This piece of … I can’t even express how much I despise her…is continuing the client-journalism process of trying to push hate onto benefit claimants.
The woman has no clue to what it’s like to be destitute, only between her ears.

My message to Londoners:

I love our city. Being Mayor is the privilege of my life and the best job in the world.

If I'm re-elected, my plans will make London fairer, safer and greener for everyone.

If you love London, vote for it.

Council letter tells a 56-year-old woman due to be evicted on 1 May that she should be able to 'function reasonably well' if she ends up on the streets.

This is terrible.

And the govt is set to criminalize rough sleeping.

What has the country become?

Government ministers are falling over themselves to tell us they’ve found 150 judges to help implement their morally bankrupt, law breaking #RwandaScheme

In other news the backlog in Crown court cases is now at a record high of almost 70,000….because we don’t have enough judges

'You are a person that I am satisfied can cope and function reasonably well with ‘day to day’ living and this would, I believe, still be the case if you were to become homeless or to remain homeless.” #VoteConservative bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

This evening, on your way home, don’t pick up the Standard out of habit. And if you’re at one of the stations where someone hands it out, tell them why it’s a “no, thank you”. Leave them piled high to be returned. Let them see their circulation drop.

Please share. #BoycottES

“Then flog them in public”.

Susanna Reid deserves some kind of award for not bursting out laughing when Richard Madeley asks if stealing food from a supermarket is ever justified

Madeley was arrested for 'taking items' (including champagne) from a supermarket without paying for them

One policy party. And that policy is to hate trans people.

I feel so blessed for having the opportunity so few are afforded — the chance to lead my country, and who could ask for a better country to lead than Scotland.

Thank you for all of the kind messages of love & support. I will always strive to serve Scotland in whatever way I can.

Genuinely bizarre interview this morning on BBC 5Live 🤨
I was told the polls are ambiguous…??
And when I explained how detention & deportations impact vulnerable people the presenter insisted we have “no idea” if that will happen as part of the Rwanda plan? I’m confused.

As a candidate in the GM Mayoral election, I've been asked to 'clarify my stance' on gender.

I thought my stance on this was obvious, but just to be 100% clear:

Trans women are women. Trans-men are men. Non-binary identities are valid.

This is quite the line of attack from someone who loudly backed both Boris Johnson and Donald Trump
