Tyre Extinguishers: Hundreds of SUVs have tyres deflated by activists
Climate activists have deflated the tyres of scores of SUVs across parts of London overnight. Notes have been left by the group – Tyre Extinguishers – on the sports utility vehicles apologising for targeting the “gas guzzler” cars. Thought to be a splinter group of Extinction Rebellion, it said it wanted to “make it impossible to own an SUV in the UK’s urban areas”. Vehicles in Chelsea, Chiswick, Notting Hill and Belgravia have been targeted. Other areas in the capital said to be hit included Harley Street, Hampstead Heath and Clapham. It is Tyre Extinguishers’ first action as part of
Women offered menopause leave and flexible working at City Hall
Temperature-controlled work spaces and flexible working are being promised for City Hall staff going through the menopause, it has been announced.

Dizzee Rascal: Ex-fiancée Cassandra Jones speaks out
Dizzee Rascal’s ex-fiancée said “wealth and status” should not be allowed to silence women after the grime artist was found guilty of assaulting her. The rapper, whose real name is Dylan Kwabena Mills, attacked Cassandra Jones at a property in Streatham, south London, in June. Ms Jones said the 37-year-old’s guilty verdict brought her “no joy”. “It does help me to look back on what I experienced and have it recognised by the courts as assault,” she added. Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court heard Mills “barged” his way into the property on 8 June, with his son under his arms, before “screaming
