Markfield Park is brilliant too - not saying Finsbury Park isn't brilliant - but I'm biased!

[Barbara Blake @barbarablake51]

Great work. Thank you.

#IWentToStateSchool and was glad the grammar school system did not exist where I grew up. Not being written off at 11 allowed me to achieve my goals and work towards my dreams. Comprehensive education gave me everything I have.

[Barbara Blake @barbarablake51]

Brilliant. Well done.

[Adam Jogee MP @AJogee]

This has been a long time coming. Elin and I have worked with residents, basically since 2014, to reclaim what was a dump area for the community and here we are! Persistence pays off

Today at midday, firefighters will hold a minute’s silence in memory of their colleagues from Beirut - as @fbunational says, emergency services first on the scene are all too often the first to die. Thoughts remain with them, their families and everyone affected by the explosion.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

31 July 1919 | Primo Levi was born in Turin. An Italian Jewish writer & chemist. From 26 February 1944 a prisoner of the German Nazi #Auschwitz camp (no. 174517). He suervived. In September 1947 he published his book "If this is a man". He passed away in 1987.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

“I am constantly amazed by man's inhumanity to man.”

Those words by Primo Levi are still very relevant. 75 years after the liberation of #Auschwitz we still need this warning to reflect about our moral responsibility for the world we live in.

[Dave Hill @DaveHill]

Think I'm right in saying that a few weeks ago @AndyBurnhamGM was saying infection rates lower in his part of country than in "London". He defines himself in opposition to "London" far too much. Don't reduce #Devolution & fair funding debate to a "north south divide" thing.

[Barbara Blake @barbarablake51]

Great work. Keeping us safe.

[MPS Haringey @MPSHaringey]

Local officers from @MPSWestGreen are conducting patrols across their wards to detect and deter crime.

They will be conducting weapon sweeps, reassurance patrols & ensuring the public are safe.

If you see the team please do stop and have a chat. #CommunityPolicing

Yes it looks lovely when the sun shines but during the winter months it is muddy and often impassable. It should be a good place to walk all year round but without a proper path it's not so easy. #

The new river looking lovely this morning....

[Barbara Blake @barbarablake51]

Congratulation John

[Barbara Blake @barbarablake51]

No. You should tell them to stop.

[Barbara Blake @barbarablake51]

There is a part of me that is looking forward to you experiencing the comment 'Two weeks before Parents Evening and two weeks after Daniel works very hard .......'

[Daniel Blake @danielblake68]

When your own children bring home their school reports it's a frightening glimpse into what you put your own parents through! So proud of these two. This pandemic will not beat us. Thank you state education once again.

[Preventing Genocide @CPG_USHMM]

25 years ago, the world witnessed the largest massacre in Europe since the Holocaust—the genocide at #Srebrenica where more than 7,000 Bosnian Muslim men & boys were killed by Bosnian Serb forces. We honor the victims & survivors. #Bosnia-#Herzegovina

Thank you for all your work here.

[Barbara Blake @barbarablake51]

Keep going and writing

[Dave Hill @DaveHill]

Mission accomplished (at least for today).

[Barbara Blake @barbarablake51]

I walked past Chestnuts Park last night around 11pm and there was a group of people drinking and playing music and this is the result . The council now left to clear up the mess.

[Barbara Blake @barbarablake51]

Great news

[BPAS @BPAS1968]

MPs have just voted 213 - 47 to support @RupaHuq's cross-party bill to put a stop to protests outside abortion clinics. Just the first step for the bill - but great to see such support for women being able to access healthcare without fear of harassment or intimidation. #BackOff

[Barbara Blake @barbarablake51]

And its the best thing anyone can do.

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

Join a union.

That’s it. That’s the tweet.
