Deeply saddened with the news that Vince Power has passed. The Kilmacthomas native changed the face of live music in Britain and created some of our greatest musical memories. A life less ordinary for sure. 💚

Exclusive: review of LTNs ordered by Rishi Sunak last year in a seeming attempt to block new ones has actually concluded they are generally popular and effective - so officials discussed burying it. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/m…

Stripping Shamima Begum of her citizenship when she was groomed at 15 years old by adult men, raped, married, and abused is one of the most appalling decisions I’ve ever seen. And I want to draw your attention to a parallel. The judge Dame Sue Carr stated today, ‘It could…

Today at Highbury and Islington station I announced the new names for the London Overground lines and revealed the latest version of our Tube map. Not only will it be easier than ever to navigate the Overground, the lines now reflect London’s rich local culture and history.

Hello Jay, we welcome a large number of refugees into Islington because we believe in supporting the destitute, because we want to do our share for the country, and because they usually enrich our community. What are you doing?

I suggest London Boroughs of Islington, (particularly Canonbury & Highbury Fields areas), Camden, (particularly Hampstead, Highgate, Primrose Hill, Kentish Town), and all of Kensington, Chelsea & Westminster. Then, we might see some action!

I don't understand how a referendum for basic rights can be conducted; fundamentally, this should not be allowed. This principle is crucial in the context of colonialism. #auspol

I liked when the anti road closure campaigners closed the road with their march showing how lovely a pedestrianised Upper Street would be

Suella Braverman says multiculturalism has failed. She should come to Islington North, where strength in diversity is our greatest success.

I’m mad as hell to see how a party I was once proud to be part of, disrespects and unfairly treats @HackneyAbbott - I’m sick of it! Between the Forde report, the abuse & experiences of Black members, nothing separates @UKLabour from other institutionally racist institutions

As a Black woman, and someone on the left of the Labour Party, I have unfortunately been forced to reach the conclusion that I will not get a fair hearing from this Labour leadership.

Dear @BBCNews. I am very concerned that you keep presenting people who are affected by waiting lists as victims of the strikers rather than the government

If a man murdered a woman, would they say “it was a one-off.”
