@TomBloxhamMBE Another great project! I’ve long been a fan of Urban Splash. Having just moved to wonderful Hastings , we could go with some of your vision here!

Flats, aquarium and lido: Swansea’s Civic Centre plans move closer as cabinet gives green light - Swansea Council’s cabinet has approved further work to develop the detail of a planning application for the seafront building, which is expected to be submitted later this year. The council’s regeneration partners Urban Splash are leading the project. Their proposals — which drew large crowds when they went on public display in January — would see the ground and lower ground floors converted into 15 commercial units including cafes, bars and shops, with around 140 apartments on the upper floors. The plans also include a new aquarium and a saltwater lido on the site, which sits on the seafront between the Swansea Arena and the bay. wp.me/pcyZ3q-ujF via @swanseabaynews

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

🚨BREAKING: The "Board of Peace" launches its first war....

Elections should represent what people want and need, not those with the loudest voices or deepest pockets. A National Commission is how we'll get the change we need. Could you add your name? open-britain.co.uk/ncer

Former president of Ireland and member of the Elders - a group of global leaders working for human rights - Mary Robinson has said that the US' proposed Board of Peace is not a board of peace, it is "the board of the power of one person" rte.ie/news/2026/0126…

The most suppressed account on this platform is the candidate that is about to unseat Russian-backed kleptocrat Victor Orban. Although polling 12 points above Putin's puppet party, on this platform Magyar needs your follows.

Spread this far and wide

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured. Trump then pardoned the attackers. He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists. It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not. Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on. Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…

This is big: Spain, Ireland and the Netherlands have all pulled out of Eurovision, because Israel have been allowed to enter. We need the BBC to do the same to up the pressure on the competition's bosses. Sign the petition calling for a UK boycott now: 38d.gs/eurovision_bbc…

@CPTriangulation @cpneighbours @cplocal And Palace somethingorother is taking shape on Westow street.

@cpneighbours @cplocal New Gail's and champagne +Fromage coming along nicely #SE19

@CPTriangulation @cpneighbours @cplocal Very sad, however, from what I hear the lease has been reassigned so something else should be replacing it soon.

@cpneighbours @cplocal Sad to see yet another long standing shop on the triangle . Starting to look a bit desolate the middle stretch of Westow St with around half a dozen empty shops #SE19

This is big: Michelle Mone is being forced to pay back £122m after supplying poor quality protective gear to our NHS during the pandemic. But she STILL hasn't been kicked out of the House of Lords. Mone has to go. Agree? Sign the petition today: 38d.gs/qhjk

@smithjamesandy Think we made the same mistake today 🤣

If you don't think it's democratic that 33.7% of votes should give a party nearly 64% of the seats in Parliament, then please, sign and share as much as you can. Currently, your vote can be wasted, it can be ignored. Get your voice heard. Equality for all. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7280…

Imagine FDR receiving Adolf Hitler for a friendly summit in Alaska in late 1940, while German planes bombed London in the Blitz, and then holding a joint press conference in front of a US-designed backdrop saying ‘Pursuing Peace’. open.substack.com/pub/timothygar…
