Day 1 of the new Oxford Street. It’s looking great. As @CamdenCouncil Leader, I supported @MayorofLondon’s initiative from the outset and I’m glad I did so. A pleasure to walk it this afternoon and be able to use the traffic-free space to navigate the crowds. #OxfordStreet

A technology that health professionals and patients don't trust is not a "successful implementation". And that lack of trust is not just some political brain fog. Time for some take back public control. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

In the 1951 general election Alf, Lord Dubs campaigned in Holborn & St Pancras. Seventy-five years later he’s back to campaign for Sagal!

If the argument for *joining* the EU is just "Brexit hasn't worked", it will fail. This time a positive case has to be articulated. Forcefully.

Happy Kicked In The Head By A Horse Day, to all who celebrate. It's the 7th anniversary of this absolute banger.

For some tech founders, making hundreds of millions of dollars didn’t feel like they thought it would. And they’re looking for advice on what to do now. Read more: bloom.bg/4h0b4tk 📷: Michael Nagle/Bloomberg

A packed crowd waiting for the launch of @Sagal_AW by-election campaign. Everyone bristling with energy and ready for the #HolbornAndStPancras by-election. #VoteLabour on October 8.

While we await the annihilation of humanity by AI, I am low-level worried that my washing machine has started messaging to scold me for my unacceptable detergent conduct.

Ben Coleman@chelfulhamben.bsky.social

Delighted govt going further to protect children online & blocking taking & sharing of nude images of children. There's still danger tech companies will push back & find sympathetic ears in US. We need to work with European partners to strengthen our hand and protect children.

Sam Freedman@samfr.bsky.social

Worth noting that England is now also outperforming Northern Ireland with its grammar schools, which use to get similar results. Comprehensive education works!

It didn't "go rogue". It did what it was instructed to do. In a sophisticated way but nonetheless we have to stop assigning human agency to AI systems. Everything that happened here was as a result of human designed and instructed systems.

Morning, Matt Goodwn.

Anthony Painter@anthonypainter.bsky.social

Not going to lie, I think this is a bad idea. UK Government has not properly adjusted to devolution. We have a series of ministers who seem to largely man mark devolved nations/regions- we don't need more. Which creates even more clutter/duplication. We have to push power down *and* de-dupe.

Heather Stewart@guardianheather.bsky.social

Absolutely love the idea here of a "v successful aristocratic family" coming under attack from, "the establishment".

Labour GAIN from Green! Huge congratulations to @camdenlabour.bsky.social's Nanouche Umeadi for winning the Regents Park by-election. Great to see her back on Camden Council, after defeating the relentless negativity and posturing of Camden Green party.

If your party has to pull activists off a major mayoral race so your leader can defeat a bin, you’re basically fucked. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Average cost of a Parliamentary by-election? In 2016: £230,000. In today’s prices, c. £320,000. All that for #Farage to prove what, exactly? #Clacton questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-ques...

Counter offer: Only Count Binface should stand.

Will Jennings📉🗳️@drjennings.bsky.social

If Restore aren't contesting Clacton it makes no sense for Labour, Greens, Lib Dems to either. Easy message is "stop wasting everyone's time, we'll see you in the autumn for the real by-election" and let Farage pound the doorsteps and stand on a stage with Count Binface.

Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social

Nigel Farage represents one of the UK's poorest constituencies. He made more money since entering Parliament than any other MP. Now he's forcing the taxpayer to pay hundreds of thousands of pounds for a by-election gimmick to distract from investigations into gigantic "donations" he's received.

Ben Coleman@chelfulhamben.bsky.social

On this day in 1948, hospitals in Chelsea, Fulham and beyond were made free for all by the Labour govt - no more workhouse stigma, no more means-testing at the door. Today, we're getting waiting lists down but there's still lots more to do, working with the wonderful NHS staff. 💙 #NHSbirthday

Richard Hermer@richardhermer.bsky.social

Strongly support this move from my excellent colleague. The reality is that Twitter / X does push misinformation, abuse and racism, and we all know it. While we both support colleagues to make their own choices, Twitter / X is not the country, and there are lots of ways to engage with voters.
