  1. "A coalition of leftwing councils has agreed to defy new rules around single-sex spaces on the grounds that they are “harmful to the rights of #trans people”. The leaders of six #London councils – #Hackney, #Haringey, #Lambeth, #Lewisham, #Southwark and #WalthamForest – have now said in a letter to women and equalities minister Bridget Phillipson that they will not enforce the policy."

  3. "The move followed the International Court of Justice’s findings that it was “plausible” Israel’s acts could amount to genocide, and that its continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territory was unlawful."

  5. Midnight hunt for a ghost in the graveyard of St John's Church in #Hackney, London. Reported on August 26, 1895 - but I'm not sure of the publication. I'm sure a great time was had by all (except perhaps the ghost!)

  7. Bohemia Place in Hackney has reopened, and whilst it's looking quite swish, most of the units are still empty. Given they're managed by The Arch Company, which is owned by Blackstone, I fear that only businesses with deep pockets will survive there. #Hackney #London

  9. “We are continuing to speak with these residents on a one-to-one basis to ensure that the process of moving home is as easy and smooth as it can be in all cases. The needs of the community are our top priority, and our focus is ensuring future phases deliver the new homes residents need.”

    Regeneration of inner city communities involves a careful balancing act.

  11. "On 7 May 2026 the #GreenParty won 42 of the 57 seats on #Hackney Council and, with Zoë Garbett’s victory in the parallel mayoral contest, took control of a borough that #Labour had governed almost without interruption since its creation in 1965. Labour, which had held 50 seats after the 2022 election, was reduced to nine."

  15. In this The Weakest Link episode contestants are representing each UK country and it’s like a parade of accents. Then the dad jokes come accordingly.

  17. "The #Greens campaigned on changing the system, and the most credible way to prove that is not to repaint the rulebook in their own colours but to make it harder for any future administration — including a future #Green one — to quietly narrow scrutiny when it suits them. Build the opposition’s speaking rights and the public’s right to petition into the constitution as protected features rather than gifts of the majority."

  19. "A new administration with a thumping majority will quickly discover that long meetings, awkward motions and persistent public questions are no more pleasant from the mayor's chair than they were from the opposition benches. The quiet rulebook #Labour built will feel useful. That is exactly the moment to remember how it felt to be on the other side of it."

  23. "Timing is everything. On the day #HelenGraham moved into a new flat in #Hackney she signed the deal on her #recipebook, #Centrepiece. On the day after she moved out she handed in the #manuscript.

    “You could say that Centrepiece was bookended by the flat, which was the perfect place to do all the #recipe testing because it had a huge island in the #kitchen,” she tells me via Zoom from her new flat, which doesn’t have the same space.

    Formerly executive #chef at famed #vegetarian #restaurant #Bubala, which opened in #Spitalfields in 2019, Helen, 38, had always wanted to write a recipe book. “After Bubala, I felt there was a gap in the market for a vegetarian entertaining #book."

  24. This morning I stumbled upon the Amhurst Road green corridor, a little bit of nature in the middle of bustling Hackney. Of course, I've already added it to #OpenStreetMap. :osm: Here are more details on the project: meristemdesign.co.uk/case-stud #Hackney #London
