"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."

Lewisham has a new Green Mayor, Liam Shrivastava

"Almost exactly a year ago (25 June 2025), facing disciplinary action over his criticism of Labour’s stance on Gaza and welfare benefits, Shrivastava defected to the Greens."

That Genocide has been a defining event in Western Politics. Perhaps it was the point where decent people in the West thought "Fuck this" and rejected the Old World.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:

Mudchute DLR station was rebuilt and relocated in the late 1990s as part of the #Lewisham extension. The project involved realigning the railway and lowering the tracks from a viaduct to ground level before entering the tunnel beneath the River #Thames.

Platform 3 was added in the late 2000s on land created by the earlier track realignment. It serves as an operational siding and turnback facility, allowing faulty trains to be removed from service without disrupting the wider network. It can also be used to reverse southbound trains during service disruption, helping to maintain services elsewhere.

The platform supports alternative operating arrangements, including the potential for some trains to terminate at Mudchute. While it is not used in the standard timetable, it is occasionally used during special service patterns and partial network closures.

Hit me up, #urbanism #cycling, #liveableCities, #walking, #planning people - what are the best books I should read in my new role as #Lewisham executive member for #Environment, #Nature, #Transport & #Climate Action

Things in the vein of Charles Montgomery's Happy City or Janette Sadik-Khan's Street Fight

With two southeast #London boroughs voting to cut traditional ties with #Labour, @goldsmithsuol @mediacomgold #journalism students assess the big shake-up to the system in #Lewisham and #Hackney & why it’s status quo still in #TowerHamlets and #Croydon https://thegoldstandard1.substack.com/

Another announcement: I have been elected to represent the people of #Sydenham ward on #Lewisham council as a #GreenParty councillor.

My thanks to the people who’ve put their trust in me & my fellow councillors. We’ll work our hardest to make a difference.

Lewisham is now Green.
Moved from 54/54 Labour councilors to 40/54 Green councilors.

Honestly feels weird that I’ve spent all day having dozens of doorstep conversations with residents about what we as #GreenParty councillors can do to improve things like community spirit, local bus services & waste collection, and then I go online & the dominant discourse is antisemitism. Bit of a disconnect.

"The #Labour government has failed our community through continued austerity, welfare cuts affecting disabled people, and its complicity on the genocide in Gaza.

"There is another way - the #Greens have a plan to address structural inequality, to build local homes with local jobs, to deliver a genuinely caring economy. And only the Greens will challenge the national government, and advocate for a fairer, greener country for everyone."

I recall Farage dropping hints that somebody from Labour might defect to ReformUK, like they do to the Greens pretty much every week now....

Bit of an announcement: I am standing for election to #Lewisham Council in #LondonUK this May for the #GreenParty in the ward of #Sydenham

I've changed my bio to include an imprint which is required by UK electoral law.

I'll still be posting about music and cycling as well as election-related stuff but got to be compliant!

I just made a donation towards the #GreenParty Crowdfunder to elect a Mayor of #Lewisham in the May 2026 local elections

Councillor cleared of promoting controversial church

Also, let’s talk about those books.
A book on etiquette, a book on ‘accent reduction’, and a book on teaching manners to children.

Actually, on second thought, let’s not.

#SiamaQadar #YouAndWhoseMoney #Tories #Lewisham #DailyHate #ukpolitics #lbl #localelections

Now about that ‘international author claim. Let’s see what #SiamaQadar has written, shall we?

Oh.

Dr Qadar has written three books with a total of 3 ratings on Goodreads.

Now, I'm not going to dis someone for being an indie author. You know, because I am one.

But if I had 3 books with a grand total of 3 ratings … I'm not sure I'd be drawing attention to that in my campaign leaflet, you know?

#YouAndWhoseMoney #Tories #Lewisham #DailyHate #ukpolitics #lbl #localelections

If you think a local mayor for a single inner London borough can implement these policies without funding, you're more deluded than I was that time I spent a week being pumped full of morphine and thought the bathroom door was talking to me.

#YouAndWhoseMoney #SiamaQadar #Tories #Lewisham #DailyHate #ukpolitics #lbl #localelections

And now, let's zero in on a couple of the other pledges.

Siama wants to build more social/affordable homes and combat crime. Two very worthy goals.

But…

Spoiler alert: This is going to be a recurring theme in this review. I like to call it, Oh yeah? #YouAndWhoseMoney? These are nice policies. But the only way a local mayor can implement them is with cash from the central government.

#SiamaQadar #Tories #Lewisham #DailyHate #ukpolitics #lbl #localelections

Let’s start with this little snippet right here.

'Reviewing … the effectiveness of universal 20mph roads to alleviate traffic congestion.'

Sounds pretty banal. Except… Is she for 20mph limits or against them?

#WeaselWords #SiamaQadar #Tories #Lewisham #DailyHate #ukpolitics #lbl #localelections

First up, #SiamaQadar for the #Tories.

Honestly… As Tory manifestos go, this is pretty inoffensive stuff. She’s local. She’s against crime and for affordable housing. She’s an international author … whatever the hell that means.

I dunno. What do you think? Should I dig a bit deeper?

#Lewisham #DailyHate #ukpolitics #lbl #localelections

All right. Let’s dive into the 2024 candidates and their manifestos. I’ll list them in the order they appear in the booklet.

#Lewisham #DailyHate #ukpolitics #lbl #localelections

Love this from the Christian People's Alliance website:
Ms Martin was 'discriminated against for daring to follow the teachings of Christ'.

You know, Jesus, who was famous for declaring that we should all hate our neighbour as we hate ourselves.

That's what he said, right? I'm not misremembering that, am I?

#MaureenMartin #Lewisham #DailyHate #ukpolitics #lbl #localelections

So, like, she thought she could ban equal marriage in one random London borough?

Following the furore, Ms Martin’s employer had a little look see at her Twitter feed, where she was found sharing anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric, and promptly sacked her for ‘FAILING TO INFORM THEM OF HER INTENTION TO STAND FOR OFFICE’.

Anyways, that was 2022. Let’s see what this year brings.

#MaureenMartin #Lewisham #DailyHate #ukpolitics #lbl #localelections

So, first off, the tweet that caught the attention of the fash. I shared a photo of #MaureenMartin’s actual campaign leaflet, which stated that she would:
'cut through political correctness and state the truth that natural marriage between a man and a woman is the fundamental building block for a successful society, and the safest environment for raising children'.

I’m doing this between work meetings, so bear with me.

Way back in the dawn of time (2022), we had a local election in the London Borough of #Lewisham. I took to Twitter (which was the fashion at the time), to pillory the candidates. My tweets caused a bit of a ruckus. Ultimately, they got me name checked by the #DailyHate and a bunch of far-right websites.

Anyways, guess what time it is! That's right it's Lewisham mayoral election time! And that means I've read the manifestos so you don't have to.

Lewisham is a Farage-free zone.
