Fantastic news that we are getting this much needed funding in our community and was really interesting hearing different ideas on how to spend it. Exciting times ahead!

The Jewish community is our community - in London, people of all faiths and none should be able to live peacefully alongside each other. I was humbled to visit Hatzola ambulance service today. We stand together against antisemitic hatred - we’ll always reject those who seek to divide us.

Hi Connor, I’d like to invite you to come down to my area of Croydon (where I’ve always lived and am standing in the local elections) where we’ve just got £20m funding through pride in place. I’ll give you a tour - and it’ll be more useful than sweeping statements on Twitter. 😁

Pride in Place, fundamentally, should be about investing in those places at the sharp end of regional inequality and where opportunities and aspiration is at it's lowest. It is unacceptable to see that investment being diverted into London and the South East.

@connor_naismith Why shouldn't poor and deprived areas in London and the South get their share of this funding? It should be allocated according to need, not stereotypes in the Westminster bubble

Exc: Pride in Place - fund giving £20 million each to selected neighbourhoods of around 10k people - quietly moves away from only looking at how deprived a place is Now areas have to score badly on "cohesiveness" too. The main beneficiary: London, just ahead of local elections

Katie’s right. This is absolutely mad. Guess who created this mess? The Conservatives. Guess which Government has just passed emergency legislation to clean up this mess: Labour. Don’t worry, Katie. Lots done, lots more to do.
Katie Lam@Katie_Lam_MP

Doctors trained overseas are 2.5 times more likely to be referred to the medical regulator for malpractice. It's totally insane that the NHS is prioritising overseas doctors over our most talented medical graduates. It's a terrible deal for doctors and patients alike.

If we rebuilt it this would instantly become one of the most iconic tourist sites in the country. Imagine each building turned into a mixture of restaurants and pubs, branches of the museum of London, the British Museum and the V&A, with some government entertaining spaces.

This is one of the worst downgrades of all time Old London Bridge was a medieval stone structure that stood for over 600 years and was once considered a wonder of the world. It was 926 feet long and filled with houses and shops, making it the longest inhabited bridge in Europe

@thomasbowell You talk about 'over engineered' but part of that was due to the Bucks Nimbys wanting more tunnels to remove the visual intrusion on the countryside? Been a piss-poor managed project from day one.

@JerryTaylor For an EU lover I’d have thought you’d be in favour of doing things the way their member states do with HSR (in this case sensibly)

Sadiq Khan marches in Pride Parades, calls Chanukah in the Square one of the main highlights of his year, and increased funding for Jewish schools to keep providing free Kosher meals. Criticising his record is one thing, peddling myths about him being an Islamist is pathetic
John Cleese@JohnCleese

Sorry to have to say this... The British do not like the kind of diversity that intends to take over Britain and kill any infidel that does not convert to Islam Is that hard to understand, silly little man ?

One thing is clear at the end of a dark day for our country: @Hatzola’s ambulance service will come back bigger and stronger thanks to the strong public response we’ve seen today. Well done to the volunteers for their heroic response today. We will not let antisemites win.

@IanARobinson Sadly I certainly do remember Kemi’s Tory party doing just that in government like their shocking deals with their own peer Michelle Mone

@thomasbowell I remember when you took a lot of taxpayers money put it into a VIP lane and gave it to your members and friends for deficient PPE which led to unnecessary deaths - do you remember that ?

Let’s not forget that every step of the way in this war, when Trump & Netanyahu say “jump” Kemi has said “how high?” - thank goodness our PM had some backbone! Every-time you fill up at the pumps at the moment, you are paying a Kemi premium - she’s got more front than Harrods.

'If he's creating a support package, that's going to be done with taxpayers' money' Kemi Badenoch was critical of Starmer's plans to address rising energy bills ahead of his chairing of a Cobra meeting on Monday 'I'm very concerned that everything they touch they make worse'

This is a cowardly attack on the Jewish community. I am in close contact with the police who are stepping up patrols in the area, and I urge anyone with information to come forward. Londoners will never be cowed by this kind of hatred and intimidation.
Barnet MPS | North West BCU@MPSBarnet

We are investigating an antisemitic arson attack on Jewish ambulances in Golders Green. We know this will cause significant concern in the local community and are stepping up patrols and engaging with faith leaders. Read more here: mynewsdesk.com/uk/metpoliceuk…

Can you explain how you can attend a free speech festival in a country where apparently free speech is dead?

2/ After I visited the site and raised it directly with the council, action was finally taken. The waste has now been cleared, fencing installed, and the area fully boarded up and secured to prevent further dumping.
