Wembley Boxpark, yesterday. If this is safe, choir is also safe. If neither is safe, neither should happen. It just needs to be the same rules for everyone.

Catch-up funding per pupil: 🇳🇱 £2,500 🇺🇸 £1,600 🇬🇧 £50 Oh, and the National Tutoring Programme will be run by an international outsourcing company so those £ will disappear into the pockets of the shareholders of Randstad instead of helping our kids catch up with lost learning.

Fun fact: residents in the "affordable" flats in these blocks are not allowed to use the Sky Pool, even if they pay. They just have to watch the rich people from their windows. Also the "affordable" flats still cost about 750k.
Swimmers enjoy warm weather in London at the Sky Pool which is believed to be the world’s first transparent pool built between two skyscrapers bbc.in/3fUKLp4

If the Australia trade deal is as advertised then UK farmers become the latest victims of the Brexit lies and fantasies, and would be wise to learn from the French about how to react. Sector by sector, value by value, this bunch of charlatans are destroying Britain

LONDON: reports show that voter turnout is low across our city. If you love London & what we stand for, please come out and vote for it. We had a Tory mayor just five years ago - if you don’t vote, they could win again. Already voted? Please RT and ask friends to #VoteLabour.

Came across an example of mass AstroTurfing yesterday, so I thought I'd look at estate agent websites to see what the garden once looked like. We are really gifted at self-destruction, aren't we?

It’s quite an admission that avoiding serious damage to the music industry and our (multi-billion pounds generating, world leading) arts and culture sectors is ‘not consistent with Brexit’.

I'll clarify as some have complained this is misleading. In April MPs were allowed to claim up to an extra £10k in office equipment expenses in order to allow them and their staff to carry on doing their jobs from home. Not every MP claimed the full amount. Teachers get nothing

So, to be clear, we just sent 3 million children into primary school FOR ONE DAY, so they could all mix around the virus, and *then* go into lockdown? That's what's actually just happened, right? My brain isn't making this up?

What did Johnson say about Erasmus in January? "The hon. Gentleman is talking through the back of his neck. There is no threat to the Erasmus scheme, and we will continue to participate in it. UK students will continue to be able to enjoy the benefits of exchanges ..."
