The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

The Art of the Deal: Jared Kushner’s Hacked Phone Revealed More Than $700 Million in Transfers

The P13 - which runs between Streatham and New Cross via Tulse Hill - is going to down to three buses an hour rather than four, meaning the P13 will only come every 20 minutes rather than every 15. Another reduction in bus service for Tulse Hill :(

TfL want to remove the 415 bus, reducing the frequency of buses between Tulse Hill, Brixton & beyond. This is not good imo. Together with the proposal to reduce the frequency of the P13 bus, this represents a much worse service for locals. Object here: haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/route…

Withdrawal of route 415 and changes to route 333

Have your say on proposed changes to bus routes 415 and 333. Find out about plans to withdraw route 415 and extend route 333 to Old Kent Road.

Imagine giving 53 years to your party, then being told you can't stand because you believe in human rights. The Tories have lost a decent man & a powerful voice for London. Yet again, Badenoch’s Conservatives are happy to chase Reform UK and exclude tolerant, liberal Londoners

I have enormous respect for Andrew Boff. From defending Trans rights to backing fairer votes and the ECHR, he's a man of principle. A Conservative Party that can't accommodate lifelong Tories like him isn't worthy of its name. It's now just a second-rate Reform tribute act.

Some criticism of this being beneath a PM totally misses the fact that this isn’t just an everyday annoyance, the behaviour of enforcement companies is seen as emblematic of a rigged/exploitative system and is entirely the sort of cause of misery people want a govt to tackle.

St Mark's Church in Alexandria (now the pro-Cathedral) was designed by the architect James William Wild a few years after he had completed Christ Church Streatham and had travelled to Egypt as part of an archaeological expedition. victorianweb.org/history/emp…

To the Anglican Cathedral for the Holy Communion. It’s charming and wonderful and the priest couldn’t have been more welcoming.

Watch Reform Council Leader George Finch being called out for whataboutery on Politics Midlands after reeling off a list of other parties' past indiscretions. He is then handed his arse on a plate by the Lib Dem panellist for claiming swift action was taken against those featured in the ITV undercover documentary. His facial expressions say it all.

A historic south London theatre is coming alive with the sound of gospel music and a full orchestra. Brixton Chamber Orchestra is bringing its concert, Gospel Orchestrated, to Streatham Hill Theatre on Saturday 17 October, blending musical traditions in a venue rarely seen by the public.

A reminder of how our music/age perceptions need updating -- a London council is offering a "day disco for over 55s" featuring music from 1950s, 60s and 70s But if you're 56 years old, most of that is your parents' music, not yours.

London government, not national government, should be in charge of 'robotaxi' rollout in the capital. By @CharlesWright57 onlondon.co.uk/charles-wrigh… @LondonAssembly @CarolineRussell @EllyBakerAM @ThomasFTurrell @HinaBokhariLD

London, not Whitehall, should be in charge of 'robotaxi' rollout

The London assembly transport committee has made the case persuasively in a new report on autonomous vehicle regulation
