I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention. 22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk. Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.

.Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan we sincerely ask you to withdraw from Streatham Hill Scheme and re-design it please. These floating bus stops are not safe or accessible for blind people.

Coming to the new to be created Kennington Triangle #LTN soon. We're going to be flooded with even more pollution on #CottonGardensEstate soon. Not looking forward to it!

Tesfai worked all his adult life travelling independently by bus in London. He is in Parliament today because TfL are planning floating bus stops for Streatham that will exclude him and other blind people from their bus services. He wants government to ban these.

The only academics who write about LTNs are ruthless propagandists, benefiting their own streets at the expense of the less fortunate, who don’t have the same platforms. And this is the truth their hard work tries and fails to bury: Massive traffic displacement, forever.

#Lambeth have issued their draft accounts. A thread on the state they are in and why. The council overspent by £60.5M in last financial year. Only in February the council was forecasting the overspend as being £41.6M. How on earth did the lose nearly £20M in the space of a month?

Disappointing verdict in the 'Diddy' trial. theguardian.com/music/2025/jul… I wrote about why a woman might send loving texts to a man who was abusing her in this article, as this is regularly brought up in relation to this case: dremmakatz.substack.com/p/heres-why-a-…

Croxted Rd is a great example of the greenwashing happening. LTNs lauded as "clean air." Reality: "New data from the RCGP research and surveillance centre shows the rate of asthma attacks in 2025 has consistently been above the five-year average." theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

Gaza has run out of fuel. Reserves are gone. The last drops are being rationed to keep bare-minimum services alive. No fuel means no water, no food distribution, no health care, no telecoms — 2.1 million lives on the brink. This is no longer a logistical issue — it is life or

P Diddy beats a woman on CCTV and people still defend him. Beating a woman isn’t shocking anymore; domestic abuse is normalised, and she probably “deserved” it. This is misogyny in plain sight. Woman-hating has gone mainstream.

Ahead of the expected proscription of Palestine Action - the first time a protest group has been legally redefined as terrorist - I went through the Hansard of the 2000 Act they're being banned under. Turns out MPs were assured the law wouldn't be applied this way. Thread 🧵🔽

NOT true for walking cycling and scooting families without cars on Croxted road. Ask them. We are neighbours and yet you seem to know nothing of the significant difficulties we suffer. No one here ‘pro car’ all pro cycle lane and public transport. Heartbreaking to hear. 😞

Sorry Sadiq Khan. TfL report the bus stops on Westminster Bridge are fully compliant with their guidance. But blind people, the RNIB and Guide Dogs say there design are categorically NOT ACCESSIBLE for blind people. There are many injuries, often unreported.

As a regular London cyclist I always stop at these (terribly designed) crossings, but most don’t. Time they were ripped out.

‘TfL is not now rolling out shared use bus boarders at this point in time’ stated by Lead Sponsor of TfL Investment Planning Directorate who oversees delivery of cycling investment. This pause however should include all floating bus stops. 4th July outside Colliers Wood Station.

"Boarders" (step from bus directly into a cycle lane😖), are now paused. But it seems, "bypass" stops still full steam ahead in @tfl plans. Nb: #Streatham Hill A23 also has bi-directional 🚲lanes. Active Travel / "micro mobility" rules. The PUBLIC in Public Transport come 2nd😭

Tomorrow the self-styled Healthy Streets Scorecard will announce its annual award for the London borough which it argues has the healthiest streets. But don’t be conned. They do no research into transport & health. It is merely a tick-box exercise into areas chosen by them.
