When MET police officers are having to rely on donated pushbikes built by a toyshop... you know something is broken.
A man ran from an M&S in Romford with a basket of stolen goods. Officers chased him down on bikes, donated by Romford BID and built by Smyths Toys. This is community policing in action, helping keep local people and businesses safe.
867 new homes to replace a car park and shopping arcade in Peckham. Rejected by the council (and opposed by the local MP, Labour environment minister @Miatsf). standard.co.uk/news/london/pe…
Can anyone explain to me why one of the wealthiest countries in the world cannot station a permanent police box/presence on one of the most visited tourist sites in the country? @metpoliceuk
Insanity: British man walks on Westminster Bridge while filming. Scammers notice his camera, and they immediately begin screaming, slapping, shoving and SPITTING on him, trying to force him to delete his footage. Why the hell is this tolerated? Tiktok: @ londonscammers

The UK is the only country in the world that operates a scheme like Motability. It's utterly insane in its scope and generosity. Our great parliamentarians take great pride in this and wish to export this fiscal terror to the rest of the planet.
Why is it so difficult for socialists to understand that higher taxes often mean lower tax revenues? They always make the same mistake.
Coal Drops Yard is honestly becoming my favourite place in London, and at the same time it’s somewhat depressing. Why? Because it gives you a real glimpse what London would be like if it were run with the efficiency of Singapore. Clean, safe and vibrant. It’s 11:30pm and…
Britain's growth rate in 1997 was 4.9%. 4.9%. Just unimaginable to anyone of my generation.
And: -96% of hydrogen is filthy, made from unabated carbon -Green hydrogen uses 5x more electricity than a heat pump for the same amount of heating -Hydrogen is 1/3 the energy density of gas, so requires 3x the volume - It's the leakiest molecule in the universe
An apparently necessary reminder that the Tory government rightly cancelled a bunch of hydrogen heating trials, mostly because the local residents reacted unfavourably to the prospect of this happening in their kitchens.
One of the many areas where AI has been game-changing.
Lovable just crossed $100M ARR in 8 months. Faster than OpenAI, Cursor, Wiz, and every other software company in history. Today we're launching a game-changing update, it reduces the error rates by 91%. Introducing Lovable Agent:
Today I had an FOI returned showing that @metpoliceuk have no integrated/automatic means of checking an individuals immigration status when running a PNC check. Rather, it is down to officers discretion to call up a 24/7 hotline run by the Home Office. When asked how many times…
Not entirely sure how this will work? So you geofence migrant hotels so that accounts cannot be activated/deactivated within. What stops someone just cycling 15min down the road and activating their account?
We're taking action to stop migrants working illegally as food delivery drivers.
A really fantastic piece of journalism. Tax avoidance on an industrial scale.
Our LondonCentric piece this morn shows how Asif Aziz’s company repeatedly rents some of the UK’s priciest retail spaces to students who vanish without paying millions in tax. There’s so much money for HMRC in the WestEnd if it just enforces compliance. open.substack.com/pub/londoncent…

I've lived in London for 30 years. It's safer, cleaner, more at ease with itself by far now than it was when I came here and the only people who believe otherwise have either never set foot in the place or have a massive chaos agenda. Check out homicide figures in that time 1/2
People have now realised that protests are effective at closing migrant hotels. Expect this to be a theme over the remainder of the summer. Could get pretty ugly pretty quickly.
🚨NEW: The number outside the luxury Brittania hotel has grown considerably, with a helicopter spotted above
Imagine being proud that it’s taken 16 years to give the green light to a critical infrastructure project.
16 years ago I identified Sizewell as a site for new nuclear power. Today I am delighted that Sizewell C has finally been given the green light. We're delivering the biggest nuclear building programme in a generation 👇
A private golf course will close and a public park with lakeside walks will double in size. And people objected. theguardian.com/sport/2025/jul…
Honestly, I'm not normally one for regulation but this is becoming far too common. Can we just mandate that all buses have to have a low bridge warning system installed?
Three seriously injured after double decker bus has roof ripped off in crash A total of 15 people have been taken to hospital and the road remains closed
It is funny that all the think tankers, columnists, and governments economists are puzzling why the benefits bill is exploding and the most trusted man in the country has a TV shows that’s just “you got my parents claiming £20k a year more, thanks Martin!”
Attendance Allowance is a massively underclaimed, non-means-tested benefit that can unlock £1,000s in extra help. But around one million people who are eligible for it may be missing out! ⬇️
