A message to every MAGA Patriot on X: Donald Trump lied to you. Donald Trump told you that Republicans would steal the 2016 primary for Ted Cruz. He wanted you to call it fraud if Ted Cruz won, so he lied to you. He told you Democrats would steal the 2016 general election for…

The MSM did not cover the scandal of Mogg's REUL Bill which revoked 600 EU/UK laws on 31st Dec 2023 with 1000s more for the chop by 2026, never in history have so many laws been gutted in one fell swoop, now it falls to Keir 'we will not rejoin the EU in my lifetime' Starmer to…


Architects, builders: is this a Schedule of Works? We asked for one, to explain why it may take 6 MONTHS to replace the market’s Canopies, two simple structures. Front of the Market is closed for works, it’s bad for trade. Again this is a ‘Good growth’ project😡😡

Good Growth? We’re glad the Mayor of London is asking whether GG grant money (£7.3 million to Queen’s Market) is being spent right. Almost no improvement after £2 million spent💰 Thanks AM @ZoeGarbett for getting the mayor to hear the traders, also at @SaveRidleyRoad

As a councillor for one of Get Living’s largest developments I’d be very concerned if Get Living’s vision for community building - providing zero permanent community or religious space - is shared by Labour’s YIMBY group. They should be an instruction manual on what *not* to do.

What is the "Labour YIMBY Group" and why is it sponsored by Corporate Property developers?

End of RTB "on new builds only" it would appear. Not much to cling on to there then

Questions for Starmer's changed Labour Party. 'Why did you agree to fully back Sunak's 12 deregulated Freeports and 74 Special Economic Zones as sitting board members of his nationwide Freeports/SEZs consortia considering SEZs flawed histories?' The honest answer would be,…

Freeports come straight out of the neoliberal playbook. 1. Restrict democracy. 2. Provide handouts to big business. 3. Tell other places they have to copy these measures or businesses will flee.



Protesting at the Council meeting in Stratford this evening. FoQM say higher market rents mean higher prices for shoppers. The good-value prices at Queens Market are vital to working people feeding their families - that's why we say 'hands off Queens Market! Protect our market!

Mayor rightly opposes closure of Stratford mini-market saying her 'interest is to protect the livelihoods of local traders'. But if her market options materialise for Queens Market it will result in shop demolitions and stall shrinkage - damaging/finishing off trader livelihoods.

Benjamin Zephaniah wrote us this wonderful letter in 2008. « I go around the world telling people how central to our lives Queen’s Market is…Saving the market is not just about money, it’s also about culture, and our culture is priceless.» Thank you, Benjamin 🌹A great man.

Chair of the full council meeting u-turned the decision to refuse the petition from @FoQMarket and accepted under pressure after insistence from @Dannny_K to reconsider, in addition to the public in the gallery. It’s only fair residents are heard by their elected representatives.

These are the people who fund the ‘think tanks’. This muppet just said it himself instead of secretly paying a Tufton Street dork to say it for coins.

Property developer and CEO Tim Gurner: "We need to see unemployment rise. Unemployment has to jump 40, 50 percent in my view. We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around."



Tonight we gave our petition to @Dannny_K to hand in to the Newham Council full meeting. We await Danny’s chance to speak, but the whole meeting is dedicated to fly tipping 🧐
