The local councillor in question took home £50,172.71 in allowances and expenses in 23/24 on top of his full time salary as a teacher (which includes several weeks paid holiday). https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-12/Member allowances 2023-24 - individual figures.pdf I'm sure many hard working people at Sainsbury's would be delighted to make quite so much money. -
Did anything actually crash into a pedestrian? Hope they are ok if so.

I don't care particularly for McAsh, the Greens or their drugs policy, but this "Greens will feed your children crack at school" stuff from the Daily Mail is just hysterical nonsense. Labour should be ashamed for seeding it - and the Mail doesn't know any better. Meanwhile, I can't remember the exact Tweet I saw recently but it was something like "some people who believe all politicians are out to enrich themselves only say that because they can't imagine serving their community for its own sake". The idea that serving as a local councillor (including dealing with the public, internal party politics - which is always the most vicious where the stakes are lowest, and plenty of unpaid prep work) is a great pathway for careerists and moneygrabbers is utter shite. On a per hour basis you'd be far better off working at Sainsbos. -
That’s awful - I really hope no one is seriously injured. It might be worth updating the title so it clearly reflects what happened: a driver crashed into a pedestrian. The way we describe collisions matters, because it shapes how people understand responsibility and risk. If a cyclist hit someone, it would sound odd to say “bike hit pedestrian” without mentioning the rider - yet when cars are involved, the driver often disappears from the wording. Using accurate language isn’t about blaming anyone before the facts are known; it’s simply about recognising that vehicles don’t act on their own. Drivers have agency, and it would be helpful if the wording reflected that.
