Oxford Street goes traffic-free tonight. We wanted it to be the best it could be. The Mayor's artificial deadline meant it couldn't be, and we would have had a much better scheme next year. Tim Barnes on BBC London. #WestminsterMatters #Westminster #CityThatWorksForAll

Best thing would be to reverse the Reeves-era #Labour NICs increases and removal of the floor.
Huge benefits for the economy and young people, in particular.

Hammersmith & Fulham residents will be hit by the largest council tax increase ever next year. Bills are set to increase by 150% or £1500 per year. Yet @HFLabour refuse to join nearby councils to oppose the government’s funding reforms causing this. 👇

Many, many, articles this weekend covering the pedestrianisation of #OxfordStreet from Monday.
This from @silvesterldn in @thetimes.
So much work still to be done if the downsides are not to outweigh the potential benefits.

BREAKING
The Treasury’s entrepreneurship adviser has announced she is quitting.
Alex Depledge tells my colleague @hannahprevett start-ups are treated as a “sideshow” and a “nice to have”.
“Entrepreneurship can’t be seen as a good news bonus on the margins of economic policy. That mentality is really dangerous for British business as a whole…”
Depledge due to leave her role on Thursday, the day after the Budget.

We did stated according to TfL. You can use their journey planner to check. We agree Seymour Mews must be wrong but we are talking TfL. The east bound buses were meant to run along Henrietta Place.

Oxford Street - your bus journey is about to take 8 mins longer after pedestrianisation according to TfL. Let’s see what it is in reality!

Enter NIGHTSHIFT for up to £10 off an Uber ride or NIGHTSHIFTEATS for up to £10 off Uber Eats, valid 00:01 to 08:00 on Sunday 25 October.
It’s a welcome way to recognise the people who make our nights possible.
