Constantly inspired by the @StAntsE7 choir who sang @The_Globe this morning along with a performance produced by @Rae_Griffiths highlighting the new £13.85 #londonlivingwage rate & in @howarddawber words our campaign to “ensure London’s growth isn’t built off of exploitation”

Not all heroes wear capes. Some use trowels.
Spare a thought for Tony Hill who has been working at break neck speed in blazing hot sun to rebuild the Southport mosque wall before the far right can return. He said: “And if we have to build it again afterwards we will do just that.”

Don't want to be too boastful, but by this point in 2012, we'd had a funky Industrial Revolution, chucked the Queen out of a helicopter, rained down a thousand Mary Poppins and soundtracked it all with Fuck Buttons and The Beatles #olympics

Is anyone else tired and emotional today? The relief, the daring to dip a toe into the water of hope…Rwanda scheme scrapped - and then Andy Murray…the football…it all feels very tender 🥺

This is fantastic news! The unlawful, unworkable, and unethical Rwanda scheme has been scrapped.
