Thank you London ❤️

E-bikes are an easy way to get around, but riders shouldn't be putting others at risk on the road.

Yesterday, @EllyBakerAM asked Commissioner of @metpoliceuk Sir Mark Rowley what's being done to tackle anti-social riding and cyclists running through red lights.

MOTION AGREED: The Mayor should instruct TfL to pause the installation of floating bus stops on the TfL road network, and to pause funding for new floating bus stops through borough programmes. https://t.co/kYJPp9T8ym

Kemi Badenoch admits living standards were shattered under 14 years of the Tories:

A rare practical engineering demonstration today at Transport Committee!

At @LondonAssembly Transport Committee today looking at the condition and maintenance of Thames Road bridges.

[Margaret Mullane MP @Margaret4DR]

For my residents, I am speaking to C2C on the time this is taking with the terrible service disruption. I am also asking the senior leadership about the bus replacement offer. Once this is finished I have asked for a meeting to discuss service delivery. @c2c_Rail

This week I was denied entry into the West Bank as part of an international delegation led by @ProgIntl.

Solidarity is not a crime. Neither is being Palestinian. I will not be intimidated into silence.

My full statement ⬇️

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

Today Israeli authorities barred me and other European elected representatives from entering the West Bank to meet Palestinian students and civil society leaders, as part of a @ProgIntl delegation.

We knew that by crossing into the occupied Palestinian territories, we risked being detained, interrogated and turned away by Israeli authorities. And that, alas, is exactly what happened.

For more than eight hours, we were held, interrogated and made to feel as though we had done something wrong simply by attempting to enter.

The simple truth is we had done nothing wrong. We went to show our support for the Palestinian people and highlight the terrible injustice and violence being perpetrated against them. We want to ensure that people back home do not look away from the reality of what is happening.

Ultimately, we went to show solidarity. But we left with an even greater determination to speak out. We will not be silenced, and we will not look away. None of us should.

[Ed Miliband @Ed_Miliband]

Congratulations to @LulaOficial on his re-election.

Together, our two governments have promoted shared values of democracy, social justice and climate action since 2024 and look forward to continuing to do so.

His victory is a historic win for the global progressive movement.

Everyone deserves to say goodbye to their loved ones with dignity and in keeping with their faith and traditions.

@KrupeshHirani is calling for the new London Plan to address the shortage of suitable crematoria that meet the needs of London’s diverse communities.

[London Assembly Labour 🌹 @CityHallLabour]

The Tories call ULEZ “woke nonsense”, claiming it hurts London’s most vulnerable. But who is more vulnerable than our children, who have no choice over the air they breathe?

@KrupeshHirani points out ULEZ's remarkable impact on a school near the North Circular in Brent.

[London Assembly Labour 🌹 @CityHallLabour]

When a Conservative of 53 years leaves for supporting the European Convention on Human Rights, it shows how far from the mainstream Kemi Badenoch’s party has shifted.

@AndrewBoff deserves credit for standing by his principles.

[Elly Baker @EllyBakerAM]

This is a balanced statement from the always thoughtful @LonTravelWatch on the need to rethink floating bus stops in London.

I support their calls and I hope TfL and boroughs will take heed.

✨Buses for London by London✨

Public ownership could change service quality, driver welfare and reliability for the better.

We want to hear from you - tell us about your bus journey and what you think could be improved about our bus system below.

[London TravelWatch @LonTravelWatch]

Confusion about how to report incidents is putting people off making reports when they experience crime or harassment on public transport. Our new research highlights what more needs to be done...

[London TravelWatch @LonTravelWatch]

We want to see a 'wrap-around' approach where victims of crime on public transport feel cared for, believed and emotionally supported by staff when they report their experience.

Visit our website to see our latest research into the way in which crimes on public transport are reported, and how the current system is failing victims.

🚲 Should dockless e-bike firms face tougher rules?

With complaints about abandoned bikes on the rise, operators were questioned today by the London Assembly's transport committee over licensing rules and how the bikes should be managed.

[London Assembly Labour 🌹 @CityHallLabour]

We all know e-bike parking is a problem. But what about the dangerous riders?

More e-Bikes has meant there are more inexperienced cyclists on our roads - and our pavements.

But do these companies really know just how many users are breaking the rules?

[London Assembly Labour 🌹 @CityHallLabour]

...so you DO want to end Free School Meals?

[London Assembly Labour 🌹 @CityHallLabour]

The Tories said this two years ago, then backed down when they realised how unpopular it was to leave children hungry at school.

I'm sure @EmmaBest22 hasn't thought this one through...
