Pigeons at the Elephant & Castle in 2022.

The developer of the shopping centre site has this week told Southwark Council that once the scheme opens this autumn, a hawk will regularly be deployed to deter pigeons from the complex.

TOGETHER. UNTIL THE END.

Health inequalities in this country are massive and unacceptable. Poverty, housing and jobs discriminations are all important facctors.

Wangari Maathai was the first female professor in Kenya and the first African woman to be awarded the #NobelPeacePrize.

Born on this day, she was a committed environmentalist and founded the Green Belt Movement, which led to the planting of millions of trees.

Update from Jamaica: all barriers are now back in operation following Hurricane Melissa.

[Dawn Butler ✊🏾💙 @DawnButlerBrent]

The Reform MP's racist comments were disgraceful. Her so-called apology doesn't cut it.

So I called it out in Parliament.

It is up to all of us to bravely call out racism - and we will. 👇🏾

[Andrew Holness @AndrewHolnessJM]

Today, I’m pleased to announce the launch of https://t.co/DLpVpnsuOv, the Government of Jamaica’s official platform to coordinate relief, mobilize support, and manage recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Melissa.

The site allows users to donate securely, submit pledges, report emergencies, and locate nearby shelters. It is designed to serve Jamaicans at home and abroad who wish to assist with national recovery efforts.

Please remember, if it doesn’t end with .gov.jm, it is not an official Government of Jamaica website.

A gentle reminder to UK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 media
Black & brown people don’t have to be nursing you or working as carers wiping the backsides of your elderly parents to be worthy of your condescension & entitled to human rights . Human Rights are universal, that’s the point .

🚨 PLEASE go and fill in the online consultation survey on what the new ‘Decent Homes Standard’ should include🙏🏽

Perhaps the biggest chance to influence what housing/temporary accommodation will look like in years to come. They need to hear from 🫵🏽

[Herbie Russell @herbie_russell]

Good to see this finally get national coverage. First reported by yours truly.

As councillors have warned, this is likely just the tip of the iceberg - Chilton Grove and Arica House still need looking at.
