@paulpowlesland @MayorofLondon What a fantastic river with obviously loads more potential. Come on @MayorofLondon pull your finger out!

[Paul Powlesland @paulpowlesland]

Why is Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon breaking his promise to make London’s rivers swimmable?

One of the most eye-catching promises the Mayor made to get elected, was to make London’s rivers swimmable. But halfway through his term he has made no progress towards this goal, & seems to be quietly dropping this goal on the basis that it isn’t achievable.
However, as a guardian of London’s third biggest river, who knows the river better than most, I know it is a completely achievable goal with effort & imagination. Further, the volunteer charity I run put forward a detailed plan to make the Roding swimmable, which was rejected by the Mayor’s Grow Back Greener fund without explanation. Here’s a thread, on how the Mayor can live up to his promises 🧵

Today, they hanged him in Iran for protesting.❤️

Now you understand why I showed a graphic image of a hanged man in front of 2,000 people in Washington DC.

If that image was too sensitive for people in the West، this is Iran's daily reality. 4 to 5 people hanged. Every. Single. Day. By the same regime that Western governments are rushing to negotiate with.

Right after my speech, this man was hanged.

Fathollah Avari was arrested in Hamedan during Iran's nationwide uprising in January 2026. The Islamic Republic secretly executed him on Tuesday no last goodbye, no final visit with his family.

They charged him with "waging war against God" .

And yet some of you in the West are more worried about Islamophobia than about people being executed under the Islamic regime.

Ask me again why I hold up graphic images. 💔

Every life matters.

One law. One standard. For everyone. 

This is about justice, for Henry, for his family and for all our children. They deserve better.

@London_W4 It won't be long before you have enough material for another book! Really sorry about your day but glad it turned out nice again! 😂

These are radical Sikhs who will attack you if you don’t agree with them. I’ve been under attack by them for the last three years as I disagree with their radicalised ideology.

They are following radical Islamist ideology, against which the Sikhism Khalsa was founded by Our tenth Guru.

@UKLabour Why are you letting this illegal activity to flourish?

[Stef Costello Spode @StefSpodeUK]

🚨 LIVE CHICKENS are being sold from packed crates in the back of vans on British streets.

Meanwhile, Britain’s farmers operate under some of the strictest animal welfare regulations in the world, buried beneath inspections, licensing and endless compliance rules.

Chickens are already the most abused animals in Britain. What many people now see emerging is a two-tier welfare system where standards appear rigidly enforced for some whilst quietly ignored for others.
