chng.it/Y76dBcNN52 PLEASE sign and share. The UK is blundering toward climate crime.

Absolutely crackers. What's going on?! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Prophetic…

Craven.

Yep. Sorry. Fuck this shower and their gaslighting. Not good enough. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Oh wow. So the big prize for a third runway at Heathrow is a whopping 0.43% GDP growth...by 2050. That's definitely worth it then. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... @labouruk.bsky.social

In my column today I argue that, unbelievably, Labour are worse on environmental issues than the Conservatives. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’ve had to leave @teamlabouruk.bsky.social. I’ve lost the faith. Enough is enough ✈️ 🥀💔

Bruxelles Midi Eurostar departure lounge. No other international train journey in Europe imposes this depressing experience on travellers. Why do we do this to ourselves and those who visit us?

@andyburnham.bsky.social the lack of rear doors on Manchester’s buses is wild. They clearly do wonders for passenger flow on busy routes. Can this be one of the goodies re-regulation brings? I write from a packed 43 in Rusholme.

Delightful.

The Devolution White Paper acknowledges that transport policy - specifically public transport - is a key foundation of regional growth. It cites integrated ticketed as mayoral London's emblematic achievement. It even praises the Northern mayors for their intervention on high speed rail.

Bus fares up 50% while fuel duty remains frozen. It's still as shocking as it was on budget day. Register your displeasure here: chng.it/k9tspTwLZK

Well there it is. Voting reform might allow citizens to express their real wishes.

Not just for other drivers, but for other road users, too. Overbright headlights add to the general hostility of the public realm. chng.it/RR7kDvvKY8

Word.

Delicious light in London’s northern heights.

This is a big, early betrayal by labour. Seriously considering changing my vote next time and therefore feeling disenfranchised by our idiotic voting system.

Such a good, easy, cheap policy. 35% reduction in deaths! Labour should do this now in England. After the initial outrage it will have plenty of time to bed in over the rest of the pariament. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Anyone else been allocated to the Germanosphere upon signing up? Not that I’m complaining.
