"We would describe this as driving a coach and horses through Sadiq Khan’s Transport Strategy but a coach and horses would be less damaging to the Labour Mayor of London’s air quality targets than this giveaway to drivers will be."

Forhad Hussain ought to have spoken out by now on the current genocide in Gaza. This meant distancing himself from the national Labour Party, even though he owes his position – as an imposed candidate for Mayor – to them, not to a local selectorate.

"A team emerged via a deselection battle within the Labour Party that brought together a diversity of talents and skills which had had little outlet in the Robin Wales era, and yet the new Mayor insisted only her own talents and skills were required"

[Stop Silvertown Tunnel Traffic and Pollution @SilvertownTn]

Zurich tunnel originally intended for cars has been converted into a tunnel for cyclists. It runs beneath the main station connected two parts of the city. It demonstrates the priority to bicycles in the city & that they are firmly expected to continue to be used in the future ❤️
