Announcing plans for the first British city in 50 years in front of 1500 people at the O2 in Greenwich. Amazing. Sign the pledge.

We were busy this morning - cleaning up after @MayorofLondon Before/after pics in thread. @tomhfh @okmatija @jamesemg

I drive past this sign most days and for years it’s not been cleaned… so myself and @JLovJoy decided to clean it. Make Edge Hill clean again 🔶 @DavidAltonHL

it’s so over

🚨 NEW: The Government has announced that food delivery companies and other gig economy employers must now legally verify that anyone working under their name is allowed to work in the UK Companies that fail to do so face fines of up to £60k per worker or up to 5 years in prison

Oxford scientists achieve teleportation with quantum supercomputer independent.co.uk/tech/quant…

Nvidia’s market capitalisation is now 36% higher than UK GDP, and is about to break $5 trillion. Meanwhile the UK has minimal compute and among the highest energy costs in the world. The dinosaur political class is asleep at the wheel.

EXC: The Lower Thames Crossing has been approved by the government. The £9billion project has been in the pipeline since 2009. £300m spent on the planning application alone.

Today, we launch the LFG National Priority Infrastructure Bill - it has the potential to break the cycle of endless planning - and Get Britain Building.

'A row of 12 social houses has just been built opposite me. I'm feeling disheartened by how much higher their quality of lives are compared to mine. Can I get a reality check?'

🚨 NEW: Green co-leader Adrian Ramsay says a third runway at Heathrow would be "incredibly irresponsible in the midst of a climate emergency" Starmer: "I'm not going to take lectures from those who talk about climate change but oppose vital renewable infrastructure" #PMQs

Trump signs an EO on H-1Bs raising "the fee that companies pay to sponsor H1-B applicants to $100,000"

🚨 Is Sadiq Khan’s TfL Chief seriously suggesting that people like @tomhfh and @lfg_uk are spraying graffiti just so they can clean it off themselves? Why on earth would they have to do that?

"Housing doesn't seem to function in the same way other assets do." Labour are promising to build 1.5M homes in the next 5 years. Housing journalist @Victoria_Spratt explains why this increased supply won't make homes any cheaper. @maitlis | @jonsopel

What if we planned 400 years in advance? Oxford college was founded in the 1300s, and the roof was made of wood. Four hundred years after it was built, the massive oak beams supporting the roof were rotting. You can see how this would create a problem. The larger problem, a tree that size and that could support a load that heavy is likely to be quite uncommon. Old growth oak isn't going to be a common natural occurrence on an island with a growing population. So the college started asking around. They contacted the college forester, which is amazing that the title even existed, and he replied something akin to, "we wondered when you were going to ask." You see, four hundred years ago when the college was built, they knew that the oak beams would eventually rot, and they also knew that the types of trees needed to support the roof were not likely going to be common. So they planted an oak grove. They planted an oak grove to replace the beams, and they left specific instructions that the grove should not be cut, "these trees are for the roof at Oxford." Four hundred years later. We struggle to think a year or two into the future. But what if we could plan generations into the future? What if we just tried? Partly, I think, we don't because we've all been tricked into believing that the world is just going to burn up any day now. It's all going to pot, no point in investing in it or planning that far ahead. No point in leaving an inheritance. No point in building institutions to benefit the next ten generations. No point in architecture to stand four hundred years. But what if I told you that was a very new mindset? A very new interpretation of history? What if the moves we made today, the institutions we built and funded today, we did in light of what we anticipated for our great great grandchildren? I think we'd change the world. Or at least we'd be giving our great great grandchildren the chance to.

I’m not often shocked in politics. But: Yesterday I was taken aback that the Prime Minister identified in the Daily Mail and personally attacked - really quite aggressively - a random environmental campaigner in Norfolk, painting a target on this guy’s back, accusing him of blocking growth The problem is the system the PM controls - not an individual using his legal rights, even Sir Keir dislikes the outcome That’s a lot of shit to throw at a private individual from Downing Street towers…

NEW Chancellor tells me Budget options including “targeted action” on consumer bills to “deal with cost of living challenges”. It includes cutting surcharges on energy bills or cutting the 5% rate of VAT.

Are Starmer and Reeves finally about to take their heads out of the sand and admit that taxing wealth fairly is a much better idea than cutting support for disabled people?

Comedians James Acaster and Nish Kumar help raise £40,000 to fight #Peckham redevelopment Campaigners are seeking to raise £50,000 to fight the planning application @AcasterUpdates @MrNishKumar @PeckhamVision southwarknews.co.uk/area/pec…

Did TfL's chief really just do that?? The LFG volunteers cleaning the tube are heroes, making the city cleaner and safer. Perhaps Andy would consider putting some of his £400k salary towards cleaning supplies for our next cleaning session?

Watch: Londoners remove graffiti from Tube in swipe at Sadiq Khan Group of residents take aim at the Mayor while wearing ‘Doing what Sadiq Khant’ T-shirts! telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/06…

**BREAKING** The Government will pass an emergency law to stop 'two tier' sentencing rules allowing judges to discriminate against white men, Sir Keir Starmer tells @GBNEWS. “We will fast track it,” the Prime Minister tells me. Watch my chat with the PM now on @GBNEWS.

We are putting the renewables industry on notice. We will lower energy bills for working people.

For too long insane planning laws, clueless bureaucrats and over-regulation has meant Britain builds almost nothing. Nowhere near enough homes are being built, nowhere near enough Small Modular Reactors, nowhere near enough beautiful architecture. If @Nigel_Farage becomes Prime Minister, we will be ready with legislation to get Britain building at a speed and scale unseen since the post-ear era.

💥 NEW: Keir Starmer faces a damaging Labour split over expansion plans for Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton *Sadiq Khan says he will launch a fresh legal challenge if Starmer backs a Heathrow third runway — a major break between No10 and the London mayor *Cabinet is divided. Ministers feel bounced by the Treasury. Sources complaining about climate change, air pollution and noise impacts and questioning the growth benefits *Ed Miliband threatened to resign from Cabinet over Heathrow in 2009 and vocally opposed it in 2018. Eight current Cabinet members voted against expansion then *But a senior govt source warns ministers they must support the core objective of economic growth, warning those with environmental concerns they cannot be blockers *Andy Burnham tells Bloomberg it can’t “come at the expense of the north of England,” warning that wouldn’t be “balanced growth” *other MPs like Chris Curtis of the Labour Growth Group back the proposals Story with @PronouncedAlva @EllenAMilligan >>> bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Maybe I'm over-reacting, but if a wealth tax is introduced in the UK I'm done. It'll be too painful and too depressing and too pointless to stay and try to fix things. I don't know where Dariia and I would go. Perhaps Ukraine. Perhaps Switzerland. I want to stay, I want to grow, I want to build, but I'm not going to sit around and watch everything I care about dis-integrate around me while people like Carla pretend it's a good thing.

You shouldn’t need a driveway to own an electric car. My Plan for Change is boosting funding for infrastructure to allow cables to run safely beneath pavements. That’s cheaper, at home charging – putting money back in the pockets of working people.

On wealth tax: I want to do my life’s work in the UK, but if 2% of it is taken from me every year, I’m going to do it somewhere else. That's the thing running through the mind of every entrepreneur, artist, and scientist hoping to make it big.

Nice one @UKNNL

Nuclear uses 1,000 times less land than wind or solar. On a small, beautiful island like ours, that matters. If Labour were serious about nuclear they’d back our amendments to scrap the environmental regulations that simply add costs and do more harm than good to nature.

I welcome the news that Maccabi Tel Aviv fans will not be permitted to watch the match at Aston Villa! Well done to all those that signed our petition!

Reform likely to raise Kent council tax after cost-cutting drive falters on.ft.com/3KTMTjU

With the adoption of NIMBYism, Reform has finally completed its journey as the Conservative Party 2.0 (Also being a NIMBY in Milton Keynes is objectively hilarious)

Man, I hate NIMBYs

Ignoring politics for a moment, this sort of thing could and should become a thing. Many people, especially the old and young, have a lot of time on their hands. It may be the best way to improve our public spaces is Big Society style voluntarism. At some point people realise taxes and debt have alreadh been maxed and the state is still broke. Nothing is changing. We have decades working through the black holes left to us. AI pushing down on wages and jobs. Eventuallt people may realise things are getting better ever unless they get off their arses and fix the spaces around them. Lots of people now trying to go part time. Limit incomes under thresholds. Im sure the state is wasting large amounts of money or just pouring it into pension and welfare black holes. Use the spare time to increae the spaces around you.

The Sentencing Council was invented in 2010. Justice does not demand we have a sentencing council. Remove them. Put these decisions back in the hands of those that the public can hold to account. No waiting around. The government must pass an emergency Act to end this.

🚨 NEW: Treasury Ministers are supporting plans to make it easier for banks to lend money to first-time buyers [@thetimes]

Bakerloo line too. And it wasn’t like this even three years ago.

Spotting these all over my neighbourhood

🚨📽️ WATCH: Keir Starmer confirms he is still committed to lowering the voting age to 16 "I think if you're old enough to go out and work, if you're old enough to pay your taxes, then you are entitled to have a say on how your taxes are spent"

"I've looked at the numbers... we probably need a DOGE for every single county council in England" Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says he does "accept that it's been very tough for county councils" #BBCLauraK bbc.in/4luGI3L

I've always found it odd that people who oppose government ID cards are usually more than happy to own a loyalty card that allows private companies to keep track of tons of personal information about you.

Tweeting this now, it'll make sense tomorrow. LETS FUCKING GO 🚀

Sadiq refusing to take responsibility, yet again. Somehow it's our fault that criminals are getting away with it. Somehow it's our fault that people aren't being caught and pressured. Do your f***ing job.

Biggest “Britain is open for business” moment yet. There is already insanely good talent here, now it’s time to get the rest of the world’s top talent too.

Astonishing. Sadiq Khan says @lfg_uk and @tomhfh were wrong to use their initiative and do the Mayor’s job for him by cleaning graffiti up on the Tube themselves, when pushed by @Councillorsuzie. TfL have a £775 million contract for cleaning graffiti - Khan must get a grip.
