Elon Musk is yet again inciting violence on the streets of Britain. He is deluded and dangerous. He needs to keep out of British Politics. RT if you agree!

Christiane Amanpour, "How do we allow 150,000 far right protestors who punch officers, broken noses, broken teeth, and concussions, spew hate speech?" Worse, why hasn't Keir Starmer said anything about our police being attacked by the far right?

Dear Cityzens, I want to be honest with you... the reason why I’m leaving is very simple: I still want to play football as often as possible, because that’s what I love the most. I’ll turn 35 soon, but I still feel very fit and I truly believe I can continue to perform at a high level for a Champions League team. And not just that – I now have the opportunity to join my childhood favourite club, in a country that means so much to me. Man City want a new beginning after an incredible era - something I can fully understand and respect. I will never, ever forget what this great club has done for me over so many years. Most of my time here was absolutely fantastic and incredibly successful. The club and the city of Manchester will always hold a very special place in my heart. I want to thank all my teammates, the chairman, everyone working behind the scenes, every fan – and of course Pep, who made this amazing time possible. I’m leaving City with great gratitude - Thank you – on behalf of my whole family 🩵

This September, Rory alongside 50 of his friends, family members and supporters, will be taking on the epic challenge of climbing Carrauntoohil, Ireland’s highest mountain. They hope to raise £50,000 to fund vital Parkinson’s research. We’d like to wish them all the best of luck.
Rory was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2020. He takes the drug Levodopa to help manage his symptoms. Daily life must be carefully timed around his medication. It changed his life, but it inspired him to get involved in research and fundraising to help others with the condition.

Last week, I and my SW London Lib Dem colleagues wrote to the Government about cuts to many police station counters across London. I will continue to press the Government to fully fund the Met Police and not lose this vital service. @theLDNstandard standard.co.uk/news/crime/me…

The Gvt is trying to rush through @HeathrowAirport proposals without answering crucial questions around the cost to the environment, people’s health & taxpayers’ pockets. I spoke to @BBCRadioLondon about why we need a better Heathrow, not a bigger one.

“There is no doubt in my mind that my Parkinson’s journey would be easier with a Parkinson’s nurse.” Parkinson’s nurses are a lifeline for the community. Almost two-thirds of the Parkinson’s nurses working today across the UK were initially funded by us.

Here we go AGAIN. I’m SICK of saying it, but I’ll say it again. Asylum seekers can’t claim benefits. You need an NI number to do that. Asylum seekers aren’t staying in 5* hotels. Asylum seekers get £49.18p a week to live on. Could YOU live on that? NOPE. So stop pretending they’re living it large.

My dad turned 74 on Thursday. He has serious COPD and can't walk very far without getting out of breath. He's watched City for over 65 years and it's one of the few things which still gets him out of the house. He gets a bus and a tram to games which then takes him a couple of hours to get home. The late kick-offs, the digitisation of tickets/cashless at the stadium, it had made it all so much harder. When he can't make it or doesn't want to, all he wants to do is let one of his grandkids go to the match with me instead? I just don't have the heart to tell him that if he doesn't make the majority of games in-person next season, he will lose his season ticket. It's such a trial for him as it is. I don't want to make him more inclined to just say he's had enough. So many Blues have their own set of circumstances and are having their loyalty questioned due to this ridiculous ruling by the Club to oversee their personal, physical attendance. My dad won't be around one day, surely the club can afford to wait a few more years to claw back the £350 a year he currently pays for his season ticket? City remains such a huge part of his life. I would urge the Club's Executive to please reconsider their new criteria and make it so/easier for season ticket holders to simply transfer tickets to friends and family. Thank you 💙

The @MakePollutersPay principle is a vital one in our efforts to tackle climate change. It's only fair that polluters like the big oil and gas giants help fix the damage they've caused.
