I scored the same but draw a different conclusion. Comparing the results of people with whom I've shared this, most people can spot the obviously fake headlines. Where they struggle is believing real news.

One of the things that makes cycling a safe activity is the body-language used while navigating traffic. A look over the shoulder, a quick look into one's eyes in which mutual coordination takes place, extending a hand to indicate direction. All small gestures, but extremely important!

These changes dramatically reduced car traffic in central Paris, and Parisians responded in kind. Daily bike trips in the city more than tripled between 2010 and 2022. momentummag.com/paris-proves...

North Sea oil and gas is like a toxic ex - best left in the past. Britain needs to focus on its future, which is green and full of growth. Where to start: lowering bills for working people.

@MartinSLewis is right to mention that energy bills are going up but he doesn't mention the root cause - that we allow the global price of fossil gas to set the price of the energy we make from the wind and sun. If we ‘break the link’ we can lower energy bills.

Growth is totally dependent upon people having enough money to spend. Without the redistribution of wealth in the UK, that is not going to happen. youtu.be/8Xu2x3AwOKM?...

Nasty Party. Senior Tories and big landlords discuss ways to thwart renters’ rights bill. Tories filibustering to thwart no-fault evictions, prevent landlords from accepting more rent than the amount for which a property has been listed, force landlords to carry out essential repairs.

Spring statement targeting ill and disabled is "morally repugnant" say Greens greenparty.org.uk/2025/03/26/s...

⚖️ The scales aren’t balanced. The govt is cutting support for disabled people while refusing to tax extreme wealth. After 15 years of austerity, it's time to rebalance our economy—for good. Tax wealth fairly. Invest in people. Protect our future.

Our for-profit health care system is not only broken & cruel, it's extremely wasteful. While we spend billions on stock buybacks, CEO compensation & denying needed care, Medicare for All would save $650 billion & 68,000 lives a year per CBO & Yale University. Let's get it done.

And a real problem if you're already spending 40% of your income on rent. Cost of heating and ventilation is linked directly to black mould.

🚨Neo-Nazi Party, AfD, doubles support in Germany by turning out people who don’t normally vote. Reform’s boost in the polls has also come from winning over non-voters... Alarm bells should be ringing for everyone who wants to stop the rise of the far right.
