@tomhfh Tom, when did Manchester ever have social housing requirements? This is not London.

Flotilla activist Daniela Bonamico initially reported a sprained ankle, fractured tailbone, and leg injuries from a flash grenade while in Israeli custody, and has now added a broken rib to her list of injuries.

When asked about her apparent speedy recovery, she said she had to sit on a donut cushion during her flight back to Canada.

Why is Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon breaking his promise to make London’s rivers swimmable?

One of the most eye-catching promises the Mayor made to get elected, was to make London’s rivers swimmable. But halfway through his term he has made no progress towards this goal, & seems to be quietly dropping this goal on the basis that it isn’t achievable.
However, as a guardian of London’s third biggest river, who knows the river better than most, I know it is a completely achievable goal with effort & imagination. Further, the volunteer charity I run put forward a detailed plan to make the Roding swimmable, which was rejected by the Mayor’s Grow Back Greener fund without explanation. Here’s a thread, on how the Mayor can live up to his promises 🧵

@afalkhatib How did they know to run out of the way?

[Dan McCurry @dan_mccurry]

@Frencheconomics Sadly true.

[Dan McCurry @dan_mccurry]

@paulpowlesland Would it work on the river Roding? The water being so salty. It would be wonderful for there to be water at low tide, rather than the entire river disappearing.

@NoaMagid They probably just want jobs.

@paulpowlesland I was walking past Hand Trough Creek the other day and saw a Greater Whitethroat and a Blackcap. There is lovely nature along there.

He is going to be a complete and utter disaster.

@sanchezcastejon You'll be back next time.

@PJTheEconomist The proposal Wes should make to the EU states, is that we go back in exactly as we left. As if we pretend the whole Brexit thing never happened.

@paulpowlesland @jonburkeUK Maybe Hackney weren't charging because the residents were registering their address elsewhere, which is was Zak did.

@MatthewdAncona @Terrympaul Free movement with Palestine would be an election winner.

[Dan McCurry @dan_mccurry]

@richferrer @owenjonesjourno I agree. F*ck off, Owen.

Two faces of the Green Party. The new Green party membership has a message for its old leader Caroline Lucas.

[Kosher @koshercockney]

Wow. @TrevorPTweets makes an excellent point here

@ZackPolanski is more than happy to state that his Jewish heritage gives him authority on the subject

But when certain Muslims say that the Muslim community should do more to call out Antisemitism amongst Muslims..

Zack makes the case that those Muslims seemingly do NOT have authority to say such things and their comments are “inflammatory”

(you can see that part of the interview in the thread below)👇🏽

@afneil Joining the EU would cause interest rates to drop by 0.6% overnight. Even just the promise to join.
