This looks nice doesn’t it. It’s a photo sent to me by a friend in Bethnal Green.
Well don’t get too excited about it, because this is just some of the infrastructure that the Mayor of Tower Hamlets, Lutfur Rahman wants to spend 2.5 million pounds ripping out. This would … 1/4
🚨 Help us raise £40,000! 🚨 We're legally challenging Lutfur Rahman's plan to spend £2.5 million on tearing up cycle lanes and pocket parks in Bethnal Green. 💔 Money that's better spent elsewhere! 🌳🚴♂️

When we're told we're a "nation of drivers", so many of us are excluded.
We need safe streets, accessible pavements, comprehensive cycle and mobility networks and high quality public transport in order to provide #MobilityJustice and #Equity to all.

Text reads: Over 35,000 people walking, wheeling and cycling were killed or injured by drivers in Great Britain in 2022. 43% of over-70s don't have a driving licence; 45% of Disabled 17-64 year olds don't have a driving licence; Almost 20% of people in the UK are children who cannot legally drive; 20% of households have no car or van. We all deserve safe streets and real choice about how we travel. Accessible walking, wheeling, cycling and public transport for everyone are essential.

When I was a medical student in Manchester I developed a devastating mental health condition triggered by the trauma of the Lebanon war, poverty, accommodation & food insecurity & being far removed from my loved ones. The symptoms were so severe I was forced to interrupt medical school. I was stigmatised & shunned & I lost all hope I’d ever recover & qualify. However, with specialist support from a Consultant psychiatrist I slowly got my life back on track, resumed medical school & graduated. I wanted to help patients with mental health conditions the same way the consultant psychiatrist helped me so I decided to specialise in psychiatry. Today is my first day as Consultant Psychiatrist. What an opportunity to serve society & to support the most vulnerable amongst us. I promise I’ll do everything I can to improve the lives of patients with mental health conditions. Special thanks to Prof @gedbyrne & @DrRZaman who saw me at my lowest all those years ago (way before I joined Twitter!) & who empowered me to recover & realise my potential. – at London, England

Today’s news: 19,000 people evacuated from fires on Island of Rhodes.
We have a climate emergency.
Politicians of all parties have to show leadership and tackle this crisis - it must be the top National and City Level priority. There is no planet B.

Uxbridge & ULEZ
1. ULEZ was initiated by Boris Johnson long before Sadiq Khan.
2. The Conservative government under Grant Shapps made expanding ULEZ a condition of providing financial support to TFL during covid.
3. The Conservative government have provided funds to cities such as Birmingham (with a Conservative mayor), but not to London (with a Labour mayor).
Clean air is good, we need more of it.
Underfunding from the Conservative government which has caused the ULEZ charge is the problem. - Billions given to bankers in tax cuts, billions wasted in PPE/covid fraud, billions wasted on refugee bargees.
We need a different and better government. A pity the people of Uxbridge voted for more of the same.

I think the biggest failing of the @Conservatives was the scrapping of Sure Start Children’s Centres. I remember the impact I had working in them for so long. Scrapping them ruined children and families life chances.
