IN FULL: @KemiBadenoch delivers a barnstorming speech ahead of the local elections on Thursday.

Vote Conservative tomorrow 🗳️

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Here’s how I see it.

The runners are passing the building at mile 3 right now. We're working to acquire it from the MOD and return it to public use after 25 years closed.

[David Frost @DavidGHFrost]

Extraordinary that the Labour Party in Greenwich is trying to get votes by promising free bikes for children, paid for with everyone else's council tax money.

Via the Greenwich Wire (I would tag them but they left X in an Elon-related huff).

Sadiq Khan said he would protect the Green Belt - now he is planning to concrete over it. He said he wants a Brownfield first, but he won't enforce it.

Broken promises and empty words. Londoners deserve better.

Greenwich Council Leader Anthony Okereke forced through his changes to limit Qs & scrutiny last night, in one of the longest council meetings in history. 28 Labour councillors voted FOR. All 8 Conservative, Green, Ind councillors voted AGAINST. A dark day for our local democracy

[Geoff Brighty @GeoffBrighty]

⁦@Royal_Greenwich⁩ - this mess on Shooters Hill Road at the corner of Kidbrooke Grove (each side) has still not been cleared.

[Matt Hartley @MattHartley100]

It's been confirmed the Labour Government is 𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 Greenwich Council's funding by £7m in cash terms over next 3 years. Where's the outrage from the Labour councillors who run our borough? 🤔

[Thomas Turrell AM @ThomasFTurrell]

Blanket 20mph and LTNs are failing. Instead of working with successful councils like Bromley (which has seen one of biggest decreases in people killed or seriously injured) Sadiq Khan keeps trying to force anti-car zealousy one-size fits schemes onto all of London.

[Geoff Brighty @GeoffBrighty]

⁦@Royal_Greenwich⁩ Shooters Hill Rd SE3 outside 38 corner with Kidbrooke Grove uncleared leaves now a soggy mess & collecting litter. Same on other corner outside 36 Shooters Hill Rd. Can RBG clear it away - been overlooked for weeks

[Matt Hartley @MattHartley100]

Labour councillors voted to cut short last night’s Greenwich Council meeting, rather than debate their own Labour government’s 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 report finding Greenwich one of the 13 worst councils for potholes. Read the proposal @GreenwichTories put forward https://t.co/xKtoekvi5g

@Telegraph @RobertJenrick I’ll be looking for another newspaper if The Telegraph persists in promoting Jenrick and Reform

[Geoff Brighty @GeoffBrighty]

@TelePolitics @Telegraph So what

[Matt Hartley @MattHartley100]

Greenwich Council now ranked as one of the 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐬 in country for repairing potholes by their own Labour Government. Little wonder after years of policy they even called ‘managed decline’. Labour’s anti-driver agenda infects everything

A wise cat ! And still cute

[Thomas Turrell AM @ThomasFTurrell]

Spent my bank holiday evening building a pirate ship for the cats. Only for Phryne to decided she much prefers the box it came in.

[Geoff Brighty @GeoffBrighty]

⁦@Royal_Greenwich⁩ Yet again bins in Vicarage Avenue SE3 overflowing - having to step over dog poo bags on pathway. Litter / cigarette buts around benches. A pleasant spot spoiled by Council apathy and some couldn’t care less about environment folks.

[Geoff Brighty @GeoffBrighty]

Good turnout for Greenwich Council’s LTN feedback session at Mycenae House tonight. Majority had a negative view and some anger. Trust in Council on this not high

[Geoff Brighty @GeoffBrighty]

Delighted to have been elected as Chair of the Westcombe Society for a 3rd year
