Then and now photo showing how car parking and the roadway has been removed, now just a cycle route with tram tracks
Marnixstraat, Amsterdam in 1980 and today, cars have been removed from this road entirely, now only able to be used by those on tram, foot or on a bike.
❌NO DEAL❌
The Thames Water creditors have made a revised proposal to take over the crumbling utility. The terms?
🤮Upfront payments to dodge rules and regulations
🤮Funding conditional on future leniency
The creditors want to bribe the regulator and hold households to ransom.

No more illegal wars. Introduce a prevention of military intervention act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice.
The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war.
Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war.
The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.
Official stats say 360 people slept on the street in City of Westminster in autumn 2025, and 134 were counted in London Borough of Camden. #housing #homelessness #RoughSleeping #London
Good morning.
If you've just woken up, the politics of hope just crushed the politics of fear and hatred (Labour-Reform).
It wasn't even close.

It is not helped by the fact the London Cycling Campaign is supporting the pedestrianisation and the removal of cycling from Oxford Street. Las Ramblas allows cycling so does Times Square. At a time when WCC is building cycle lanes on Bayswater Rd it is an opportunity for a continuous route
And abruptly stop at Oxford Street, too!

Over 30 MPs have already signed Cat Eccles MP's parliamentary motion, calling for our NHS to be ringfenced from public finance.

😡This must be stopped!
Labour's 2024 manifesto promised our NHS would always be "publicly owned and publicly funded".
Now they are talking about reintroducing PFI into our NHS.
PFI would set a ticking time bomb under our NHS that will blow up in patients' faces - ACT NOW.
IMPORTANT 🧵
We've been seeing how RFK Jr & anti-vax lobby has been steadily and effectively reducing access to vaccines in the US.
But it could happen in UK too.
It's a threat worth considering given Malhotra's speech at Reform conf & big overlap between anti-vax and RW populsim.

But why has the JCVI downgraded Covid? The vaccine is no longer offered to most people. I’ll qualify for a flu jab but not a Covid booster? I’ll be paying to get my Covid jab. But many ppl can’t afford it.

🚨BREAKING: Rail fares could go up by 5.5%🚨
But they don't have to. There is a different way.
Delivering public ownership of our whole railway - not only train operators - would allow the government to cut fares for you.

If you still think privatised water works, you're probably either a water company shareholder or a government minister!
The public, campaigners, academics and trade unions all want public ownership.
It's time for The People's Plan for Water!

I presume the claimant is only against the “T” not the “L”. The Claimant describes herself as a lesbian who is “gender critical”, according to the judgement. Will the outcome affect the JR over the Bloomsbury crossings I wonder?
Today, MPs got a letter from Liz Kendall with the Government's panicked proposals for a two-tier disability benefits system, harsher and meaner to people who fall sick or disabled after Nov 2026. Not acceptable - Green MPs will vote against the Bill tomorrow #TakingThePIP #WelfareBill
