It shouldn’t take a visit to an asylum hotel by me as Shadow Home Secretary to shame the Government into action. Illegal working by asylum seekers - most of whom also entered the country illegally - is happening from the very hotels Yvette Cooper is using our money to run. The Government could easily stop it. I saw Deliveroo and other bikes parked in the hotel’s own compound - yet all the security guard cared about was me filming. The delivery company’s claims to be policing this are laughable. They are making money from illegal immigrants working on their platforms and are taking no meaningful steps to stop it. The Government should fine and prosecute them. This is a very serious issue because illegal working is a pull factor for illegal immigration into the UK - people smugglers actually advertise it. And it endangers women and girls as deliveries are made to their homes by unidentified recent illegal immigrants, often from nationalities we know have very high rates of sex offending.

🚨 NEW: Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has ordered a nationwide immigration enforcement crackdown on illegal working in delivery apps It comes after Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp filmed asylum seekers allegedly delivering for Uber Eats and Just Eat from a hotel

The @MayorofLondon says that those bus stops that comply with @TfL guidance are usable by blind people. This one here in the heart of the City of London does comply, but is clearly unusable for blind people. Retweet to support blind people’s. Access needs:

Illegal Channel crossings are up 31% since Labour took office The first three months of this year are the worst on record The Govt are catastrophically out of step with other countries, who are looking to implement their own removals deterrents, while Labour cancelled ours

Also @FloEshalomi has constituents being evicted by @lambeth_council for unaffordable energy charge rises 353% in 2023. So far no support/empathy from chair of housing scrutiny. How many of the families in the photos will have a social home in 2029?

@FloEshalomi @EFALondon @DavidAmosSE11 @MrLDaley @DrJacquiDyerMBE @kennington Ah Ok. No statement on the welfare cuts. Only tweets on other subjects. And re-tweets from the govt so you don't get lots of replies criticising you for supporting the cuts. Got it.

In the space of 1 minutes video about 5 offences are committed: Not stopping at a Zebra, cycling on the pavement & using a scooter on the pavement. Maybe due care & reckless cycling. Probably an illegally adapted e-cycle. @@MayorofLondon and DfT continue to promote these stops

Routing cycle lanes through the pavement at bus stops has to stop. Floating bus stops are not safe or accessible for blind people. Access has to be from the kerbside, direct from the pavement without having to cross a cycle lane first. This is at Elephant & Castle in London.

Cyclists in Chiswick High Road, with its 'floating' bus stops, seem to behave in the same way. Let's continue these discussions on Bluesky if Vincent and others want to transfer.

Unlike schemes in narrow roads like Chiswick where cycle lanes result in a single traffic lane there is space in Streatham Hill for vehicles to pass stationary buses. However, it will still be dangerous for disabled people and those with limited sight to cross the cycle lanes.
London Cycling Campaign@London_Cycling

Good news, everyone! Construction is set to begin this summer on the long awaited Streatham Hill changes which will include protected cycle lanes, new pedestrian crossings and improvements to bus lanes. tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media…

Highrise development may focus on the number of floors, but the real litmus test for success is at street level. How do we prevent developments giving way to empty shop frontage in new highrises, asks @NeilGarratt:
