“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Yes, the UK government SHOULD abandon its Carbon Capture and Storage scheme, which a. would cause a net increase in emissions b. is unlikely to work c. uses tens of billions that'd be much better spent on genuinely green projects. Let's hope it has seen sense. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

📈 Today rail fares rise by 4.6%. ✈️ Rail trips are on average twice as expensive as domestic flights. 🚆 We could tax air travel fairly, raising billions to invest in our railways and bring down fares, making the green option the easiest and cheapest option.

I am pleased to see Rupert Lowe has installed solar panels on his farm. It’s a shame Reform Party does not want ordinary people to benefit from cheap, clean, renewable energy. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"if you manage solar energy production in a certain way, not only are you providing clean energy but benefiting biodiversity" An extremely useful study with very unsurprising findings. Solar farms can improve biodiversity (just don't build new ones on nature protected sites). Let's celebrate that.

If you voted Labour is this what you voted for? Rather than make the positive case for why this country absolutely benefits from migration - let alone the moral case - Labour have turned into Reform. Don't just get angry - get active. Join @greenparty.org.uk

I asked the Deputy Prime Minister if she would impose huge, remote unitary County Councils if that is against the wishes of local residents & how she can justify having County Councillors last elected in 2021, leading negotiations on the biggest shake-up of local government in the last half-century.

Is there anything Donald Trump can do that Keir Starmer and David Lammy would criticise? We're not talking here of a slip up or a huge error - we're talking about the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. Appalling that it's been nearly 24 hours of silence.

When will Govt learn you can’t out-Reform Reform - you end up simply legitimising their toxic narrative. To see off populists, Labour needs to invest in public services & local communities, making a real difference to people’s lives - levy a wealth tax & use it to improve people’s lives now

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people. Sound efficient? HT @ellenmacarthurfdn.bsky.social

The Government are planning to approve expansions in a desperate attempt to boost 'economic growth'. Four UK airport expansions including Heathrow would cancel out the carbon savings of Labour's clean energy plans in just five years. The Government must rethink.

I cannot understand why Labour would rather go for growth through trashing the environment with approving extra runways when forging a closer relationship with the EU has so many economic advantages and more. It isn't logical!

Great to see that the reduction in insurance premiums from 20mph that was first identified by #20splenty and #esure is now being endorsed by others in insurance. See this article published today. Towns keeping collision-prone 30mph limits are set to become insurance premium and casualty hotspots.

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.
