The actions of the Archdiocese are unacceptable. Would they ban me from visiting as an openly gay MP?

Thinking of those fellow 50,000 couples whose dreams of getting married in the coming weeks have been cruelly scuppered today.
Lifting the cap on numbers is a smokescreen when the majority of what most couples would expect to do at a wedding cannot take place.

⚠️ This is what the Mayor thinks of those who oppose ULEZ expansion:
Khan’s comments about those opposing his ULEZ plans are disgusting.
How can Starmer still back his failing Mayor after those comments? If he can’t handle scrutiny then he should resign.

⚠️WHERE’S SUTTON COUNCIL?!⚠️
Great to see these Conservative-led councils have launched a Judicial Review to probe and challenge the ULEZ expansion to Outer London.

They’re nowhere to be seen.

This is incredibly sad to hear. The 'Safe To Be Me' Conference was a chance for the UK to be a world leader and to help other nations who were looking to the UK. The resignation of Iain Anderson, dropping T from the conversion therapy ban and now this? I'm extremely concerned.
BREAKING: The government’s international LGBT conference, which was due to set an example to the rest of the world, has been cancelled.
It follows over 100 organisations boycotting the event over the govt’s plans to only partially ban conversion therapy.

That’s £12.50 a day to use your car for the poorest Londoners who can’t upgrade their vehicles.
The Mayor said this was a genuine consultation and if Londoners said no, he wouldn’t do it. Well about 60% of Londoners said no. How much more overwhelming does it have to be?!

Sadiq Khan’s latest announcement doesn’t add up.
It's:
Too little: £2,000 will hardly make a dent.
Too late: not only has the money grab been exposed, but the new eligibility only comes in a week before expansion does!
