Class war, my arse. If you opt out of the state system, the Children and Families Act 2014 kicks in. Brought in by the Tories, the effect of this Act is that services such as occupational therapy provided by the LA to state schools, are not available to non special independent schools.

May was a good month for solar PV: - We used £50 of electricity generated by our solar array, either used directly or stored in our battery; - We sold another £50 back to the grid; - The only thing our electricity supplier charged us for was their standing charge (circa £0.50 per day)

Chris is absolutely right to observe that there's energy behind Zack's campaign. That's true, but there's more than that: at our worst, we Greens are too timid about our values, our policies, what we stand for. It doesn't serve us well. Zack's bold. So I'll be voting for @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Found this an interesting interview on a number of levels, not least of which being this is how I learned that an industrial strategy is - finally - due to be launched. Let's hope it has a strong focus on equipping left-behind communities to make the most of the UK's home-grown renewables growth.

“There's a reason why European cities have trams,” Brabin says. “They can carry three times as many people. They are often segregated, so they are reliable: you go to the tram stop, and the tram is there in a few minutes. It’s also cleaner and greener.” Trams ftw

Big Oil is selling the myth that their planet-warming pollution can be solved by carbon capture technology. The reality is that it's an expensive distraction, and they want the rest of us to pay for it.

“In realistic terms, I don’t think it (carbon capture and storage) is ever going to happen.” Pretty rare for me to agree with fossil fuel advocates, but this is one of those times.

Just had an EPC done for our house. Thoughts: 1. We're almost fully optimised, at least according to their methodology; 2. The only suggested improvements are floor insulation and solar hot water which, at £4-6k each, are not attractive; 3. We have a battery, but it counts for nothing on an EPC

These things are an outdated, shit (discrimatory) design. An unanswered FOI for the Equality Impact Assessment suggests they didn't do one. Latest government active travel guidance is clear, and aligns with best practice advice from @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk: - a 1.5m air gap between bollards.

What happens when ProudPaytriot1962, the angriest and worst-informed man on local Facebook, finds out that managing local government finances is complicated and difficult, and that for every £1 of "vanity project" spending, there's £100,000 of social care need? We may be about to find out.

If you listened to drivers, you'd think all cycle infrastructure is a waste of money. But, according to a new study published in Nature, if you make it safe for people to ride their bikes by building protected bike lanes, a lot more people start riding their bikes. www.jalopnik.com/1876079/maki...

The Netherlands boasts over 35,000 km of separated cycle paths, half of which have been built since 1996. This (fairly recent) success is built on design principles which are embedded in urban planning and together form a deliberate, systematic approach to infrastructure design: youtu.be/pdsUjjncUp0
