Green Party leaflets ignored by residents in Caledonian Ward. Now placed in the recycle bins. The Green Party evidently thinks that more leaflets = more votes. It doesn't. This is an error the Lib Dems made in previous times here in Islington.
When you say "one in five 2025 Labour voters" do you mean GE 2024?
Man City GD is minus 3 surely?
The 2026 Cally Festival is all set for 5th July
The Cally Festival will be on Sunday 5th July from noon to 6pm. It's the biggest street festival in Islington. Each year we close the road and put on an event that showcases the best of Cally: live music on 3 stages, childrens' activities, dance,…
Today I read a leaflet in my ward (Caledonian) saying that, in 2022, the Green Party came in "clear second" place. Not exactly. They got 14% of the vote. Two percentage points ahead of the Conservatives. Sometimes truth really dies at election time.
The President of the United States of America. A demented fool. A dangerous one.
Wireless Festival is cancelled after the government stops headline act Kanye West entering UK. Also good news for the thousands of Islington, Hackney and Haringey residents who live near to Finsbury Park.
Many people support prison reform and think that some custodial sentences are disproportionate. I am one of them. But “no prisons” is kinda utopian. Also dangerous.
The reason “not ready to have children” covers quite a lot of other reasons some of which could be semi-financial like housing tenure and other quasi financial reasons
The US President is a deranged and dangerous fool.
This is the sort of weird conspiracy theory stuff that permeates fringe political parties: prominent Green Party candidate says the suspects arrested for the Hatzola ambulance arson attack in Golders Green were "white, probably even Jewish" www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...
Republicans lost a by-election for the Florida legislature yesterday. The district includes Trump's own Mar A Lago resort. Democrat Emily Gregory flipped the seat. Trump voted by post. I thought he opposes mail-in voting. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Denmark's Social Democrats remain the largest party group Danish parliament but "had its worst general election since 1903". Maybe Labour should not try copying some of their more controversial policies? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Cally hero, Mana Abbas, recognised at Islington’s civic awards
Islington's annual civic awards ceremony on Monday evening, 23rd March, included recognition of a true Cally Hero, Mana Abbas. Eight awards were given by the Mayor of Islington, Cllr Jason Jackson, to residents whose community work…
Trump blinked. He's a hopeless negotiator.
Islington Council Leader’s statement on yesterday’s anti-Jewish arson attack in Golders Green. Police in Islington are now operating closely with our Parkguard service to deliver regular patrols around the Chabad Lubavitch Synagogue and community centre. www.islington.media/news/islingt...
Trump's response: "I'm glad he's dead". Every day Trump sinks lower.
I have no doubt that Trump is a dangerous and stupid man. And the economic effects of his insane war are becoming widely understood. Here's how my invested ISA has crashed. Now it's got personal.
Trump calls his war on Iran a "Military Operation". Is it a "special military operation"? www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cx...
The voters that Blue Labour yearns to win over are long gone. Sadly, in my view. But we incrementally lost them to the Tories over many decades and very few are coming back.
Maybe change the name? The word "Credit" is odd. It almost implies the benefit is a loan not a social security entitlement. I have met (mainly young) people who think it's similar to a student loan.
This morning we raised the flag of Ireland over Islington Town Hall. Irish roots run deep in our Borough. Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh.
A bunch of tax avoidance “expats” will be returning to the UK. Oh dear, never mind.
Aye right. Maybe Churchill with a background tableaux of Black and Tans.
"One day, son, this war will be over."
Negotiating with Starmer to keep Farage out of power: Nah.
Negotiating with Vladmir Putin: Sure thing.
Also Zack Polanski: Starmer shouldn't negotiate with Trump, he isn't to be trusted!
"Friends of Mr Mandelson" I would guess. Very close friends. So close you can hardly tell the difference between "them" and him.
