@carlafrancome It is lovely, but that’s Islington Council’s work, I think!

My niece Beth has gone missing. She got on the Jubilee line at Westminster towards Stratford. She’ll be confused - if you see her please DM

>5,000 casualties on Islington's roads since 2017. Some people seem to think this isn't a problem that needs fixing.

Probably the worst job in policing. This is @SgtTempo on #DeliveringTheMessage to a family that their loved one won't be coming home. Fatal collisions can happen simply because someone chose to drink or take drugs and then drive. Don't let this be you.

Did you know that in the run up to Christmas, the number of people driving in London tends to increase? Offord Road's road pollution is likely to rise (its already above the WHO guidelines). Not so much ho ho ho as cough cough cough....

Rwanda: cruel treatment of vulnerable refugees, costs £200m, we have to take Rwandan refugees, our gov wants to breach international law, Rwanda won’t do that, human rights protect us all. Cruel and futile, marks us out as a lost country. We could employ them, so many shortages!

I'm an associate professor, my wife is not from the UK. We own our flat, we contribute to the economy, but I don't earn enough and it looks like the new rules might mean that my wife has to leave the country. I'm a British citizen, and I'd leave with her.

5th December 1952 marked the start of the horrific Great Smog of London. The smog triggered the process that led to the Clean Air Act in 1956. During the following 5 days, 4000 lives were lost followed by a further 8000 in the following weeks. 1/n
