Together with other Mayors, I’m initiating legal action against the train operators and their 21-day “consultation” on ticket office closures. We’ll explain more tomorrow about why we believe we have a strong case to get the current process stopped. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/i…

Murders like this mark the endpoint to a sustained period of coercive control that drastically escalates once a woman flees the abusive partner. They are sadly so predictable. Headlines like this insult the woman, her family & our national domestic homicide prevention efforts.

Thank you @Your_Colchester for cleaning up that awful racist graffiti on our beautiful Hilly Fields so quickly. Really pleased to see @EssexPoliceUK taking it very seriously. So saddened to see this disgusting behaviour.

Rishi Sunak's wealth is so vast that it would take someone on the average UK salary over TWENTY-FOUR THOUSAND YEARS to earn that much. Remember that when he's talking about "difficult decisions". He doen't mean difficult for him. He means difficult for you.
