BBC News - Scaffolding collapses on to road and traps man bbc.com/news/articles/… @BBCLondonNews

Apparently a van was trapped beneath the collapsed scaffolding, but thankfully the driver escaped unharmed. Had it not been the Easter holidays, it could have been far worse. The street is completely impassable - police have blocked access on both sides for vehicles + pedestrians

Stoke Newington Church Street closed in both directions after 7.45am scaffolding collapse from the Stoke Newington Library major building works. It closed in March 2024 for up to two years to repair the roof and fabric of the Grade 2 listed building #StokeNewington #N16incident

Stoke Newington Church Street is closed, following the collapse of the public library scaffolding earlier.

@Blond3bra1ny @MartinSLewis @NikkiLewis Thank you! I’ll set an alarm!

@sallyfreestone @MartinSLewis @NikkiLewis I phoned at 8am on the dot yesterday and only waited about 5minutes. I’d fill in the request callback form as a backstop. When I got through the 1st person told me you can only go back 6 yrs for class 2 & I had to insist that was wrong. The 2nd person was brilliant though.

@timsmithyorks @bbc5live UHER! 🥰

Happy 30th birthday ⁦@bbc5live⁩! 🎂🎉 Vividly remember reporting for you on day 1. I even had hair then! Great times. #5liveat30

(cont’d)… but also from Sumayya Si-Tayeb, the BSL signer. A great actor - and mover - herself, she added so much to the experience, enhancing the show for all, not just those with hearing loss. Catch it before the run ends on 26 Oct – you won’t regret it! @sumayya22

Saw the ‘relaxed’ matinee of Stoppard’s The Real Thing @OldVicTheatre today. It's a clever, witty, multilayered piece that keeps you on your toes - not just a play within a play but a play about TWO plays. Performances were outstanding, not just from the main ensemble (cont’d…)

@wellsab1 @rogermosey JUST what me and my lot said as we watched…

@rogermosey They should have treated it as pure Eurovision. Needed Norton or Wogan touch

We’re now seriously into “who on earth thought this was a good idea?” territory, but the commentators are ploughing through their official briefing notes regardless. #Paris2024

Thank you to Mayor of Hackney @carowoodley and Deputy Mayor of London for Environment & Energy @metecoban92 for judging the cake competition at the Oldfield Road street party! Your support helped raise funds for @NLAHn16 and @StokeyCatsnDogs.

@morwenw @junekelly1 @BBCNews @_PeterHunt @carolinealton Yes! That room was ‘full of love and respect’, and also laughter and tears. Emotional celebration of a dear colleague/friend, and a brilliant interrogative journalist who always just got on with her critical work with great professionalism and huge integrity 👏💪🫶🎤✍️📺📻👩‍💻

Said the fondest of farewells to one of our best colleagues @junekelly1 as she left @BBCNews last night. The room was full of love and respect from a brilliant bunch of people for a very fine journalist. Thank you June x

@bbc5live Happy 3️⃣0️⃣th. Just listened to a riveting extended @BowenBBC discussion with @TherealNihal. The space to fully explore complex issues… THAT happens on @bbc5live. #ProudToHaveBeenAtTheBirth of the station. Thanks for the memories. Keep up the brilliance📻🎤🗣️💪🙌.

It’s our 30th birthday! 🥳 To celebrate, we got some of our current lineup to react to our first ever broadcast in 1994 🎁🎉 #5LiveAt30

Thanks to the manager/team leader at @Pret Cavendish Square this afternoon, who kindly donated an unused/unclaimed @TooGoodToGo bag. Three hungry Londoners (on Oxford Street, at Oxford Circus, and at Highbury and Islington) were grateful and enjoyed the soups and macaroni cheese.

@lindseyhilsum @alittl An incredibly heartfelt, poignant tribute from @alittl to honour his cherished friend @smitf_london. That - and George's own words, penned for his own memorial - prompted me to express love and vulnerability with my own dear ones tonight. George still thinking of us and ours!

It was both uplifting and unmeasurably sad to attend George Alagiah’s memorial service at St Martin-in-the-fields today. “In his reporting there was always the outstretched hand of a shared humanity,” said Allan Little. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-673472…

@BBCRajiniV Beautifully, perfectly put @BBCRajiniV x

Former DGs, floor managers, producers, make up, presenters, editors, travel desk, reporters, camera crew, directors - many came to say bye to George Alagiah. His legacy in journalism is unrivalled, so too his kindness and humanity. Few could draw such a crowd. #GeorgeAlagiah.

@dhrutishah @MoneySavingExp Oh my word. This passed me by! Found the tips now: moneysavingexpert.com/family/flog-yo…

He showed how artmaking can be a powerful tool for recovery, communication, self-expression. Inspiring. And challenging… as we had to think about who gets to be ‘allowed’ to make and present artwork in institutions like the Barbican, and what constitutes a ‘proper artist’ 🎨🖼️🙌

Enjoyed a brilliant #differentlyvarious @HeadwayELondon workshop at @BarbicanCentre, led by #submittolovestudios artist Chris Miller. In his session “So You Think You Can’t Draw”, Chris explained how brain injury changed how he perceived the world and perceived himself.
