I’m deeply concerned at media reports that the new Ayatollah has a London property empire including in Kensington & Bayswater. It’s vital sanctions are urgently considered - and this is an example of the importance of an accurate foreign property register to clamp down on dirty

The main political parties all colluded to deliberately increase the cost of energy, while dodging long-term decisions on new nuclear and more. Now the bad times are here and we all pay a price.
My latest @theipaper column is on the political errors which left Britain uniquely vulnerable to the global energy market storm arising from the war in Iran

Happy 90th Birthday to Ar Maureen "Big Mo" Harris. Obsessed with the fact she's meant to be older than Pat, Peggy, Pauline and Dot yet is the last of the matriarchs still standing. She's not in today's episode and they've not even acknowledged her birthday #EastEnders

This reporting interestingly omits that he’s been homeless for years & he sleeps on trains. Homeless people tend to go up and down public transport, it’s warmer and away from the elements.
A "brazen" rail fare dodger has been fined more than £3,600 after failing to pay for a ticket on over a hundred journeys. More here: https://t.co/3Enl1sWQbo

This is exactly how gentrification operates
After 36 years in business, Brixton News will close on Friday. TfL tripled their rent demands to £120,000 - but since reduced the figure to £85,000, after failing to find a willing tenant. We can reveal TfL are still yet to confirm the new vendor — and in promo materials

It's hard to believe that today marks 10 years since our PhD student #GiulioRegeni was abducted whilst conducting fieldwork in #Egypt. He was tortured and murdered. Justice has not been done. As ever, I lit a candle for Giulio in our chapel. We will never forget.

Johnny Mac on the money as per
I’ve declined all media for the last 48 hours because I didn’t want the Burnham issue to be dragged into Left /Right stereotypical reporting. It isn’t that. It’s a straightforward power without principle struggle waged by the clique of advisers around Keir Starmer. 1/5

Somehow, at some point in the last few years it has become acceptable to publicly mock trans people. This isn’t about vulnerable women’s spaces, or women’s sport, it’s about delighting in declaring your disgust for a tiny minority of other humans and it has to stop.
