EXCLUSIVE: Tory councillor abused store staff and threatens to shut the shop over parcel dispute - Better Retailing A Conservative councillor has been urged to step down, after threatening to shut down a retailer’s shop and physically abusing staff

Deputy Leader of Camden Tories Shiva Tiwari’s abusive behaviour towards shop staff — in a business in his own ward — is appalling & wholly unacceptable.

This falls far below the standards expected of any Camden Cllr.

Shiva must resign & the whip must immediately be removed.

Seen in Soho. Pubs doing dynamic pricing and charging at peak hours. Hopefully not a trend that catches on elsewhere.

Christmas Day has no rules. Other than Bailey’s

Whatever people want really. Do people really get annoyed on stuff like this?

Watching @netflix.com Black Doves. Pretty convinced that this scene was shot on Bidborough Street next to the back of the Camden Centre. Did anyone see them filming?

How about read it?

Burn!

But he stole bread Sam!

Love the modern Christmas tree in Granary Square. Looking very festive in N1C

Have you been? It’s incredible

Abba Voyage gives £1.4bn economic boost - and may stay in London 'forever' Executive producer Michael Bolingbroke said the Swedish pop group ‘chose the UK when they could have gone anywhere else’

ABBA Voyage is proving to be more than just a show—it's an economic powerhouse, bringing millions to Stratford and boosting jobs. A shining example of how our support for culture and creativity drives growth across London.

I was howling with laughter

@deborahmeaden.bsky.social watching Murder in Successville. Absolutely incredible performance from you and Tom. If I could throw flowers I would! ❤️

THE classic!

Planning reforms will end development chaos, says Angela Rayner Officials will be able to rubberstamp development plans without local authority permission under the changes.

Quick thread on the biggest planning reform the Government has announced so far. Removing councillor vetoes from projects that already comply with the local plan is a big step towards a more rules-based and certain system, and so higher supply and cheaper housing. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Black and pink graphic design with images of fireworks in the background. Bold text in the centre reads: “London’s NYE Celebrations, tickets for the fireworks are now sold out, do not fall for scams.”

Beware of ticket scams this NYE.

Tickets for London’s NYE Firework display are sold out—be cautious of anyone claiming to sell tickets outside official Ticketmaster resales.

Ticket holders must show ID to enter the event.

Went to see Dr Strangelove at the Noel Coward Theatre tonight. Great cast and production. A little faithful to the 1964 Kubrick film but still great viewing.

On a Thursday? You’re peaking too early
