Thanks to friends & ex-constituents for all the messages of support.

1/6 🧵

Just resigned from the #Labour Party. I first joined the party in 1995 and resigned for personal and ethical reasons with the ‘illegal’ foreign policy stance during the New Labour government. I rejoined in 2015.

Swedish academic Andreas Malm has been denied entry to the UK over his plans to appear on a panel alongside Palestine Action cofounder Huda Ammori because the gov't says his “presence in the UK is not considered to be conducive to the public good”.

🚨 TOWER HAMLETS LABOUR: THIRD PLACE? THE HOLBORN BY-ELECTION EFFECT

Labour won just 21.1% in Tower Hamlets’ 2026 mayoral election, narrowly ahead of the Greens on 20.9%. In Holborn, the Greens are also challenging Labour.

Two constituencies. One question: is Labour facing a deeper crisis?

Could the realignment spread by 2030?

The issue with projections such as these is running off a local election for a by-election. In a local election, an existing councillor has around 10 to 15% of their votes on a personal basis. These soft votes are for anyone taking, as the councillor is not on the ballot.

🗳️ Holborn and St Pancras projection:

🔴 LAB: 42% (-7)
🟢 GRN: 29% (+19)
🔵 CON: 10% (+3)
➡️ REF: 9% (+3)
🟠 LIB: 7% (+1)
⚪️ OTH: 3% (-19)

Labour HOLD (13% swing to Green)

Free Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi.

They’ve been held in inhumane conditions without medical attention, and both have reported significant eye damage. No one should be treated this way.

I stand with the thousands of protestors marching in Pakistan demanding their release. The people of Pakistan deserve free and fair elections.

@HarcaPoplar @ApsanaBegumMP @LutfurRahmanTH @TowerHamletsNow @TheSliceTowHam @ELAdvertiser @PuruMiah 5/ Update: @HarcaPoplar staff have been seen removing the dumped rubbish. A positive step and welcome response in getting the area cleaned up. 👏 Independent resident action is necessarily when everything else fails. Just incase it's missed some more rubbish to collect please.

[BICWO @BICWO2014]

@HarcaPoplar @ApsanaBegumMP @LutfurRahmanTH @TowerHamletsNow @TheSliceTowHam @ELAdvertiser @PuruMiah 4/ Enough is enough. Residents are documenting these problems because they want action, not excuses. @PoplarHARCA must keep emergency routes clear and deal with dumped waste. #BurdettEstate #Accountability

[BICWO @BICWO2014]

@HarcaPoplar @ApsanaBegumMP @LutfurRahmanTH @TowerHamletsNow @TheSliceTowHam @ELAdvertiser @PuruMiah 3/ 🚒 BLOCKED EMERGENCY ACCESS

Despite repeated warnings and a recent fire where crews struggled to access the estate, emergency access remains blocked. This needs urgent action. @PoplarHARCA #EmergencyAccess #FireSafety

[BICWO @BICWO2014]

@HarcaPoplar @ApsanaBegumMP @LutfurRahmanTH @TowerHamletsNow @TheSliceTowHam @ELAdvertiser @PuruMiah 2/ 🚨 More rubbish and discarded items creating potential fire hazards. After the recent estate fire, why are these issues still being allowed to remain? @PoplarHARCA #FireSafety

[BICWO @BICWO2014]

🧵 BURDETT ESTATE

1/ Dumped furniture and rubbish left around the estate. A fire and safety concern that residents should not have to keep reporting. @HarcaPoplar #BurdettEstate

Oh dear, the difference between armchair and actual on-the-ground organising. Next week will tell whether this tweet ages well.

50/50 implies Labour or Greens win within a percentage point or two.

This won't happen.

Labour will win Holborn and St Pancras by more than 10 points.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
