. @BBCPM No-one can ‘explain the rules of cricket’. There are none. Cricket is played according to laws and special regulations.

⚠️ #UK Govt pls note that atrocities taking place in #Nigeria are grave! It's evident that our #international allys are focused on other conflicts, but there's a clear warning that many #Nigerians livelihoods are in grave danger if equitable solutions aren't put in place esp #CYP

. @IslingtonBC Tuesday’s rubbish collection from @ImperialHall was missed and so was today’s. We’re being told that there are ‘issues’. Would you elaborate please? Thanks. @ValerieABossman @Philgrahamaslef @RowChampion

Echoes of the Post Office in Sheffield Tree Scandal: a public authority misleads courts, who credulously accept what the authority tells them & grant injunctions to jail & bankrupt ordinary citizens desperately trying to do what is right & prevent unnecessary destruction of trees

“We’ve taken🤥great strides towards creating a cleaner, greener, healthier 🤥Islington through our people-friendly streets, School Streets, greening, and🤥 other improvements." said @RowChampion (Council Environment Chief) recently. "Really?" replied @EC1VOICES "that's nice."

Whether it’s the roundabout, incinerator orfootball pitches, the harm being done in Islington by councillors who do not know what they do not know is immense. Pack ‘em off to Dundee I say. Here’s why. @EC1VOICES @KeepBunhillOpen @XRIslington @IslingtonClimat @XRIslington

Seen on trees around Central Street, just north of Old Street in London. Save the football pitches, sign the petition: change.org/p/ec1voices-save-…

We bury our Islington dead in Barnet. We haven't buried in Bunhill since 1854. Too overcrowded for the dead. For the living too. Why build 100 homes on our last few green square metres, @IslingtonBC ? Why not build 300 in Barnet or Enfield? Less money, less harm. @EC1VOICES

From @IslingtonBC Mission 2030 document. Do "exemplar spaces for health and mental wellbeing" often have 20 storey concrete towers dumped on them? Or is that just at Finsbury Leisure Centre? @diarmaid_w @RowChampion Withdraw your proposal & talk to people - please? @EC1VOICES

8pm & all Finsbury Leisure Centre pitches in use last night. We will not allow the council to concrete over this resource. Bunhill has been the home of dissent for centuries. I've lived here for eight+ years and I've never know the community so fired up. @EC1VOICES (Pic M Ingram)

A new January temperature record for the UK, which smashes the previous one, as we enter uncharted climate territory
The United Kingdom 🇬🇧 nears the 20°C mark in January for the first time in recorded history. Kinlochewe in Scotland recorded 19.6°C (67.3°F) earlier today, breaking the previous January record by a whopping 1.3°C. Truly astonishing.

London's housing shortage is real. In Islington though we are not short of flawed plans to solve it coming from the Town Hall. This one's a 20 storey block built on the kids' football pitch. #redcard to @diarmaid_w Again. @EC1VOICES @helenburggraf @KeepBunhillOpen @IslingtonTrib

Good sense on @IslingtonTrib letters page 26 Feb. Islington has some of the capital's highest housing density & lowest number of green spaces. We can't solve London's housing crisis on our own, however laudable an ambition that may be. @EC1VOICES @diarmaid_w #notooverdevelopment

A Change.org petition has been started by users of the existing #FinsburyLeisureCentre football pitches, who claim that the latest proposal to develop the space would destroy one of the already-densely-populated area’s “last open spaces”… @NadjaBee @ValerieABossman

. @Airbnb_uk @Airbnb Very disappointed to see you promoting Astrology as an online experience. Astrology is superstitious nonsense often used by the unscrupulous to prey on the vulnerable and is not something I'm comfortable being associated with or being endorsed by Airbnb.
