Fantastic to be on the newly pedestrianised Camden High Street, which starts this bank holiday weekend! So much more space for people to enjoy now, and much safer for everyone on the street 😃

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I've met lots of "Reform or Green" voters on the doorstep as well as "Tory or Green [but neverlabour]". Green voters aren't just wannabe Labour voters.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

If you are asking this morning what Labour can learn from this, the answer is - almost nothing. The election is four years away.

If people want to poison their families burning wood indoors let them. But whether you ban wood-burning stoves or not they should not be permitted to poison others for what is a completely unnecessary form of heat. Force the industry to innovate. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

My objection to this is twofold: 1) It is stupid to do seat-by-seat models about an election that will occur after the end of Trump's second term. 2) If pollsters going to spend money on things, why not, e.g. try & get a better sample of young men of all kinds or ethnic minorities of all ages?

I wish TfL would actually promote this. If they want people to use public transport, they have to not hate the experience!

I’ve been cycling around Holborn since I first arrived in London as a student 25 years ago. Oh my goodness, the new cycle lanes make it so much better - it’s great to be working with @CamdenCouncil @AdamDKHarrison on the improvements to the gyratory and the wide neighbourhood.

It was great to show deputy mayor of Vienna Ulli Sima and her team around Camden's flagship West End Project. The WEP removed the awful Tottenham Court Road-Gower Street gyratory, reduced traffic hugely and brought in wider pavements, new parks and extra public seating. 🌳

Before and after: This used to just be a bit of nondescript street. Now it’s a micro space for people. As I walked past, this kid walked up and immediately started playing. Amazing what happens when you design city spaces for people. Not just for cars.
