"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.

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!
