On the Sunday Politics show, one of the political journalists reported that Labour want Dame Tessa Jowell to run for London Mayor at the next election in preference to Tooting's Sadiq Khan.


If this happens, it's very likely that she'll resign her parliamentary seat here, which would lead to a new Labour MP here, although it could become a high-profile seat if Labour put in a name.

She'll never become mayor of London. She's married to a man who's been convicted twice of accepting a bribe to commit perjury in an Italian court. It was finally overturned because his third appeal proceedings ran out of time. As the Daily Mail reported on 18 Sept last year:


"She was dragged into her husband?s controversial financial affairs in 2006 when it emerged that she had signed papers for a loan secured on their London home ? which was subsequently paid off with the help of the alleged bribe."

Furry...and possibly with sharp teeth?

A safe Tory seat? Won't happen- all the medics who live in the Village and send their kids to the private schools always vote Labour for a start- can't imagine how enough votes could ensure a Tory MP next time. And as for the Lib-Dems- mansion tax, heirloom tax.... tantamount to Communism. Nobody is interested in doing what's right for the realm any more.

Doubtful - unless the residents of Dulwich Village vote differently in general elesctions to how they vote in local council elections.

    • It struck me last year that any dialogue with Gala themselves e.g. at the box-ticking "Community Engagement Sessions" is completely pointless, as they are just a business trying to do whatever is necessary to hold their event; the park is just a venue to them, a necessary facility, and they'll say anything to secure it. They don't care about it's welfare or upkeep, over and above making sure there's no complaints big enough to prevent them using it again. I've found that discussing issues with them has just led to them using that info to counteract that issue - effectively helping them strengthen their position. What I find frustrating is that the council, despite being the body that decides on this, and should be representing local residents, takes no active part in any discussions or presentations, so there's no way to engage with them apart from an online consultation which is clearly also a box ticking exercise, bearing in mind for the last two years the overwhelming majority (97% of respondents) objected to the event. Why are Gala running the community meetings? Why do Gala run the issue hotline? If the council really care about the park and the surrounding community, and still allow this type of event, they should be way more hands on with taking responsibility for it's running, not just handing it all over to a profit making company.  Sorry, probably tldr but so sad about the repeated negative impact on our (once beautiful & peaceful) park and just exasperated that there's so little that can be done to halt it. This is just the start, it WILL turn into another Brockwell Park, and Gala & the council just don't care.
    • We used these guys for our underfloor heating, their heating engineer Sam was excellent. Very reassuring and sorted it all out properly.
    • They’re convenient. They’re fun to ride. From ED, getting a Lime to Brixton and then jumping on the tube is probably the fastest way to get into central London. There’s a reason they’re  popular.
    • You must be a cynic as in a previous post you’ve asked someone to have a go on one of these monstrous lime bikes! Not everyone is able to walk, let alone ride a bike!
