Shocking, sad news that Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins has died.
Here he is taking the mic at Glastonbury 2017 to cover ‘Under Pressure’.

For two months our team of journalists fanned out across Eng and Wales, logging possession hearings in 30 courts. But time and time again we were told - incorrectly - that journalists and the public were never allowed into these courts... thebureauinvestigates.com/st…

Refuses to discuss or knows she cannot justify this climate- wrecking project to the #Islington taxpayer footing the bill? It's NOT too late to scrap this project- come on @RowChampion @EmilyThornberry @jeremycorbyn @SadiqKhan @KwasiKwarteng you CAN do this! @XRIslington
Greenwashing? Islington's eco chief refused to answer questions relating to the new incinerator being built during an interview about the council's eco festival – held to reduce CO2 emissions.... @StopTheRebuild @NL_incin_CTS @XRIslington @XRebellionUK bit.ly/3DYSywt

this follows strong reporting by @EmmaReporter of @hackneygazette of this development. No public tender was ever held before granting the multi-million pound development deal and 999-year lease. No disclosure of the beneficial owner hackneygazette.co.uk/news/wa…

We asked the 3 short listed contractors for the Edmonton #incinerator @NLHPP to pull out: thank you @CNIM_Group for listening! Remaining bidders now working together: will @ACCIONA_EN @ACCIONACareers do the right thing and scrap their plans? #ClimateEmergency @XRLondon
What competition? One bidder left in 'race' to build north London incinerator... @StopTheRebuild @GreenpeaceUK @XRebellionUK @georgiaes @MPIainDS

Reflecting on the London uprisings 10yrs ago, I'm reminded of an article by @EmmaReporter.
Boris, then London mayor, wasted £1.5m of riot regeneration fund on a FAILED gentrification project in Hackney building luxury retail stores on Morning Lane - further dividing communities

What is going on here that the Chair (in his 13th year in charge) won’t even let a member ask a single question on the Edmonton Incinerator after hearing over an hour of moving deputations.

Great to hear the stream is rolling. A unique event - a Glastonbury with no live or online audience. I hope the cows are enjoying it anyway.

That explains why the @NLHPP #Edmonton incinerator is 3 TIMES TOO LARGE for North London's waste needs. It's time for @labourstone and the rest of @connectNLWA board to resign
@KateOsamor @EnfieldDispatch @BLMEnfield @XREnfield @Nesil_Caliskan @EdmontonTories @Labour4Edmonton
The NLWA doesn't seem to have carried out any waste forecasts in the past 5 years since the Edmonton incinerator was given planning permission @MPIainDS

#Hackney watchers - this raises a lot of questions. @hackneygazette's @EmmaReporter rpts how @hackneycouncil spent £60m buying big Tesco land site. Then it signed it away with 999yr lease to developer with out competitive tender to a mysterious party. hackneygazette.co.uk/news/wa…

Facebook has broken something today. As journalists we rely on fair dealing. We put qs in good faith. And we publish answers in good faith. For the official corporate comms of a company of this scale & size to act in such deeply bad faith is a cold, ill discomforting wind

Chuffed to have been asked to write a blog for the @hackneytours 'Hackney Changemakers' series.
"Hackney has always been unequal...That doesn’t mean it has to stay quite so hideously unequal today."
I bloody love Hackney, so its injustices get me angry:
