Another year around the sun! What a 56th year it’s been! Still fighting to keep trim and fit though 💪🏻😂 - thanks to those who sent messages ❤️

It was terrible Mr Vice President what happened. And lessons will be learned. But here’s a thought - maybe concentrate instead on why 44000 Americans died last year from gun related deaths, and what can be done about your dreadful disease before you start lecturing others

[James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp]

This is painful - to see a former colleague I respected reduced to spouting Reform’s Lord Haw Haw lines for pulling down the Ukrainian flag. Nadhim, you’re better than this. In your heart of hearts do you really feel good about defending this?

[Christopher Leader @CJLeader68]

Congratulations 🥳🥂🎉

Couldn't be happier to see my eldest son @jackdbarwell elected as a councillor (Conservative, naturally) for Selsdon Vale & Forestdale #Croydon today having run an outstanding campaign in a ward that demographically should have been a good prospect for Reform #veryproudDad

@Lambethgp As they say “god help us all”

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

Labour lose 28 seats in Lambeth. Again massive Green gains in inner London. First time Labour has lost control since 2006.

[Christopher Leader @CJLeader68]

@cathedralsdavid @Juvelad Well done David!

[Christopher Leader @CJLeader68]

Whilst I’m pleased @LambethLabour have lost control (everyone was fed up with their entitled complacency) , I didn’t expect it to get worse and have more greens. Less than 40% turnout too - shameful - no more poor leadership of @clairekholland but goodness knows what next!

Vote vote vote vote vote. I don’t care who for, but if there are elections in your area please vote. People died so we could all vote. Polls open 0700-2200 and in England take photo ID even out of date one as long as it looks like you or you’ll be turned away. But vote. Please.

[Christopher Leader @CJLeader68]

2/2 So today’s local council elections are vital to anyone living in Lambeth - it’s time this complacent & entitled council were ousted & I voted @Lambeth_Tories @Conservatives #govote #vote

[Christopher Leader @CJLeader68]

1/2 Been in Clapham 7yrs & it’s been run by @LambethLabour. Every yr my council tax has risen ridiculously, my parking fees quadrupled, bin collections reduced, filthy streets, wasteful spending & a council leader @clairekholland given a state award for all these failings & more

[Christopher Leader @CJLeader68]

@_____eddie_____ @dave_lufccabbie It can be dangerous if the cycle lane is blocked (it happens) or if there’s too many cyclists trying to use it at same time and they then skew into the two narrow lanes to pass others! I’ve seen both situations frequently.

[Christopher Leader @CJLeader68]

The most horrendous bike/huge lorry accident at Oval/Kennington Park cross road. There’s a dedicated separate cycle lane here so why has this happened? My bike footage is too graphic & horrid to share. I don’t think the guy will make it despite air ambulance. Very upsetting.

[Christopher Leader @CJLeader68]

@Sheridan_9606 I agree.I too use that junction daily cycling & see multiple red light jumpers. If the cycle lane is blocked as I have seen, they are forced into the narrowing road, albeit 2 lanes & it can be dangerous.I’m not sure what happened but it’s possible this is what has occurred today

[Christopher Leader @CJLeader68]

@dave_lufccabbie I agree Dave. I’m a cyclist and car driver. I’m always amazed how many jump red lights there and cyclists that don’t use the safe lane. Having said that there’s been occasion where a vehicle is blocking the lane, forcing cyclists into a dangerous part of the road.

[Christopher Leader @CJLeader68]

@psimonk @London_Cycling I didn’t witness the actual accident. I arrived shortly after 😢 I know the junction well & use it daily. It has a dedicated cycle lane just beyond the lights & I often witness issues here so it does not surprise me that an incident has occurred.

[Christopher Leader @CJLeader68]

@FloEshalomi @metpoliceuk @LondonFire @Ldn_Ambulance I arrived here just after this happened. Absolutely horrific scenes. I take my hat off to all the emergency service personnel who deal with such horrendous situations like this. My thoughts are with the victim’s loved ones & those service personnel who were in attendance. 😓😢

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I thank His Majesty King Charles III @RoyalFamily, the United Kingdom, and all valiant American hearts for this clarion call for unity in support of Ukraine across the Atlantic. This is exactly what is needed to bring dignified and lasting peace to Ukraine and all of Europe. The people of Ukraine deeply appreciate all the support provided by the United Kingdom and the United States. Thank you.

[Florence Eshalomi MP @FloEshalomi]

Very sad to hear about a fatal road traffic accident on Kennington Park Road. My thoughts & prayers to the victims family. Thank you to our emergency services for their response. Please try &avoid the area as the road is still closed off. @metpoliceuk @LondonFire @Ldn_Ambulance
