I am not shy to say when I disagree with Sadiq Khan. But I also think it's important to say out loud when other politicians get it right. This is exactly what the leader of a diverse and vibrant city like London should say. Thank you Sadiq.

Phony gestures. UK energy suppliers to offer tariff with lower standing charge but customers would then pay more for each unit of energy. Profiteering continues unchecked. 20 energy companies made £514bn operating profit since 2020. Nationalise energy. Let customers vote on exec pay, dividends.

We should all be able to travel when and where we need to, but only 3% of disabled people say they can travel without planning in advance. It’s time to make the UK’s transport systems accessible to everyone 👨‍🦼🧑‍🦯🧏‍♀️🐕‍🦺

The border check facilities built to deal with post-Brexit plant and animal inspections have cost an estimated £800m They are likely to become redundant after the SPS deal comes into force How many homes could we have insulated with that money? www.politico.eu/article/brex...

In a corporate owned care home, charging £1,800 a week. Residents face neglect/cruelty. Left in urine-soaked clothes, wet bedsheets, calls for help ignored, not showered for weeks, excrement in corridors, staff shortages. Cruelty is the norm when profits come before people.

Dear Ofwat Thames Water doesn't have a leg to stand on, do not budget an inch If the creditors don't like what you're offering, it's time for Special Administration and PERMANENT public ownership (normal in 9/10 countries around the world) www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

⌛Time's running out for Thames Water. The failing company will likely be put into a Special Administration Regime, a form of temporary nationalisation. The government must then keep Thames in public hands. Great support from @adrianramsaymp! Get your MP to sign the pledge today 👇

Trudeau named not reforming the voting system as his big regret. Starmer shouldn't repeat his mistake. The stakes are now much higher than just who wins the next election. When there's such a disconnect between how people vote and who wins seats, trust in democracy is at risk.

"Schoolchildren who run or walk for 15 minutes a day during the school day are mentally and physically sharper than those who do not, a study suggests." Another great reason to walk the school run! 🚶‍♀️🚶🚶‍♀️#AirQuality #AirPollution #ActiveSchoolRunNW3 buff.ly/3WacBkm

BBC journalist Nick Robinson’s “in-depth” article on “free speech” makes no mention of the 1500 people arrested for holding cardboard signs in recent months… Why would it? It’s only the best UK example of state oppression on rights & freedoms in modern times… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We all know our rivers are polluted. However, it’s not just from sewage, or due to the inaction of failing water companies. What is less talked about, but in many ways worse than sewage, is road runoff. actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

You can be a “car guy” and not like car dependency. You can be a “car guy” and get that too many cars in cities is bad for everyone, including drivers. You can be a “car guy” and be tired of lies & manipulations like “the war on cars.” You can be a “car guy” and know more choice means more freedom.

Rip-off Quarter of the average UK energy bill funds profits. 2010-2025: Privatised energy companies paid £70.7bn in dividends In high winds, turbines turned off as system can't transmit/store electricity. 128,000 a year die in fuel poverty. Many businesses destroyed by high energy bills.

The government has published its explanation of the £100 billion estimate for nationalising English water There are many reasons why we wouldn't have to pay that much but EVEN IF WE DID, Greenwich University research shows it would be a good deal 👇👇👇 weownit.org.uk/news/governm...

Here's a better idea: every data centre you build, you build enough renewable energy to power it, and you supply the waste heat from your cooling system to power homes and businesses nearby. Simple. Common sense. And fair.

Big US tech company Nvidia saying they're gonna build data centres in the UK and we have to burn more gas to power them? Uh, no. British people shouldn't be paying higher bills and suffering accelerated climate change for your bottom line.

The US government took action for the damage caused by the original #Dieselgate scandal. We need our government to do the same - all that’s missing to tackle this is political will. Sign and share our petition!

Ten years since #Dieselgate, and there are still millions of diesel cars on the UK’s roads emitting higher levels of NOx than they are legally allowed to. These excess emissions are making us sick, keeping us off work and costing our economy billions of pounds #AirPollution

To mark the 10 years since #Dieselgate, we asked our volunteers to help us show the passage of time. The children may have grown up, but one thing remains the same: the excess #Diesel emissions in our air, which these children have been breathing their whole lives.
