Congratulations to @hackneygreens @ZoeGarbett and all the elected Cllrs in Hackney. Progressive politics has always played a central part of my vision for a brighter future. Strong statements were made at the local elections and residents across the borough need change!

The political tide has shifted significantly.

@sc_jolly @Tennissima72 Im quoting ATP Insight stats mate. Any other stat aren’t accurate.

[Emmanuel Akin @EmmanuelAk_]

@sc_jolly @Tennissima72 On what planet are you watching 🎾? Fonsi hits harder than Litos? Alcaraz averages a 9.7 on his forehand and 9/10 shots are winners. That’s average ability for Alcaraz!! Fonseca has a good forehand no doubt but be careful when you compare to Alcaraz’s form. He’s unplayable.

AJ,

I extend my deep sympathies to you following the tragic accident on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, which claimed two precious lives and caused you injuries.

This immense tragedy casts a deep shadow on this season.

I sympathise with you and your family as you bear the emotional weight of this unfortunate incident. As a sportsman, you have always shown courage, discipline, and unwavering love for our country. These are qualities that have made you a source of national pride.

In moments like this, we must encourage one another as brothers and sisters with a shared destiny.

I pray for strength, wisdom, and grace for you during this painful period. May God grant you a speedy recovery and repose to the souls of the departed.

➡️ A key STEM approach within enrichment/supplementary education which helps Students to be encouraged with exploring, investigating and discovering concepts through open-ended questions and activities, often with a focus on conceptual understanding rather than just memorising.

There’s been a lot of awareness shared recently about Trannformative Education and this picture reminds me of a very interesting conversation I had with an ex student in one of my Young Leaders Masterclasses. 🧵 👇🏽

Important news here, more resourceful investing into the work already delivered across various communities. Especially here in Hackney for @MPSHackney and @hackneycouncil in order to significantly address all forms of rising crime in the area. #Hackney

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

This summer, town centres and high streets will see more police, as part of our collaborative work to tackle shoplifting, theft and anti-social behaviour.

We’re working with the Met, local partners and community groups to build safer town centres and a safer London for everyone.
