We are a Ramblers group specialising in shorter walks (3-7 miles) at a leisurely pace, all starting from a public transport point within TfL zones. All welcome!

25. I'd be grateful if my followers / contacts in the areas of journalism, capacity law and disability rights could please re-tweet.
[P.s if you've been in contact with me professionally over the past few weeks, this is the reason for my out of office. Thanks ❤️]

Tim Farron, "The unpleasantness about this debate is only matched by the lack of proper information" #BBCQT
"85% of refugees settle in the country next to where they come from"
"The French take 3x more refugees than we do"
"The Germans take 4x more refugees than we do"
"If you put us back in the European Union, we are 19th in the league table when it comes to the number of refugees we take per capita"
"Do we need deterrents? Yes. The best deterrents is competence. If we assess people when they arrive - and they are not illegal immigrants - they are people seeking asylum.. From Sudan.. Afghanistan.. Iran.. Syria.. 90%+ turn out to be genuine refugees"
"If we have a competent government, and we haven't had one, let's see about this one.. And you assess them quickly.. And return the ones that are not refugees"
"That is your deterrent"
"Rwanda was a waste of money.. If they spent that money on case workers we could have processed these people, returned the ones that weren't refugees in a humane way, and let th eones who are genuine refugees, become British, pay their taxes, be part of our country, and we should be proud to admit them"
Very well said @timfarron 👏

Nigel Farage, whose party won five seats in Parliament, received the third-highest amount of media coverage during the election.
Green leaders Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsey, whose party won four seats in Parliament, didn't even make the top 20...

Rishi Sunak belatedly admitted Frank Hester’s remarks that “I made him hate all black woman and should be shot” were racist. Now it turns out Sunak accepted a further £5 million from him. An insult to me and all black women.

Boris Johnson wrote this in the Daily Mail about Keir Starmer:
"He takes responsibility for everything that took place on his watch - except of course for the failure to prosecute the paedophile, necrophiliac and BBC superstar Jimmy Saville".
It seems Boris Johnson is still a massive liar but this is surely another new low for the Daily Mail. Shameful.

Rishi Sunak wants to ban Civil Servants wearing coloured lanyard to show off their political allegiances, an idea he got from Tory mayor for Tees Valley, Ben Houchen

Dear 7 million disabled people in the UK. Please register to vote and remember today. Rishi Sunak has just stood there at a podium and declared all out war on you if you vote him in again. 🙂 #RishiSunak #disabled

"Part workout regimen, part social club, ramblers groups combine two wellness truisms: Walking is good for you, & so is spending time with others"

A great piece in @NewyorktimesG about @innerlondonramb @londonstrollers and MetWalkers. Focused on the health benefits and community of walking in a big city.

And here they are 👇 the men and woman responsible for dumping 14,027,654 hours worth of sewage into the environment over the last 5 years and helping pollute every single river in the country.
Ladies and gentlemen I give you the board of @Ofwat.
"In the name of God, go".

I am sure that, in accordance with the ministerial code, Sunak will go to the House to correct the record at the earliest possible opportunity. Because he said he would usher in an era of professionalism, integrity and accountability and not just be a lying charlatan like Johnson

"One Thames Water overflow in leafy Surrey has been leaking sewage for six days straight."
Oh look @thameswater dumping sewage into the street, again.
No doubt they say 'sorry', again, and that'll make it all right.

Memo to the country from Prime Minister
“We must face down the extremists who would tear us apart…there must be leadership, not pandering or appeasement.”
Meanwhile the Party continues to pander and appease as hours later Truss and Anderson are guests at Tory fundraiser 🤦🏽♀️
Do as we say not as we do unfortunately seems to be the message on tackling extremism from PM

This beautiful place is Betteshanger Country Park. Home to Turtle Doves, Lizard Orchids and countless other rare species such as Fiery Clearwing moth. The future of this special place hangs in the balance as @DoverDC decides whether to allow a hotel and wave park to be built here

This is absolute nonsense Kemi and you know it.
I met you alongside other colleagues over a year and a half ago and the definition was explained to you in detail - you were asked to detail your concerns / any objections and the basis of it .
You DID NOT follow up.
Instead all work on Islamophobia ( or whatever you feel we are allowed to call our racism ) has stopped.
Ministers do not even engage with the governments OWN cross government working group on your preferred “anti Muslim hatred”
The government has dragged its heels on any work to tackle this form of racism.
The only structures and programs that still survive are what we put in place during a Cameron government over a decade ago.
Amazing flagship programs like Remembering Srebrenica have been defunded.
No new initiatives , no engagement with communities , no definition
Instead culture wars , othering and blatant anti Muslim racism.
As for “blasphemy laws” - you know this isn’t true , as was explained and evidenced in our meeting and as you are well aware the definition like the IHRA definition on antisemitism is a NON legally binding working definition not a “law”
PS- just so colleagues word sensibilities are not triggered - the World will in a few weeks mark the United Nations International day to combat #Islamophobia.
