You don't have to choose between being kind and being effective. That framing tends to be used by those who are neither.

This is @Tesco Ollerton. At the beginning of the week diesel was 150p, hiked up from the previous week. At lunchtime today it was 154p. This afternoon 156.9p. Its just one of many. So all power to @RachelReevesMP to stop this blatant profiteering.

π§΅Less than 12 months after opening, Yorks cafe closed its 100-seater Paradise development branch.
A sign in the window read: "Dear Customers. We are having to close while we resolve a few issues. More announcements to follow."
No announcement followed.

Great news for London: myself and the other Mayors will be watching closely. Supporting the night-time economy is rightly expected of Mayors, and flexibilities like this can help us test new approaches. So bring it on!

Fantastic news for London!
This significant decision on licensing powers will allow us to do more to support the capitalβs pubs, clubs, music venues and other parts of the visitor and tourist scene.Β

We are so lucky to have beautiful historic buildings across the East Midlands but they are costly to run and preserve. So today I visited the public engagement at Matlock County Hall on the plans for Smedley's Hydro. @Derbyshirecc @EastMidsCCA @MayorEastMids

Today we commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day and remember all those who lost their lives. We also mark 80 years to the day since the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration and death camp.

The highlight of my first six months as an MP has been meeting so many inspirational people quietly changing lives in Queens Park & Maida Vale.
Between now and the end of the year I wanted to take the opportunity to celebrate some of those amazing people & organisations

Sudo kids born before independence and who are named Taban (means tired/exhausted in Arabic) will always make me tear up. My people took their pain and made it their greatest joy. Heβs so talented. I wish him all the joy and success. π©·

This is kind of an unformed theory (perfect time to share it lol) but I think some of the controversy over movie theater behavior lately may stem from the fact that people don't consider identify as audience members anymore. Everyone is a "creator" who happens to be in a crowd.

A genuinely really good move from @RichParkerLab. To get people out of their cars you have to make public transport more attractive. This does that, at a time of year when the roads are clogged usually, in the bucket load. π
