Residents of Garden Court in Kew have been issued Section 21 eviction notices by their landlord, with @CityWestminster Council set to purchase the properties. The Leader of the Council, Cllr @Gareth_Roberts_ has expressed deep alarm at the situation. (1/3)

It was good to look around the riverside site today with colleagues - really good progress is being made on a fabulous new heart for Twickenham.

We've won again!   You've probably already heard the news. £14bn for Sizewell C, meaning that plant - a zero-carbon copy of Hinkley Point C - gets to go ahead. And billions more for Rolls-Royce, so that great British company can move ahead with its SMR programme.   We're not quite celebrating just yet - the so-called 'final investment decision' is set to be announced next month at an Anglo-French summit. We won't stop campaigning until the ink is dry on that agreement. We've waited too long already: the previous Tory government kept promising and did nothing.   "No more dithering, no more delay," said the Prime Minister today - echoing nearly exactly the words of a petition we recently sent to energy secretary @Ed_Miliband demanding that the Government gets a move on with new nuclear build. Rolls-Royce will get the go-ahead for three of its SMRs, according to the company.

Really good event today at York House to reaffirm the twinning relationship between Richmond, Konstanz, and Fontainebleau.

If you want to know the truth about Elon Musk, British journalist Ian Hislop nails him. I refuse to entertain anyone's delusions about Elon Musk that he cares about or is working to help anyone other than himself.

This is really positive video on sustainable transport options, and how we're supporting people locally in getting around in new ways.

This dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric is further proof that the UK can’t rely on the Trump administration. It’s in our national interest to rebuild trade and security ties with our allies in Europe.

There's absolutely zero sense in listening to, reading about, or citing Putin's annual live delirium show on Russian TV during which the entire galaxy's average IQ drops significantly. Even the chatter of woodpeckers in the forest has more meaning than three hours of Putin's brainless bravado and self-admiration that has nothing to do with the time-space continuum the world lives in.

The richest man in the world just commanded Congress to shut down the government and now nobody serving in the US military will be paid for the next two months (if not longer). America is pretty insane at the moment.

Fantastic news! The lifespan of 4 nuclear power plants in Britain will extended 🇬🇧 bbc.com/news/articles/…

Absolutely disgusted to see criminal damage to a camera on Hill View Road in St Margarets. This is a camera affording long-standing protection to residents incl. from displaced traffic from A316. The Council will make the safe, reinstate & press for prosecution of culprits.

🇫🇷 FRANCE: 56g CO2/kWh 🟢 using 76% Nuclear, 9% Hydro and 8% Gas. 🇩🇪 GERMANY: 647g CO2/kWh 🔴 using 45% Coal, 22% Gas and 15% Biomass. Provided by @ElectricityMaps, data is about live consumption for the past hour as of 10/11/24 02:57 Berlin's time.

Great victory for German ecologists. In just 6 days (from 11/2 to 11/7), German electricity emitted as much CO₂ as all domestic flights in France do in 365 days. ‘Don’t fly to save the planet,’ they said…”
