This looks nice doesn’t it. It’s a photo sent to me by a friend in Bethnal Green.

Well don’t get too excited about it, because this is just some of the infrastructure that the Mayor of Tower Hamlets, Lutfur Rahman wants to spend 2.5 million pounds ripping out. This would … 1/4

12 brave souls collected 30 plus bags. And we are wondering why we pick up so many little dog poop bags (used). If you’ve bagged it - surely you can bin it? Answers on a postcard! ⁦@Flats_Pickers⁩

When we're told we're a "nation of drivers", so many of us are excluded.
We need safe streets, accessible pavements, comprehensive cycle and mobility networks and high quality public transport in order to provide #MobilityJustice and #Equity to all.

[Professor Ahmed Hankir @ahmedhankir]

When I was a medical student in Manchester I developed a devastating mental health condition triggered by the trauma of the Lebanon war, poverty, accommodation & food insecurity & being far removed from my loved ones. The symptoms were so severe I was forced to interrupt medical school. I was stigmatised & shunned & I lost all hope I’d ever recover & qualify. However, with specialist support from a Consultant psychiatrist I slowly got my life back on track, resumed medical school & graduated. I wanted to help patients with mental health conditions the same way the consultant psychiatrist helped me so I decided to specialise in psychiatry. Today is my first day as Consultant Psychiatrist. What an opportunity to serve society & to support the most vulnerable amongst us. I promise I’ll do everything I can to improve the lives of patients with mental health conditions. Special thanks to Prof @gedbyrne & @DrRZaman who saw me at my lowest all those years ago (way before I joined Twitter!) & who empowered me to recover & realise my potential.

Today’s news: 19,000 people evacuated from fires on Island of Rhodes.

We have a climate emergency.

Politicians of all parties have to show leadership and tackle this crisis - it must be the top National and City Level priority. There is no planet B.

Uxbridge & ULEZ

1. ULEZ was initiated by Boris Johnson long before Sadiq Khan.

2. The Conservative government under Grant Shapps made expanding ULEZ a condition of providing financial support to TFL during covid.

3. The Conservative government have provided funds to cities such as Birmingham (with a Conservative mayor), but not to London (with a Labour mayor).

Clean air is good, we need more of it.

Underfunding from the Conservative government which has caused the ULEZ charge is the problem. - Billions given to bankers in tax cuts, billions wasted in PPE/covid fraud, billions wasted on refugee bargees.

We need a different and better government. A pity the people of Uxbridge voted for more of the same.

ULEZ expansion - a public health intervention.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Hard-hitting analysis from @AsthmaLungUk in the @EveningStandard revealing that 4 in 5 of GP surgeries with the highest rates of asthma for London are in outer London.

Cleaning up London’s air is vital for Londoners’ health.
