Very pleased to hear that my work at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Greenwich which documents the I Wish project with patients, parents and staff, has been labelled. We will celebrate the installation once it’s safe to. Thank you for all you do @LG_NHS. https://t.co/W7LqptoKzg

Another clue is that the carvings include images of rhinoceroses and hippopotamuses. That suggests that the drawings date even farther back, to 20,000 or 30,000 years ago because fossil evidence indicates that’s when those animals lived in this region. https://t.co/qvBpvwiaxe

I was pleased to help leaflet yesterday at the foot tunnel. There’s no way on earth I can carry my heavy (but wonderful) e-bike up and down those stairs. I was amazed at how many did in the 45 minutes I was there. Many proud of doing it, but for those who can’t? @London_Cycling
Following our complaint about signage the council finally acted. But for how long?! While the unreliability of these lifts continues,the public,*local businesses*, students, mobility cycle users, wheelchair users, parents with prams,and our commuters are being compromised on a

“Art is often the theory of the impossible, a land to which those who dream of collective freedom immigrate in order to live + breathe without the burden of what has come before. We recognize this space because we live in it daily.” @hyperallergic

Can’t believe Chancellor is seriously considering slashing support for home energy efficiency as a way to cut fuel bills 👀Locking people into cold & leaky homes which will cost them more to heat & decimating insulation industry at same time. Total madness

We would like to know this too. How is Silvertown Tunnel affecting local traffic? Do the tolls still cause rat running elsewhere?
@GreenGreenwich @aidanmasmith @sishort @GreenwichTories @LakshanSaldin Do you think traffic avoiding Silvertown Tunnel might be in the mix in East Greenwich/Charlton? Maybe it will die down, given 6 more months, then Charlton residents could see better what’s caused by the scheme, and what’s caused by Silvertown and Blackwall tolls. @SilvertownTn

The party even proposed a millionaires�� tax. And it worked. Voters are not afraid of such policies – they want them. Dutch voters have been seduced by positivity – liberals elsewhere, take note

By selling hope alongside progressive patriotism, the centrist D66 party widened its appeal and beat the far right, says Dutch journalist Simon van Teutem

A good start. But far better would be to take the massively under-used Silvertown Tunnel (theoretical capacity 100k vehicles/day, use 22K/day) and make the southbound bore electric buses and a two-way bike lane only. So finally, a reliable river crossing in the East.

“There are a number of reasons why voters seem to be flocking to the Green Party at this particular moment.” 150,000 members and rising. Labour must respond to this call from the next generation. @Ed_Miliband needs more funding for climate measures, we need much MORE wind power.
“More people than ever (72%) are concerned about the impacts of climate change. Renewables are viewed by the public overall as cheaper, better for the country’s energy security and more popular than coal, oil and gas,” @carla_denyer 💚
