Today’s Desert Island Discs was just wonderful. @laurenlaverne is so good at just nudging guests along. @RomeshRang story is incredible, moving and inspiring.

It was really inspiring to hear @FatimaWh1tbread at #LGAConf24, talking about her experiences as a Looked After Child. Pleased, as she is a Thurrock woman, to tell her about Thurrock’s initiative to recognise care leavers as having a protected characteristic

We asked the Department for Education in *March* to publish their Buildings Conditions Survey data, which was supposed to have been released in 2022.
It’s now 6 months later, and children are being sent home from their crumbling schools.
We’re challenging the DfE via the ICO.
Glad to be with @LynnWorrall for our councillor advice surgery in a rainy Grays Town Park, happy to be warm and dry inside the cafe!

Cheers @thejohnkent! I really enjoyed speaking at Thurrock Yacht Club in Grays last night. A proper hidden gem of a cultural space overlooking one of the most interesting vistas in the Essex estuary
Thank you @timburrows for joining us at Thurrock Yacht Club last night to talk about The Invention Of Essex. It was such an interesting evening!

Sorry just isn’t good enough ! Where is the justice for the people of Thurrock The Cllrs on the ruling party cabinet who made these decisions are still Cllrs, still making decisions about our future! Including the decision not to vote for a independent inquiry into this mess!
📢 Last night, Thurrock council's leader apologised for spending tens of thousands of pounds and three years fighting @TBIJ's requests for information on its billion-pound investment deals
Tim will be talking about his business at Thurrock Yacht Club on Friday 4th of August. Promises to be a great evening - and it’s free! Why not come along?
I'm excited to share this edited extract from my forthcoming book, The Invention of Essex theguardian.com/environment/…
