Good morning ⁦@ContactKingston⁩ - please can you have a look at these paving stones, one of which rocks and is a trip hazard. Location Norbiton Avenue between Station Approach and Homersham Road. This is an area with very high footfall with people walking to the station

[Charles Tugendhat @c_tugendhat]

@ContactKingston flytipping on Station Approach in Norbiton, with rubbish strewn on the road. Would be great if you could get someone round

WE NOW HAVE A YEAR OF DATA SINCE 20MPH WAS INTRODUCED IN WALES

There were around 100 fewer people killed or seriously injured on 20/30mph roads.

The number of casualties in 2024 from July-Sept was the lowest Q3 figures in Wales since records began.

Over the year since it came in the number of casualties on roads affected by the law is 28% lower than the year before.

This is good policy making.

@METROBUS looks like 100 people waiting by redhill station as trains aren’t running. Are you adjusting the number of buses you are putting on so people can get home?

Hi all, I've decided to share this video. Just b4 Christmas my autistic sister Katie (who doesn't speak and has the mindset of a toddler) went 2 buy a £2 dvd but the till had closed early and started crying in the shop. Police were called& forcibly removed her. #AutismAwareness

a bit of a Banquet / Tolley in The Times today. it’s a well written piece. you can tell we were talking, not typing.

best quote is “Tolley is tall, rangy and talkative.” had to google rangy. phew, it’s fine

anyway, deal is Banquet / Kingston gigs continue to be newsworthy

[Charles Tugendhat @c_tugendhat]

@JonTolleyTweets Nice!

"2024 was more an exorcism than an election".

As the Conservatives prepare to announce their new leader, here's a long-read from me on the crisis of Conservatism, the dilemmas that now confront it, and why the party urgently needs "An End to Fantasies".

Women around the UK will seek out Refuge’s support services when they’re ready to leave an abusive partner. We can only support them with your help. Can you donate to Refuge and help us to provide a warm bed, a cup of tea and pyjamas for a woman that has fled to safety?

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Earlier today, I visited @SteppingStoneDS with @alexbrewer, who made a huge impact running it before entering Parliament. The work they do for children with Down syndrome and their families is inspiring.

Had a great time meeting the kids and speaking with their amazing staff.

Thanks for your support, Paul.

You want to be careful going to the BBC, they said.

They’re very serious, they said.

They won’t green light your silly ideas, they said.

They were wrong…

[Alex Brewer MP 🔶 @alexbrewer]

Great to speak to @PancreaticCanUK today at #LDConf and to learn more about early detection.
This is such an important area of work.

@mrjamesob Following the announcement of the Grenfell Tower report, I thought I would pass on my experience. As you know I was a senior trading standards officer made redundant in 2010, one of the first to go as a result of Cameron's austerity cuts.

A huge shoutout to @clarksshoes for going above and beyond making reasonable adjustments for your #autistic customers. Your staff at Longwell Green, Bristol, are a shining example of excellent customer care

📰 Think you know all about house prices and pay inequality? Think again.

Perceptions take a while to catch up with reality and that presents a challenge for the new government - @PJTheEconomist in @thetimes today

Research from Helsinki shows how building more market-rate housing can benefit low and middle-income residents.

Let's break down the "moving chains" and why this matters for housing policy! 🏘️🔬

[Kingston Council @RBKingston]

Did you know that as well as giving to your local charity shops, you can bring preloved items in good condition to Villiers Road Household Reuse and Recycling Centre? Next time you visit, why not bring some items to drop off for reuse? ♻️ #GreenerKingston
