  1. Some politicians and political commentators try to talk down and denigrate our capital. I wrote for @bylinetimes.bsky.social on why the false image they peddle is not the London I know and millions love:

    Sadiq Khan, the Labour Mayor of London, addresses the increasing number of claims by those in the media and politics of the capital city’s apparent decline

    ‘These People Can’t Stand What London Represents… It Makes a Mockery of their Entire Worldview’

  2. Powerful words by London Mayor Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk in Byline Times on claims of 'lawless London' 👇

    "These people can't stand what London represents... They believe a city as diverse & progressive as ours cannot be allowed to thrive. If it does, it makes a mockery of their entire worldview"

  3. Exclusive with @robevansgdn.bsky.social: Lord Dannatt twice wrote to Home Office ministers, at request of US defence firm he works for, urging them to crack down on Palestine Action.

    He asked ministers to address the “threat” posed by the group after its activists targeted a factory in 2022.

    Police officer was concerned ex-army chief, a Teledyne adviser, sought to have ‘input’ into factory attack investigation

  4. I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

    The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

    Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

  5. "Within two weeks you won't see a single migrant boat, they won't come," says Nigel Farage, on what he would do to stop small boat crossings.

    Make a note of that one

  6. If you can continue to have a career after the episode "bankrupted myself by bringing a libel case after it was successfully proved that I support the Nazis because I believe in fairies", then there surely there be no such thing as cancellation for right wing public intellectuals
