I love a 🌈 But although we have no rainbows today, just rain, it is making me feel happy, just for once! As we’ve had so little rain of late

The Tories said this two years ago, then backed down when they realised how unpopular it was to leave children hungry at school.
I'm sure @EmmaBest22 hasn't thought this one through...

Someone has gone to a lot of trouble to attack the London Mayor @SadiqKhan - DVLA themselves should ask for this judgement to be set aside, as so clearly a scam
Exclusive: City Hall officials say Sir Sadiq Khan is the victim of a ‘scam’ involving someone falsely stating that he owned the vehicle trib.al/98sAXGX
Waiting to hear if our fabulous candidate #Shirin has won the Trinity award by-election
Gotta love Llandudno
Tourist: "Why is there a goat in the Spar car park?"
Local: "That's Kevin. He does the car park."
Tourist: "Does anyone come and collect him?"
Local: "Collect him where? He lives here."
Tourist: "On the headland."
Local: "On the headland, in the town, in the doorway of the pharmacy. It varies."
Tourist: "Somebody must be responsible for them."
Local: "Queen Victoria, at a push. The originals were a gift. They've been on the Orme since before the pier."
Tourist: "They're eating the flowers outside the hotel."
Local: "They're eating the gorse on the headland too. That's why the headland hasn't gone up in flames since anyone can remember."
Tourist: "There's one in the bus shelter."
Local: "It's about to rain."
Tourist: "Does it move when the bus comes?"
Local: "It moves when it's finished."
Tourist: "And the driver just waits?"
Local: "The driver's called Gareth. Gareth waits."
Tourist: "This is the strangest town I have ever been to in my life."
Local: "You've been here four hours. They've been here a hundred and thirty years. Have another think about who's odd."
Once upon a time, we used to live in a green & pleasant land, instead of the brittle, dry, wilted & even dying land. Our trees & shrubs are just not made for this weather - we need soft, gentle, endless rain for about a month at least!

.@LeonieC has written to @LondonCityAir's CEO calling for expansion plans to be paused until further assessments have been carried out.
Residents deserve clear evidence about the potential impact on noise, health and quality of life before any decisions are made.
#CleanAirDay
Not just Heathrow expansion that Londoners face, but expansion at #CityAirport too, with their proposals for bigger planes flying lower. This should not happen until a full assessment of the noise & air quality impacts has been carried out

Londoners MUST have their say on any proposed expansion plans. We are the ones who will be affected by any increase in noise pollution or air pollution #ProperConsultation #NoMadDash

I miss the crocuses when they’re gone - such a sign that spring is coming when they first arrive! Plus they also remind me of all the work @Rotary has done to eradicate polio #Purple4Polio

Starting a busy weekend back in Merton on the campaign trail.
From delivering the first council homes in a generation, to keeping council tax low, to investing in children's services - councils like Merton are showing every day the difference Labour in power can make.

Cuteness overload.
On a 100 metre stretch of the River Lea down at Hackney Marshes we have another brood of mallard ducklings, this time 11 of them.
