Planning. They didn’t block the m25 they made a plan. Compare and contrast to today. One is some pricks who we keep getting told have “legitimate concerns” and the other are people who have actual concerns for the state of this fucking planet. Fuck this government.

Mixed results in my final attempt of the summer to finish first of the over-50s at Walthamstow parkrun today: first in the 55-59 age group but was beaten by THREE over 60s and two young whipper snappers aged 50-54. In fact the second overall was a 54-59 year-old who ran 18:17 .... 😮😯😲 #parkrun

More fun on the Central Line this morning- at Woodford there was only one westbound train in 17 minutes: at rush hour. It doesn’t even get a mention on the TfL website- showing up as good service. #tfl #centralline

A few snippets on the the ongoing (2 years!) problems with the Central Line - most press is from 2024 and 2025 but there are still train cancellations every day. #tfl #centralline www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... www.mylondon.news/news/transpo... www.londontravelwatch.org.uk/news/blog-po...

I like the implication in these pictures that on the other 364 days of the year, the zoo has only the vaguest sense of how many lions it should have

📅 It's been a record-breaking year for cycling in London, with the capital showing it's well on its way to becoming a city that runs on two wheels! 🚴 From hitting 1.5 million daily journeys, to the cycle networks expansion, here's our wrap up of 2025: bit.ly/4jgbeh5

I always felt I was financially disadvantaged as a parent of three… and now I know it’s true! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... (University for three is going to cost me a minimum of £56K, possibly nearer £100K, that’s on top of the student loans)

Axing the cycle-to-work scheme might seem like low-hanging fruit for a cash-strapped Treasury, but it would be a big mistake. Particularly with expensive kid-carrying cargo e-bikes, it's one of the most effective modal shift levers out there. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

In a spirit of all things spooky and MR James like, this is the tomb of a Sir Sampson Meverill in Tideswell, Derbyshire, who fought against Joan of Arc’s forces but returned home to make himself thoroughly unpopular with all his neighbours! Well worth a visit. #ghosts #MRJames #folkhorror

Absolutely unacceptable treatment of my wife and son at the hands of @gwr.com at Paddington this morning- more details to follow but in short their train was cancelled so a member of staff put them on an earlier one whereupon they were charged an EXTRA £68 as their ticket wasn’t valid.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 15/09/2025

We must unite against those who seek to divide us.

I know many people, particularly from London's diverse communities, are feeling extremely worried following the events this weekend.

It takes me back to how I felt growing up in the ’70s and ’80s, when
far-right political parties marched on our streets.

The leaders of the far-right are once again attempting to hijack our flag, with minorities being intimidated and fear, hatred and division being sown.

As Londoners, and as proud Brits, we must unite to reject the far-right
– just as we have many times before.

But it’s going to take a huge effort from us all – from people of all races and backgrounds, who are willing to stand up for our British values of equality, inclusion and mutual respect.

As Mayor, I'll continue to do everything I can to challenge the far-right and all those who peddle the politics of fear and division.

I urge other politicians and Londoners to do the same.

MAYOR OF LONDON, SADIQ KHAN
