So pleased that @IslingtonBC has decided permanently to reunite the two halves of Highbury Fields. It was always a big plus for park users and local residents, and the last year has underscored its importance. #UnderTheStreetsTheFields #ReuniteTheFields

@TfL @IslingtonBC @FieldsHighbury This stretch of road surface next to CZ Highbury Grove/ Aberdeen Park is awful. It makes boarding a bus at this stop very dangerous for anyone with reduced mobility, actually for anyone. Please resurface

Highbury and Islington is the one that breaks my heart the most.
The Sky study is fascinating and disturbing. It shows why took the decision to switch this account from Twitter to Bluesky and Instagram.

Born and raised in #AzraqRefugeeCamp, she spends her days playing with her best friend, her cat, “Soso.” 🐱
With a bright smile, she says:
“When I grow up, I’ll be a doctor and treat everyone, even Soso.” 🩺🐾

Thoughts only with the passengers, emergency services, and LNER colleagues involved in last night’s incident at Huntingdon on 1Y90. 🙏
(Please don’t speculate on social media, misinformation spreads rapidly, and can distort public understanding before the facts are confirmed.)

What are your plans this weekend?
Only two weeks left to see Marinella Senatore: Memory and Celebration! Come see it before it ends.

Further striking that there’s an immediate political pile-on and speculation about what’s happened, while the event is still live and without waiting for confirmation of the facts. This is much worse than previously on Twitter, and is shameful.
