Many headlines describe this fatal collision as a "bus crash" or a "crash between a bus and a car". The bus, at the bus stop, was impacted on its left side, the pedestrian killed on the pavement. This was a car being crashed at speed into a bus, at a bus stop, on the opposite side of the road.

Labour has just launched the biggest ever review of England’s water industry since it was privatised - but has banned the “Independent Commission” from even looking at public ownership. Sign our petition to tell Labour they must support nationalisation.⬇️

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 💸 4.5 million UK jobs were paid below real Living Wage in 2024, 800,000 more than in 2023. 💚 The Green Party would introduce a £15 minimum wage for all to lift people out of poverty and reinvigorate local economies.

Pushing through these damaging plans shows such poor economic judgement. Over 100,000 extra flights a year won’t deliver for our communities. Labour should listen to the public who think airport expansion is the wrong priority. #Gatwick

Climate change is already here, and we need to adapt — stronger infrastructure, better flood defences, and real resilience. But we also have a choice: keep heading toward catastrophe or change course now. There is still everything to play for.

Today's Starmer/Trump meeting will set the tone for UK-US relations for years to come & is a vital opportunity for our PM to set clear red lines. Crucially - Starmer must make clear to Trump that the UK will stand firmly against his appalling plan to remove Palestinians from Gaza.

In 10 years we have gone from David Cameron protecting the aid budget to the Conservatives slashing it & now Keir Starmer cutting it further In an insecure world, this government’s decision is callous & reckless We can and must fund aid & defence- both are critical for security

Investing in defence matters, but not through cutting aid to the most vulnerable or squeezing already overstretched budgets. There is another option: asking the wealthiest to contribute more. I challenged the Prime Minister on why that’s not on the table.

Shameful. Labour talk about difficult decisions and tough choices. The choice this time? To cut the foreign aid budget. Why are the 'difficult choices' never taxing the wealth of the super rich?

Every defence and security system we have is entangled with the US. Even GPS is wholly owned by the US Space Force. Our intelligence is automatically shared with the US, whose bases here are allowed to spy on our own citizens. So if the US is now an enemy power, the enemy is already here.

This bike bus through the Silvertown Tunnel is very hard to pin down. Just over a month to go and there’s no real info about the design and not much sign of the bus stops on the ground either.

The net zero economy is growing three times faster than the overall UK economy while providing well-paid secure jobs. Now is the time to go further and faster towards net zero to bring down bills and emissions and provide good jobs. Net zero is the future.

Heading home from a vigil organised by @londoncycling.bsky.social for a young man in his twenties killed while cycling in Stratford, east London. I’m struck by the terrible loss and trauma for families and friends affected and how stupid it is that Vision Zero is not yet even vaguely a reality.

We are grateful to Caroline Russell AM for her support on the awful #Greenway diversion which is now nearing its sixth month. It’s not acceptable that a private water company can sever Newham’s only north/south cycling connection. Both Thames Water and Newham Council need to step up and do more.

Zach tells it like it is! Tory austerity was a disaster for Britain. Labour austerity will be equally bad. The Govt's inability to learn from history, or grasp how economics works, is quite shocking. They're locked in a doom loop of their own creation. What a sad end to a once great party...
