Amazing launch tonight of Wildlife Photographer of the Year at the Natural History Museum.

So many striking images all telling a story of how fragile life can be on our planet and wildlife & nature are struggling badly.

These stories should all be the starkest warning call.

Huge solidarity to @IWGBunion and everyone on strike at the RSA.

The Chief Exec has taken a 170% pay rise whilst others have been offered derisory sums.

@TheGreenParty will continue to stand with you against this very obvious injustice until you win! ✊🏾

In 68 countries around the world, LGBT+ people are criminalised & persecuted because of who they are & who they love.

Lady Phyll is Chief Executive of the Kaleidoscope Trust- a charity working to protect the rights of LGBT+ people globally & it's always brilliant to see her!

I've written to the BBC Director General, Director of Nations & Acting Director of BBC England.

Along with my colleagues, we're concerned about the millions of people who experience a sense of community through local radio.

I'm in the Economy Committee at City Hall where we're discussing the importance of cargo bikes.

Over 25% of our carbon emissions come from motor vehicles & we need to reduce both.

Cargo bikes can be a huge (but not the only) part of changing that.

Loved chairing today a brilliant discussion with businesses around London working towards a green and just transition.

It was great to hear these businesses encouraging those in power to make bold moves with them towards tackling the climate emergency.

We need to act now.

I'm supporting the Rock the Ribbon campaign with the National Aids Trust.

This Thursday 1st December is World Aids Day and is an opportunity to show solidarity with the millions of people living with HIV worldwide.

With London Fire Brigade attending a high rise training exercise with officers.

Struck by the amount of logistics & hard work that goes into protecting the public.

It came through loud & clear how much personal emergency evacuation plans (PEEPS) are necessary to keep people safe.

Once again trying to set the table for Austerity 2.0.

Amongst other measures, it's time for a wealth tax.

A 1% tax on the wealthiest 1% raising around £70bn a year.

With an actual windfall tax on excess profits of oil & gas.

How dare this government say there's no money?
