@nebriefing how do I get a sharable version of this clip?

[bristlingnarratives @gioiozzi]

@haringeycouncil @perayahmet @ekarkell the guy in glasses is parks boss Simon Farrow who's turning our park into an event zone, with Peray Ahmet & Emily Arkell. None care about the park. Events turn it into a damaged dustbowl every year. Ecology wrecked, trees chopped, soil so compacted it rockets sound out for miles.

[bristlingnarratives @gioiozzi]

@haringeycouncil @perayahmet @ekarkell Wow. Crowing about turning the park into even more of an event zone like it's something really high tech. They have no shame. How out of touch these councillors are with so much local anger about events which are louder, bigger & more destructive with no consultation with locals.

@HaringeyLabour Lots of stakeholders weren't notified.
Finsbury Park is one of the most degraded parks in London, crime ridden with broken benches, fences, chopped trees and often locked toilets. Are you honesly saying that money is put back in?

[bristlingnarratives @gioiozzi]

@Keir_Starmer perhaps Israel and the US should not be bombing Iran?

[bristlingnarratives @gioiozzi]

@rivkahbrown thanks for reporting on this, it will actually be two terms, 8 years and lock any new LA councillors into a deal they may well not want for their residents! outrageous.

[Rivkah Brown @rivkahbrown]

NEW: Haringey council has been sending panicked emails and calls to several of the stakeholders it hadn't consulted, apologising for the oversight and asking for feedback on the deal. Labour has pushed back the deal-signing from today to tomorrow.

@usma92_wv @HarrisonKrank we are not separate from environment and nature, we are a species amongst other species, what a silly question...

@haringeycouncil @CllrSeema Why are U celebrating blocking a bus lane? Buses are there for the very people you profess to serve: ordinary people who don't own cars & need to get around! How on earth does this align with your active travel & climate targets? @HaringeyGreens @Ruairidh_paton @HaringeyCyclist

@_Rob_Wallace I hope you didn't chop down that wonderful tree.

@siomoCTV Hi well done...wondered if you kept your ovaries? x

[bristlingnarratives @gioiozzi]

@Nigel_Farage oh diddums

[bristlingnarratives @gioiozzi]

@Keir_Starmer protect our green spaces, stop building houses for profit, start building proper council housing again, build on brownfield, not green sites. You want to trash the meagre rights of wildlife/nature with your planning & infrastructure bill. think how this will impact the future.

[bristlingnarratives @gioiozzi]

@Funkychicken721 @therealmissjo I had one of these.

[bristlingnarratives @gioiozzi]

@therealmissjo We had one, we loved it too.

[bristlingnarratives @gioiozzi]

@Keir_Starmer Destroying what's left of our nature and green spaces...untrammelled growth is a death spiral, sustainable circular economies are the only way forwards. We have enough roads, cars, airports on this island...you r a massive disappointment as you roll back environmental promises.

[bristlingnarratives @gioiozzi]

@SarahLancsUK It was really good! Joanna Scanlon is amazing.

[bristlingnarratives @gioiozzi]
