@mmehmood73 @NewhamIndParty @SophiaNaqvi1 @TaqishahShah @TahirMirzaPTI @OliurRa42036846 @MDNazrulIslam68 @ZGulamussen @qasimgsw @ESdispossessed Hi Mehmood, not had a response from the main account but a response about councillors setting up their surgeries would be great. Feels much more important for local people to know when and where they can meet their councillors.

[Ryan MacGillivray @RyanMacG]

Hi @NewhamIndParty appreciate you’ve been spending huge amounts of time posting your grievances with the council AGM but any chance you could properly publish and publicise surgeries for your councillors? I can’t find any details for East Ham ward for example? 1/2

[Ryan MacGillivray @RyanMacG]

Given you’ve got 3 councillors elected here that’s very poor, you talked a lot on the doorstep about being a voice for locals but so far you seem invisible locally and to be spending a lot of time speaking about issues the local council has no control over. 2/2

Honestly if anything I think this shows significant lack of coffee game. He could easily have bought several Weber Key coffee grinders for around £2k each and a DE1 Pro coffee machine. Bean to cup is truly a sign that the wrong sickness has taken you.

Murrell’s actions may be unforgivable, but wonder if a few coffee nerds recognise the spiral

@AndySmithNewham @joehudsonsmall @natehiggins The cabinet is at least a 50/50 split in that regard.

[Ryan MacGillivray @RyanMacG]

@joehudsonsmall @natehiggins That made up a lot of the previous council session. Irrespective of my politics I think the outcome we saw last night is probably the correct one for the people of Newham in terms of both Chair and committee composition. I’m really not sure what NIP would be happy with

[Ryan MacGillivray @RyanMacG]

@joehudsonsmall @natehiggins I found a lot of the grandstanding on this by NIP very frustrating especially when my new councillor spoke. Obviously I would have preferred an outcome where Labour had retained a true majority but I sort of hoped that either way we’d have moved past the grandstanding from NIP…

[Ryan MacGillivray @RyanMacG]

Congratulations to @natehiggins on being elected Council Chair and First Citizen of Newham, has by all accounts been a wonderful councillor and has always been great opposition

@Steven_Swinford 75 isn’t a quarter of 404…

@BTM9876 @9Salazar62207 @leap_dog Would argue the committee referendum failing had more to do with Mirza running the committee campaign and insisting somehow that it would pay for everything

[Ryan MacGillivray @RyanMacG]

@CllrSarahRuiz Think the CLP suspensions are a massive problem too, makes it harder to get the grassroots organising right and meant no matter how good new candidates were the first time members new who they were was leaflets coming through their doors

[Ryan MacGillivray @RyanMacG]

@owenjonesjourno Two very different offerings though so you wouldn’t just get straight conversion. The Corbyn endorsed independents are a load of landlords, dodgy ex Labour members and a couple of ex tories for good measure wanging on about how great cars are. Hardly great left wing options.

Oh yeah, we had a baby

Forgot to talk about this but if you're a TMUX user or even better a TPM user, I've been working on (and released) a drop in replacement for it. Check it out (and if you really love it buy me a ko-fi to help me balance this, a job, and a baby 😂)

People say whippets don’t cause you brain damage but the guy drinking horse electrolytes might be a good argument otherwise
